One of the issues that often crops up when people talk about housing and
the difficulties tenants experience with the UK’s private rental sector
(high rents, insecure tenancies, etc) is rent control. Controls are
meant to bring extra stability for tenants but critics say it’s a recipe
for forcing landlords out and decreasing supply. Since most of us will
only ever have experienced rent control through US sitcoms (Monica’s
apartment in Friends, anyone?) we got in touch with people who’ve
actually lived in rent controlled places and had a bit of a dig around.
