I will say this issue of housing is something that deserves serious attention because it is among the most important things all humans needs for survival.
Housing is one thing with the greatest concern now because I can't tell why it is constantly increasing in price on daily basis especially in urban areas, I don't know if i will say its because of population increases or the wickedness of humans as i see know reason why landlords will start increasing the prices of houses built 10 - 20 years ago blaming the increment in price of commodities when they did not buy anything now that the prices of things has increased.
To find i permanent solution to it, i think the price control system should be adopted especially for nations that have an existing structure layed down to help provide solution to it.
You raised a valid concern. Housing is a basic human need, yet it has become increasingly unaffordable for many people, especially in urban areas. While population growth, inflation, and rising construction costs all contribute to higher rents, some landlords also take advantage of the situation by increasing prices far beyond what is reasonable.
Price control may help in some cases, but it works best when combined with policies that encourage more housing development, improve access to affordable homes, and protect tenants from unfair rent increases. Addressing the housing crisis requires both responsible government policies and fairness from property owners.
I don't blame that of landlords constantly increasing there rent, assuming Nigeria as a country has plans for citizens all those nonsense would have been been controlled because adequate provisions would have been made just like it is in some civilised countries.
In Nigeria today, no matter the policy introduced in regards to rent price control it can never work because you can never enforce such law on landlords when there is no alternative incase they go against it. Just like what happened in mali some time ago, after the rehabilitation that took place in some cement factory although those factories where not state owned, they went ahead to place a price control policy on cement knowing they have alot to sell to the public incase most private sectors says know to it. So for price control to work, the Nigerian government most make provision for accommodation incase the landlords say know to it so citizens will have a place to stay.
