In San Francisco, it is illegal to for a master tenant to rent a room for more than the subtenant’s proportionate share of the space. You can charge more, but hell will descend upon you once the subtenant figures it out.

How does that even work? By floor area?

That's not how pricing works!

It prevents you from arbitraging rent control, which is great, or master leases in rent controlled buildings would never turn over at all.

Great. Price controls to fix the unintended consequences of price controls.
