Rent-Control and Prices of Owner Occupied Housing

Abstract: We examine the relation between rent control and prices of owner occupied housing in the presence of different qualities of housing. While a rent ceiling and the price of condominiums are substitutes if housing is undifferentiated, it is shown that this is not necessarily the case when housing differs in quality. A complete dismantling of rent-control may in fact increase the price of condominiums.
