"Knowing this, landlords must estimate the future market and price..."

No. Just because a landlord is saddled with low rent units does not mean they can charge more for vacant units. They can only charge what the market will allow. They can't magically find renters willing to pay 50% above market just because they have some units being rented for 50% below market.
