Sorry if this comes off snarky but perhaps others posting here can see past next week. All too often these quick fix Band-Aids end up causing more problems in the long run while also spreading the problem far beyond where it had previously been contained.

If there was abundant supply, you could tell a landlord doubling your rent above current market rate to go pound sand. Rent control restricts supply.

I think that artificially decreasing the price of a good/service through regulation decreases the incentive to produce more of the good/service.

The solution to the housing crises is to build more housing. This discourages building more housing.

Most rent control implementations are far too restrictive and create severe market distortions that can last generations. This one, thankfully, is not, and the allowable increases mean units are unlikely to get too far out of whack with market rates.
