    You can legislate anything but the costs will always be one hundred percent covered by those using the services.

    This smells of what I’ve heard described before as “the fallacy of immutable profits”. Landlord profit margins aren’t set in stone. The state could pass any number of additional renter protection measures to force landlords to eat the costs if they wanted to.
