Why do you think governments frequently attempt to control apartment rents but not house prices?

Governments often control apartment rents because many middle- and low-incomeearners prefer living in rental homes while wealthy people prefer buying houses. Thepurchasing power of rental apartments is high since the middle- and low-income earnersconstitute a higher percentage of the earning population
