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.

@B2KWFG66 days6D
yes and ban corporate, foreign investor and rich people from purchasing residential real estate too.
@B2FC36T2wks2W
Yes, housing should be affordable to everyone AND corporate and foreign investors need to be banned from purchasing real estate
@B28STLD4wks4W
Yes, but it should also limit what house prices can be as well for those buying. Too many Australians are priced out of the housing market.
@B24STGS2mos2MO
Yes, but do it on a limited scale at first to judge results and ban corporate and foreign investors from purchasing residential real estate as well.
@B23CMCG2mos2MO
Land lords should be able to charge enough rent to cover costs of property repayments and up keep.
@B22G8ZN2mos2MO
Depends on how much they’re limiting (if it’s less costly, theoretically it’s better for people), but I question whether the government actually cares about rising rent. So I don’t trust that a regulation will decrease prices.
@9ZVWP9Z2mos2MO
Yes, however incentivize the development of new housing and cap rental prices in areas that are not in tourist locations
@9ZTPDVM2mos2MO
Yes, and ban corporate and foreign investors from purchasing any form of real estate that is only used as an asset and not as a home.
