O a black market for apartments whereby higher rents are obtained through various other charges in the long-run, more and more people will want to become landlords discrimination as tenants choose their landlords, possibly based on race, age, or gender O a shortage of applicants for the apartments available

Answer 1

The correct answer is: black market for apartments whereby higher rents are obtained through various other charges.

Step-by-step explanation:

A price ceiling refers to an upper limit fixed for the price of a product or service. A rent ceiling means that rent cannot be charged higher than this limit.

This rent ceiling would create higher demand and a smaller supply of apartments. This is because of law of demand and law of supply.

Because of shortage of apartments in the market, a black market will be created where the apartment owners will be able to charge higher rents through other charges.
