More taxes on Landlords mean higher rents, more demand driving up pressure on supply. More exiting the market. Almost like it’s a deliberate Government policy to shrink the market, if you can’t buy and aren’t living at home still what are people supposed to do.
Ironically a freer Rental market can help renters due to a degree of reduced competition for rooms, flats , space etc. Though Landlords who charge far above the market rate who have borrowed irresponsibly are to blame as well.
If you are a responsible landlord and charge at or somewhere below theMarket rate and keep property well maintained and clean. Landlords directly save the Government money so anti landlordism might be popular but until there is enough supply of affordable and social housing, housing associations etc it will remain a fallback for many.
