FWIW many "new" landlords know full well they are taking a loss on their cashflow, which also reduces their tax burden, while they invest in that property for the long run. This is obviously not a well thought out plan in 2018, but 10 years ago it would look smart.
I'll use the example of Klazu. Any smart landlord would know that to keep such a tenant is worth more than squeezing the maximum amount out of him with each yearly maximum increase. You hang on to good tenants.

A lot of these people are going to get burned as new rental comes on stream and pre-sale condo buyers realize they can't unload their spec units for a big profit as they expected.
