There are many implementations of rent controls. Argentina's were rather badly done. Compare to: Germany - where landlords can't charge more than 10% above the local average rent. Spain - where landlords can increase rent only if they improve the property, but the increase can't be more than 20%. Netherlands - where one in three homes in the Netherlands are rent-controlled, and rental apartments are capped at under €1,000 per month. France - rent control applies to furnished and unfurnished properties. Scotland - government introduced emergency legislation to cap rent increases in the private sector at 3% as of 2022. Sweden - rent controls apply to new and older buildings, with local market conditions setting the regulated rents. New York City - a Rent Guidelines Board sets rent increases based on inflation, and landlords are required to renew leases.
