> How would you even enforce a law that prohibits "high" prices In the Netherlands there is a points system. Every feature of a house like the number of bathrooms, windows, heating, etc contributes to the score. It's mostly used to define the social housing threshold: houses below a certain number of points are removed from the free market and have the rent fixed as a function of the score. For houses on the free market, you look at average price per sqm for the area. High rent is off the curve. You can also correlate to the baseline set by the points system, and rent as a proportion of average income to define 'high'.
