    "content": "The world all over, through literature, seems to be a conclusion that any form of rent controls based on the amount of rent paid is counterproductive in the market. It distorts the market. If there are any people in this country that are under housed, they are the low income earners; those ones under the restricted rent of Kshs.2500 and below. Those are the people who are inadequately housed simply because no sane investor would want to invest in that category of housing and have to spend most of his time before the tribunal trying to resolve even basic issues between a landlord and the tenant. It has always been the talk all over. Literature and research has proved this. Any form of rent control ends up being counterproductive. It does not help in enhancing the housing sector and protecting the rights and interest of the various actors."
