All of this really depends on the scale of the landlord. There are many retiree types that are renting out their in-law suite or have an extra rental property and definitely cannot afford bad tenant behavior. They are probably in a worse negotiation position compared to a squatting bad tenant in those cases and very much care about their neighborhood, probably more than the renter. --- OTOH, rent control doesn't matter too much if the max percentage cap is high enough and tenants can't squat in eviction court for months as they destroy the old person's inlaw suite and their home.
