There are often ways around that. For example the state can manipulate the markets, or offer an alternate choice, for example to never raise rents ever.

Lowering rents was part of the plan anyways, I think. Market manipulation through rent caps has been tried before and (in the Berlin version) declared unconstitutional.

It's constitutional, it was just ruled it wasn't a municipal faculty
