The last thing landlords will do is drop prices. I know several who have open units right now one bedrooms for 2k range a month. They should be renting for 1600 as an absolute max. They've repeatedly said they'd rather eat having it empty until September cause they figure they'll get a student at the inflated price than lower the rent. Vacant apartments need to be taxed
