Taxation of rental income (through income tax) is replaced $ for $ with property tax. Rental prices for tenants go:
1
Never closes
down
up

Taxation of rental income (at 50% for example):

Rental income: $2000/month

Tax: $1000/month

Rental Income: $0 (unrented)

Tax: $0

Property tax: (at 0.1%/month on $1 million assessed value)

Rental income: $2000/month

Tax: $1000/month

Rental Income: $0 (unrented)

Tax: $1000/month

In reality because there's some level of vacancy rate, heterogeneity between rental prices and assessed values, and dynamic effects of the different taxes, it's a bit more complex to convert how much property tax would be needed to replace taxing rental income $ for $.

Regardless, what direction do you think rental prices would go if taxing rental income were replaced with property tax?
