The Impact of Rent Control on Rents in the Free Sector

Franz Hubert

Urban Studies, 1993, vol. 30, issue 1, 51-61

Abstract: In most cases rent control covers only a part of the housing stock. This note provides a simple analysis of the impact which rent control and non-price rationing exert on the rent in the free sector. It is shown that, depending on the rationing mechanism, rents in the free sector can be higher or lower than in the absence of rent controls.
