rent control is a price ceiling. The objective of controlling the prices of rent is usually to counteract the inequality of bargaining power between landlords and tenant, as part of a minimum set of rights to make the market fair. Advantage of rent control is limited rent increased. A disadvantage is tighter restrictions on roommates.
