In a city with​ rent-controlled apartments, landlords do not have an incentive to rent more apartments than they would without rent control.

Rent control is a form of price ceiling. A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government determines the maximum price of a good or service. A price ceiling is considered to be binding if it is below equilibrium price and it is considered non-binding if it is above equilibrium price.
