Paper Summary:

The paper provides details of the rent control policy, including when it was enacted, how it works and what it was designed to accomplish. The paper then offers arguments both in its favor and against it and suggests modifications to the policy in order for it to become more effective.

From the Paper:

"In order to present the topic to the reader, we will try to define the main terms. In a free market, the demand and the supply tend towards what it is called 'the market equilibrium', that is towards a balance point. Because in some cases this thing does not happen, due to different reasons, the state decides to impose a floor price or a ceiling price, meaning that the state will impose through a law or other regulating act a minimum or maximum price of a good. "Rent control, like all other government-mandated price controls, is a law placing a maximum price, or a 'rent ceiling,' on what landlords may charge tenants." This law has its roots in the years after World War I when "rents were 'controlled' through the efforts of local rent anti-profiteering committees and public pressure" . That is, between 1919 and 1924 some cities and states adopted measures such as "rent and eviction control laws" . The next step was the adoption of modern rent control after the Second World War and "following Richard Nixon's 1971 wage and price controls.""
