Explanation / Answer

The rent is $1,200 a month and 3 thousands apartments a month are rented.

The rent will be equal to rent ceiling meaning the price can not go beyond this and the number of apartments which are rented can be calculated by the supply curve.

If a black market develops the black market rent may be as high as $1600 a month. The black Market rent will be derived at the intersection of demand and supply of apartments.
