They end up actually raising the prices of existing non-regulated apartments and properties, and have a very chilling effect on investor activity in the subject area.Of course, there are cases where some regulation is required for those nasty slum-lord types to prevent kicking out someone in the middle of winter into the deep, freshly-fallen snow, or if they won't fix the hot water for weeks at a time.But, IMO, the more government gets their sticky fingers involved in a legitimate business, the worse they make the situation; it is almost never improved.
