    Would like to buy, but many properties are over priced, interest rates aren’t favorable, and don’t have the money for the required down payment, so stuck renting, and landlords/leasing agents are taking advantage. We need rent control.

        Duluth, Minnesota, tried to do some control for absent landlords, requiring that landlords live within or have a representative within X miles of the rental. Unfortunately, all that did was make management companies more overbearing when owners turned to them to be the local contact.
