Regulation doesn’t automatically mean better.
You can make regulations that benefit large real estate corporations and that’s still regulation.
We have a lot of that in the parts of US. There are rules encouraging landlords to keep high rental rates bc if they lowered it, they’d have to offer that to other renters as well. Many landlords choose to have empty rooms and keep that high rental rate.
