Answer to Question 1

Rent ceilings reduce the rental payments of those tenants able to find apartments at the controlled price and decrease the rental income received by landlords. They lead to a shortage of apartments, preventing some tenants from finding a suitable place to live. Another effect can be increased discrimination as landlords can choose tenants based on race, age, gender, or other criteria. Finally, rent ceilings result in black markets emerging and also increase the cost of searching for an apartment.

Answer to Question 2

A
