"Tricks exhausted" means when the trick is no longer sufficient to keep apartments filled; when the only way to entice new renters is lower absolute rents.

No one is going to click on a $2000 apartment with six months free when the listings are full of $1500 apartments.

The trick is that they advertise it for $1500 and report up to the government it was $2000. That’s the point of the trick..
