I can’t believe anyone is surprised at this. Having a buy to let property is unattractive with punitive taxation but a deliberate move by Govt to make it so. Lack of supply is the consequence (and higher rents) & Govt must own the problem they’ve caused

I disagree. #landlords do not set rents. The market does. And in this supply crisis, exacerbated by punitive taxation and the threat of excessive regulation, I’m afraid the only losers will be the very people Polly wants to protect: #renters 🧵

Think you can blame astronomical rents on landlords’ mortgage rates? Think again. Landlords are both profiting from and driving the out-of-control rental market. Yet another reason the government must hold its nerve on the #RentersReformBill

The ⁦ @NRLAssociation ⁩ can eff off. Their members are now getting hurt so 1/3 of BTLs are selling up. These schmucks are calling for tax cuts to keep the rigged housing market propped up. No, let the landlords bleed we need a free market correction.

Pleased to explain on @BBCNews the good work that #landlords have been doing during the pandemic to sustain tenancies - but Govt must now address the #rentdebtcrisis as the eviction ban lifts thru financial support to keep people in their homes. @NRLAssociation

NEW: Housing charities have withdrawn their support for the Renters Reform Bill @shelter & @RentersReformCo who have previously backed govt reforms say they’ve been watered down by “a minority of landlord backbenchers” and will be a “colossal failure that won’t protect tenants.”

Good to talk to @LBCNews just now on the thorny issue of rent control. If you want to follow the example of Scotland, or many others, and choke off supply and increase #rents further then crack on. Just be ready to declare a housing emergency as they did this week. If you’re

I was delighted to challenge much nonsense at the select committee yesterday, raising important issues on behalf of our sector - including LHA, taxation of landlords, Court reform, periodic tenancies, students, and housing supply. And also why absurd sug…

🐷EXPOSING THE GROUND RENT GRAZERS🐷 This one’s for @BimAfolami , @RishiSunak , @michaelgove , @Lee4NED and @mtpennycook . In a general election year, it is crucial to debunk the sector spin of the ‘ruined granny’ and show who is really behind the protection racket of ground rent.

“With 168 different regulatory provisions for #landlords , key aides in Johnson’s office believe that the scale of regulation is off putting to landlords and could restrict housing supply.” @BorisJohnson is right to be concerned & must get DHLUC in line.

Interesting point from @Kwajotweneboa - for all of the PRS’s faults, private #landlords are held to account for their actions and #renters have a far better experience than they do in social housing. The truth is that we need a greater supply in both sectors, and putting all
