Rent Regulation
Edit

Rent regulation is a system of laws, administered by a court or a public authority, which aim to ensure the affordability of housing and tenancies on the rental market for dwellings. Generally, a system of rent regulation involves: The classic objective is to limit the price that would result from the free market. The loose term "rent control" can apply to several types of price control: Comprehensive rent regulation is common in Commonwealth and European Union countries, including Canada, Germany, Ireland, Cyprus, Sweden, and four states in the United States . A majority of OECD countries maintain rent-regulation laws, some changing to softer rent controls. A 2009 review of the economic literature:106 by Blair Jenkins through EconLit covering theoretical and empirical research on multiple aspects of the issue, including housing availability, maintenance and housing quality, rental rates, political and administrative costs, and redistribution for both first generation and second generation rent control systems found that “the economics profession has reached a rare consensus: Rent control creates many more problems than it solves”.:105 :1 :1 :1

Retrieved 2018-09-09. " Taxes on land have long had a magnetic attraction for liberals and economists. ... One of George’s arguments for confiscating land rents was that landlords do not deserve the gains they accrue when others invest in an area. This was echoed by Winston Churchill, then a Liberal, in support of the “people’s budget”. “Roads are made, streets are made, services are improved, electric light turns night into day, water is brought from reservoirs a hundred miles off in the mountains—and all the while the landlord sits still,” he thundered. The argument emphasises the potential for landowners to benefit at the taxpayer’s expense. There is lots of evidence that local house prices rise when taxpayers provide, say, better transport links.
