You are not answering my question. What is your proposed solution to avoid having a landlord doubling your rent in a week?

The solution is to build enough housing such that the market rate is affordable. Then, landlords need to keep rents low enough to be competitive with other apartments.

If your rent is doubling in a week that means demand for housing is sky high and supply is low. The solution is to build more housing.
