So let me get this straight. Based on your unique situation, you are making an evaluation for everybody else, regardless of which country they are living in and how much of a scumbag the landlord is.

I lived in a number of rent control flats — both in the UK where they have social housing and in South Africa. Most landlords are the scum of the earth.

They never return profits, and they let their tenants live in slums. Like Trump, for instance.

Please don’t use your personal situation as an example. That’s not how one arrives at objective ingormation.
