Presumably because one of the two things are true:

- there's competition, and so if it's possible to rent for less than 1000-eps and still profit, someone will

- there's no competition, which is a cartel, the kind of thing that civilized societies ought to frown upon

Do you know the adage location location location? The competition for good locations is among renters, not landlords. Seller's market vs buyer's market. Doesn't have to mean there's a cartel, it also doesn't mean there isn't one but it's not a guarantee.

    I am trying to understand your perspective. How do people buying and selling real estate, the origin of the adage “location, location, location,” not compete on locations?

      I didn't say that people didn't compete on locations, I said the opposite.

        You said “the competition for good locations is among renters, not landlords.”

          There's orders of magnitude more renters looking for a place than landlords willing to rent in the best locations.
