I question if their intent is to pander to constituents to get votes rather than make decisions in their constituents best interests.Here is some predictions: 1) rent for existing tenants will go up max allowed increase 2) rents for turned over units will go up far higher than the historical average.

I agree with you that it's hard to predict future liabilities in condos, but if you choose wisely (solid management, reliable developer, newer construction), you can reduce the risk. 

There is no "big deal" here. a High interest rate doesn't bother me as long as the numbers work for me and I end up making more money which is what the numbers are predicting will most likely happen.

I like to share this story as a cautionary tale and while nobody has a crystal ball and can predict the future, understanding the end goal can  help investors understand  whether they invested in a market that can reap the true benefits of SFH rental ownership or perhaps point them in that direction.
