This is not true. Landlords have immense power everywhere, even in markets where supply far outstrips demand. (Much of the non-coastal US are places where supply far outstrips demand for many years, and landlords are still immensely powerful here) You still have to break up price fixing cartels like this. You can't just lean back and pretend "moar supply" will magically fix anything.

As a landlord, I can tell you this is false. A good tenant for cheap rent is worth much more than a few extra bucks. Have you owned rental housing before? Didn't think so. The cute comments ("moar supply") signify your ignorance on the various aspect of the housing market at large. And that is an unproductive comment that demonstrates your overall lack of understanding of the issue at hand. This "cartel" is a symptom, not a cause. Nobody is price fixing sedans, are they? I wonder why. Oh, supply of hundreds of options and price points? Hmmmm....
