The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

It shows that "no rent control" basically means "your landlord can throw you out at any time without notice" by raising rent to a ludicrous amount. It completely undermines all other tenant protections. Even conservatives should be supporting at least modest rent controls to prevent cases like this.
