Option 1

 * Article title: "Rent Regulation" (sector article)
 * Article Evaluation: The history and politics section are very small and needs more information. As a matter a fact, most of the sections are small and need expansion. There is also little to no information about why there is a need for rent regulation and what causes these problems. The articles also does not include who are the individuals that are in need of these political changes. Also the article focuses on an economic approach when speaking of rent control instead of a social approach. There are also some sentences that need citations or have links to articles that do not exist. I would also say that the sources that were used is a mix of older and somewhat current sources. Also the sections in the article are in away related to the topic but they just need to be more elaborated on. The article also seems not to meet Wikipedia's equity gaps.

Option 2

 * Article title: "Rent Control in the United States" (area article)
 * Article Evaluation: I do not think this article is entirely neutral particularly because of the sections that provide arguments for and against rent control. The section for rent control contains only a sub section of economic and moral reasons and both are really short. Whereas the section that is arguing against rent control has an economic, social, and moral subsection which are much longer than the arguments for rent control. Most of it leans towards an economic approach rather than a social one. Also the article is suppose to cover rent control all over the US but the history sections is quite small. There is also a number of sentences that do not have citations and some sources seem to date back to the 1980s so they are no longer reliable. This article too, does not include why rent control might be needed nor does it include the individuals who are and have been involved in the rent control movement.
