Ask someone from winnipeg how they feel about rent control. Landlords there won't put any money into building new projects or into renovating existing projects because there is no way to get that money back out of the building, which falls into disrepair.
No one goes crying for rent controls when rents are low to protect the landlords ... and no one should now, when people can make some money off their investment. I know it's easy for me to say since I own my home, but still: rent control is a dangerous game to play.
