Modest is what we had before. Never vote Conservative.
I think last year's inflation spike demonstrates that "2.5% per year regardless of your carrying costs or maintenance costs changing due to interest rates and inflation" is not modest. A reasonable rent control policy would let landlords gradually adapt to market realities without giving them the power to gouge or de-facto evict tenants with sudden rent spikes.
