I said this elsewhere, but I would anecdotally agree as a landlord.

Everyone is paying for the costs to evict a non-paying tenant in jurisdictions where it can take 12+ months to regain control of a unit.

More friction = more costs, and more regulation = more friction.

I'm not advocating for gutting renter's rights either, but it's not a coincidence that the places with the highest rents also have the most protections for renters.
