Yes, as long as they set it at limits that levels that landlords can make money as well. They should have make money off of their investment.
@9P3FPBF9mos9MO
We shouldn’t rent control but bar the limit of corporate owned single family homes. Let the free market bring down rent prices as a consequence.

Yes, but only to maintain rate ranges based on local wages, public resources, and allows for reasonable profits to owners.
@9QXJGMZ8mos8MO
Yes, there has to be rent control if there won’t be any help or change in wages. People are unable to eat, or drive a vehicle just to have a roof over their head, due to greedy landlords.
@9MKWNW49mos9MO
There needs to be a fair balance between rent prices and the local cost of living. Rent control may not be the best option.
@9VJZZCG5mos5MO
Yes, and stop corporations from buying up homes that they never plan to use themselves, only to rent them out at exorbitant prices.
