Rents wouldn't go up in general, because the rental market is driven by wages, not by landlords' costs. Landlords already charge as much as the market can bear.

If there's a negative consequence, it would be on the supply side. If letting becomes less profitable, then there's less money for renovating and maintaining rental properties.
