Ireland launched a campaign against greedy landlords with rent control, 52% tax, no deductions, no evictions. They succeeded & landlords left the market in droves Now there are 716 homes available to rent in the entire country and 150 queued for this one bed yesterday. #VanRe

In Canada the maximum possible payout from the Canada pension plan is $1,368. The average payout is $758 a month. Americans get an average of $1,707 & a maximum of $3,627 in USD. They only have to work 10 years to qualify too.

If you want to make rentals readily available, make rental income tax free. It's unpalatable, but do we want readily available and affordable housing or do we want to crush greedy landlords.
Crush them!!

1st Step - Make landlords declare the rents being charged 2nd step - Ban increasing that rent They do this in Ireland by making landlords register tenancies & publish the rent. Tenants can look up the rent and appl for a refund if they were charged more. Failure to register

@RE_MarketWatch 52% is the tax on rental income. They pay stamp duty on the way in, 7% i think, and then 33% cap gains tax on the way out. Rent control tied to the unit, so if you buy a place you can only charge rent 2% above the rate the prior tenant was paying. Forces rent increases yearly
