They tried that in the 70s and it made gas lines around the block and you could only get 1/2 a tank.While we’re at it, why not put grocery prices on “food control”? Or gas on “fuel control”?

Right now those overloads are screwing the renters.
It's an awesome idea..........
If you want to destroy existing housing and disincentivize future construction.
There is no direct tax on food. There is tax on just about everything it takes to get it to the store, though.Or stop taxing food.
We do need rents to be lower but we don't need decrees coming down from the government attacking landlords, especially when they took the shaft during the pandemic. Yes, we do need rents to be lowered but they need to be lowered mostly by nixing liberal policies which made the rents higher and some of that has to do with Democratic induced inflation. We also need to secure the border because with all of these people flooding into the country illegally, it forces rents higher through higher demand.National rent control? The usual suspects think it is a great idea. What say you?

Biden rolls out 'Renters Bill of Rights' as lawmakers push for federal rent control laws
The Biden administration on Wednesday announced new actions aimed at tackling rental affordability, which comes as some progressive lawmakers push for a national rent control plan.www.aol.com
Would it help or exacerbate the problem?
The way to lower rents is to encourage people to provide rental housing. Excess supply always lowers prices.We do need rents to be lower but we don't need decrees coming down from the government attacking landlords, especially when they took the shaft during the pandemic.

Big banks need to get kicked out of the rental business. Also local governments need to stop gouging people for renting property.The way to lower rents is to encourage people to provide rental housing. Excess supply always lowers prices.

Why don't you work harder you lazy bumThats fine for people with enough money to BUY a fucking house.
Not everybody can afford the money it takes to get a house...............and you can thank the Demoicreeps for THAT as well!
They know this, they are just willfully lying about it to get their angry dopamine fix"Rent control" means you can't raise rent.
What the Democrats are propounding is a law which prevents rents from being increased at exorbitant rates.
The thread should have been closed after this post friend.Landlords/banks/owners would just find other ways to charge renters for more shit.
They'd be coming out with all these "fees" and "administrative costs", and other bullshit to charge people for.
So rent control really doesn't matter, because people will get fucked over a different barrell.
The airlines did this, automakers did this, and other such companies have done this.
In the long run, you will just end up paying double.
Correct, almost completely due to government policies that drive up costs to build housing. The government should be encouraging housing construction by tax breaks and other incentives, not discouraging it by punitive taxes and mandates that raise costs, delay construction permits and act as a DISINCENTIVE to build new rental or sale housing.There is no excess supply.
We have a housing shortage
If you can afford rent, you can afford a mortgage.Thats fine for people with enough money to BUY a fucking house.

I predicted this outcome last September:Thanks for explaining their bad idea.
This is going to end very badly.
The renters are accumulating crippling debt. They are going to have to pay all that back rent sooner or later. They are going to end up homeless when the moratorium ends. The Democrats are delaying the inevitable and destroying property owners in the process. The longer this moratorium drags on, the more small business owners will be plowed under.
Individual landlords are going broke. They will go out of business and their properties are going to be hoovered up by LLCs and LLPs who will then drive up rents which the current soon-to-be homeless renters won't be able to afford.
The winners in this rolling train wreck will be rich investors.
