rent control

When I look at it that way I still say, because we use the market to allocate goods and services in the United States. That's what distinguishes us from the communists. Why should housing deviate so greatly from this principle? If so, why not require anyone who has a homeless person knock at their door to provide them with a spare bed?

Nothing prevents someone from locking in a long-term rental contract. But I haven't seen too many renters looking for ten year leases.
There are all kinds of rules applicable to housing. Why can't landlords rent out housing that is overrun with rats and roaches, with non-functioning plumbing and no heat?
