"rental contracts ending" is a cute way of saying "evictions" and a way that allows you to mentally distance yourself from the messy gooey people problems that arise -- grandma getting thrown out on the street, communities being disrupted, etc. I'm generally against rent control, but I still acknowledge that housing is more than a technical business contract. It IS exactly just that to some people, but if you refuse to acknowledge the people on the other end, the only people you're going to bring to your side are your buddies at the country club.
