... the govt does much less to distort the market price of rents than it does to distort housing prices through its various forms of meddling. as a result rents should be priced pretty efficiently.

Why do you say that? If anything it is worse on rentals, because interest on a rental mortgage is also tax deductible plus you get to depreciate the structure which is not true for homeowners.
