Rent Controls Over Rent Controls Over TimeTime Short run supply for rental units is
relatively fixed (inelastic). In the long run supply is more elastic,
indicating that landowners will increase the quantity of apartments supplied if rents rise, over time.

Rent Controls Over Rent Controls Over TimeTime Rent controls will set the price below
equilibrium and create shortages. This will cause the short run supply to
decrease.
If rent controls are removed, the short run supply will increase again.

what happens when supply or demand curves shift.
It is necessary to understand the assumptions underlying the analysis.
