It all depends if tenants can afford it. On a scale this could be "happy with rent"->"rent too high but can afford"->"cannot afford rent, in arrears".

Are average renters getting 7% pay raises every year in perpetuity?

In extreme markets, perhaps.

Normally one landlord's ability to raise rents is constrained by the prices other landlords charge.
