That doesn’t establish how common vacancy rates are. You need to look at the rate, not the number. And politicians passing a law means nothing about the fundamentals: you’d need to know if the law is well targeted, or instead perverse. Do you have any data on how long properties are vacant? And if they’re vacant, are they vacant for a reason like renovations or construction? Every landlord I’ve ever had has wanted to rent their place quickly. They hate missing a month.
