People can own multiple residencies, they just can't sell them at more than 3-5% profit. Corporations can't own residencial buildings if they are single family units but for multi-family properties, so long as it is being offered as rent/lease/purchase that should of course be allowed. I was focusing more on single family units but you are right to highlight that.



That would seriously restrict supply because once people bought a house with the intention of renting it out they would never sell due to the price control. Just like an entailment, this property can never leave the family line.


Supply should come from new housing right? People selling their house to move to another house is a transfer of propery not generating supply.


Plenty of people rent single family units.


Yes, and that should be allowed so long as the landlord is an individual.
