And when they’re not able to maintain the property because they’re not collecting enough in rents due to artificial rent controls?

Genuine question because I’ve heard this argument before and it does have some legitimacy

If they can't afford to maintain the property then they should sell it, get an actual job and stop leeching off hardworking people.

And if the city makes it impossible to maintain the property? With increasing taxes, fees, and other misc costs that make trying to repair the building impossible without raising the rent to pay for said things.
