TL;DR version: Rent control keeps overall rents artificially high by disincentivizing new construction. Correct?

  In addition, it encourages inefficient use of existing housing.

    Like me not finding incentive for renting out my existing apartment when I'm out of town?

      Not really a problem. A more significant thing is not finding incentive to move to a 2-room apartment after kids have grown up, because regulated price of your 6-room apartment is same as the 2-room would be.
