Rent control policies are regulations that limit the amount landlords can increase rent, intended to keep housing affordable. Proponents argue that it makes housing more affordable and prevents exploitation by landlords. Opponents argue that it discourages investment in rental properties and reduces the quality and availability of housing.

Yes, but only as a temporary measure while the housing crisis is addressed.

No, the government should focus on increasing housing supply instead.
@9MQZN532wks2W
Yes, but in the long term private renting should be phased out
@9MM9RGW3wks3W
Yes, and apply heavy taxes on vacant properties, with a stipulation of state repossession of the property after a period of 5 years of vacancy/dereliction for the property to then be rented directly by the state as affordable housing.
Provided the government don’t put the sole blame on the landlord and reduce rental tax then yes. Some landlords pay 50% tax and still have mortgages on the property so a cap should be reflective of this.
