@Suzianne saidYou are naive to think that rent control will not lead to problems. Of course, it will. Tremendous fallout, affecting many facets of society.
Rent control enabled many more people to live in NYC back when it was in effect.
You'd rather price young people with promising careers out of living in the city.
Do you want them to live out in Hackensack and take the train into the city every day for work?
Google it. You would do yourself a favor to get up to speed on that if it becomes a big discussion topic
@AverageJoe1 saidIf your grandmother is free to charge whatever rent she likes on her hundred's of units, making them unaffordable to the average joe, pushing them out of their neighbourhoods, then the government is free to charge her excessive property taxes.
One person renting his property to another is the same concept everywhere, be it USA or UK.
You said above the word 'inflated' rents, and then here you use the word 'fair'. These are irrelevant terms. Lord, who is going to define 'fair'. And I really don't know what you mean by inflated.....If my investment partners and I have a meeting and discuss the rent to charg ...[text shortened]... r nanny government overseeing the signing of the lease, will be in effect controliing the business..
I'll give them a ring.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidYes they can do that, you have just made one of my points when I say above that the govt actions which you so cherish will lead to difficult economics. You say they would raise taxes . if they raise taxes the owner, my grandmother, could not afford to own the property. Is my opinion that Mamdani would have his sights set on the government taking over that property. Now you take it from there.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidI found it creepy that you have an easy time of saying what the government would do. You are a government dependent and it is really showing. Congratulations.

A dependent. You look to the government. You depend on the government. The government has every right to do what they want to do. And you think all of that is well and good. Pitiful.
A dependent. “ we will do what it takes to tell that woman how to own and run her property.”
That is what you’re saying, and that is pitiful.
@AverageJoe1
I cant get over your saying that. The govt will 'punish' you? Get even? Force you out? What in the hell?
@AverageJoe1 saidIf your granny is a scumbag than I hope the gov't takes it

@AverageJoe1 saidIs your granny a slum lord like trump was?
It is not the job of the government don’t you see. Just pitiful ….you’re getting checks from the government are you???
Pitiful.
@AverageJoe1 saidRent control in NYC began in 1943 during World War II to address a housing shortage and was later supplemented by rent stabilization laws in 1969. The city's rent regulation history is characterized by initial government intervention to protect tenants from price gouging, evolving to include different forms of control and stabilization for many of the city's rental units.

And as we all know, the world came to an end right after.
@Suzianne saidZohran Mamdani's rent freeze policy proposes freezing rents for rent-stabilized apartments in New York City to help tenants facing high housing costs.

So, it is a FREEZE. Ouch.
You say rent control, and you say rent regulation.
You need to get on down to the Pub.
