MODERATORS
What you're describing is often called "Rent Control" and it is something liberal politicians from New York to California have crusaded against for decades, on the grounds that it prevented new residential housing space from being built.
Incidentally, there is no recognized correlation between rent control as a policy and diminished housing starts.
Why would you lie about something so easily disprovable?

Lmao, what kind of organization is that? Either your working for them, or you have been played. Give another source than some organization that nobody has heard of and lobbies against renters rights.
Naa merged with nmhc according to Wikipedia
Literally quoting the nation's biggest renter lobby to call me a liar? Okay.
