Under rent control,landlords cease to be responsive to tenants' concerns about the quality of the housing.Why is this

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rent control can result in shortages of available rental units, which leads to waiting lists and high demand among tenants. Landlords then have no incentive to maintain or improve the quality of their properties since they know that tenants have limited options and will have to accept whatever housing they can get. Therefore, landlords become unresponsive to tenants' concerns about the quality of the housing.
