Why are landlords given free rein to cripple the economy by pricing workers out of important major cities ?

The average landlord is just a regular person with 1 or 2 rental properties. Trying go paint them as these evil money hungry capitalist doesn't make any sense. There's a huge difference between them and the Landlord Landlords that are actually giant investment firms/ hedge funds with hundreds of millions/ billions that they can use to skew the housing market.

Regular people don't own 1-2 rental properties...

Regular people make 30k, do service work and live check to check :hubie:

They're going to charge what the market will pay...

If the govt wants to put some sort of cap on increases or price per month, it should be done on individuals/corporations that hold 10+ properties. Also, that can be difficult to track b/c owners will have a different LLC for every property...most in chicago already do that already.
