It gives landlords an incentive to attract renters. - second choice

Answer 2

B. It gives landlords an incentive to attract renters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent control is a government policy that serves to prevent the property owner of a building to increase a rent at will. The rent control places a limit on a lease or rent renewal.

Once applied in certain municipalities, its fairness might attract new occupants, maintain older ones therefore preserve neighborhoods.

Neighborhoods closer to city centres may use the system of rent control to prevent mass transit congestion. People will not need to reside far from work thus, reduce long distance transportation cost and traffic congestion at peak periods.

Renters are also attracted to areas that employ the use of rent control however, following the forces of supply and demand, this may eventually create scarcity of housing units.
