Devil&#x27;s advocate: you think your landlord should be allowed to double your rent at the end of your lease? (If they can choose to not continue the lease and evict you, I guess it&#x27;s the same thing.)

I&#x27;m sure there are many flavours of rent control, tilting either towards landlords or tenants.
