Capping rental rates to mortgages is the best solution. Whatever the mortgage is, you can't charge a penny more than that.

A use it or lose it policy would also be effective. Rent or sell an unoccupied house or it is turned over to the city council at half tax assessment value.

You need to have teeth, actual losses to encourage them to move.
