The answer is: 3. The quantity of available rental housing units falls

Explanation:

Rent control is a type of price ceiling, where the price of a product is artificially lowered below the equilibrium price.

Whenever a price ceiling is introduced, the quantity supplied of products or services will decrease. That happens because as the price of a product increases, suppliers are willing to offer a larger quantity of that product. But if the price of a product decreases, suppliers will be willing to offer smaller quantities of that product. (Law of Supply).

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
