Is Finance Minister Lieberman detached when he claims that rental prices have jumped by only one and a half percent?

"Prevent irresponsible statements by decision makers"
Real estate appraiser Ohad Danos, who conducted the review, commented on the numbers: “The rental market, like the real estate market in general, is not monotonous.
Different and local trends of supply and demand affect in different directions depending on the situation at a given moment.
It would be highly desirable to regulate the rental market, at least at the reporting level, and then irresponsible statements from decision makers would be avoided and the public could avoid arguments between professionals in the field. "
Against the background of the announcement of price increases in Tel Aviv, the Deputy Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo and the Chairman of the Planning and Construction Committee, Adv. Doron Sapir, to the Minister of Finance Lieberman: "I appeal to you to lead a simple move Jaffa and the State of Israel.
"Tax exemption for a single landlord, who rents another apartment to improve housing, and division of the brokerage fee burden between the landlord and the tenant."
