Rent Control. This brief study will examine some of the arguments for and against rent controls. In the final analysis it is clear that the impetus behind rent control is surely benevolent; but it is nevertheless misguided. Rent controls are more damaging than often believed and there is little that government policy can do to ameliorate the situation. Price floors are economically unsound policy platforms, and it is more likely that rents would better be determined and controlled by the free use of market forces. 4 pgs. 9 f/c. 5b.
