What does your comment have to do with companies listing illegal short stay rents? Nothing.
Rent is going up in every big city on the planet. It has nothing to do with any government policy, much more to do with ultra rich people and other funds using real-estate as a safe "investment", because they are well aware that the stock market valuations are mostly bullshit propped up by fake money.

Berlin is an example where government has mostly successfully kept rents stable, or a least a lot more stable that most other cities. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-19/berlin-senate-approves-a-five-year-rent-freeze https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-19/berlin-se...
