Tenants in rent-controlled apartments will experience immediate stability in their housing costs.
Landlords may reduce investment in property maintenance or seek alternative revenue streams as income growth is capped.
This could lead to a long-term decrease in available rental units or an increase in the cost of non-rent-stabilized housing if supply is constrained.
