rent ceiling
Landlord payment limit
A rent ceiling is a legal limit on how much landlords can charge tenants, typically set by local or national government to keep housing affordable.
Rent ceilings are a form of price control that can create housing shortages when market rates exceed the cap: The city imposed a rent ceiling of $1,500 for one-bedroom apartments.
