Then tax and cap rent increases county wide on every building no matter when it was built or if a tenant moves out. Then again, I'm pretty far left on housing issues. In my ideal world, the rent formula would be:

monthy rent = 0.3(minumum hourly wage * 160 hours) * n bedrooms; with studios being n = 0.5

That way if landlords want to lobby for higher profit margins, the only way to do it would be to also ensure the working class can actually afford to supply those higher profit margins for the landlords.
