In a January 2023 edition of the Wall Street Journal, an opinion piece commented on a letter the current President received from 50 lawmakers attempting to prevent “price-gouging” in the rental real estate markets. Robby and special guest Emma Herman discuss the economics of this particularly thorny policy called “rent control”. Highlights Rent control and its effects on landlords and tenants Rent control is a price ceiling on the amount landlords can charge for rent, which can reduce the supply of rental properties The reasons why people want to be landlords In San Francisco, a study found that rent control benefits current tenants in the short run, but can freeze the rental market in time, leading to inefficiencies and lack of supply Landlords may be disincentivized to improve rental properties under rent control policies Removal of rent control in Cambridge was found to decrease crime, but it can be difficult to remove rent control policies once they are imposed Landlords are often left out of the conversation around rent control policies It is important for those who oppose rent control to get involved and make their voices heard A shadow market is a black market where people find ways around the price ceiling imposed by rent control policies People in Stockholm have to wait years for apartments, and some end up negotiating contracts with people ahead of them on the waiting list or paying exorbitant sublease fees Rent control policies can have unintended consequences that actually benefit those who were not intended to benefit from the policy Sometimes it is better to keep the hand of government off the marketplace and let the invisible hand of the market dictate price movements Episode Resources Connect with Kim Butler and Robby Butler www.wealthrenegadepodcast.com www.prosperityeconomics.org hello@pem.email Robinson465@hotmail.com TheRentButler@gmail.com Connect with Emma Herman emmafherman@outlook.com   Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here Make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.
