Of course you can: governments do this all the time. Tariffs, incentives, taxes, subsidies, laws.

People in this case are responding to the need by renting out rent controlled apartments for a very large premium to people who under normal conditions may not be eligible to live there in the first place. Same thing here in NL, with in the larger cities a healthy dollop of AirBNB tossed in for some extra artificial shortage.
