Pollination is the process of pollen being transferred from the male part of a flower called an anther to the female part of a flower called a stigma. Animals, birds, and insects that carry the pollen between flowers are called pollinators. Pollination is essential to the survival of plants because it is part of their reproductive process. It is equally important for people because without pollination we would not have vegetables and fruits to eat.
DEFINITION of 'Rent Control'. A price control that limits the amount a property owner can charge for renting out a home, apartment or other real estate. Rent control acts as a price ceiling by preventing rents either from being charged above a certain level or from increasing at a rate higher than a predetermined percentage.
Sometimes called rent leveling or rent stabilization, rent regulation is argued to promote social stability by slowing displacement in booming economic cycles. It is argued by most economists, including a number of neo-classical and Keynesian economists that some forms of rent control create shortages and exacerbate scarcity in the housing market by discouraging private investment in the rental market.
