Rent Underground

The Rent Underground shines a light on the inequities in housing, where renters are often at the mercy of landlords and rising rent prices. With stagnant wages, many are left unable to afford decent housing, while property owners profit from inflated real estate values and government policies that favor them.

Players will:

• Examine how rent control, housing policies, and zoning laws are used to benefit landlords and large property developers.
• Investigate how rising rent prices contribute to wealth inequality and housing insecurity.
• Propose policies that ensure fair rent practices and improve access to affordable housing.

In the Dream Runs of the Rent Underground, players can test strategies like universal rent control or public housing initiatives, reshaping the rental landscape to make it more equitable.
