Surely if "You will own nothing" and the WEF that very motion is all about you renting and NOT owning so to screw the rental market is the exact opposite of the WEF mantra. Remember that even if you rent something someone has to own it. The market for homes would be better if there were not so many people buying to rent. After all those cheap properties could be purchased by first time buyers if the mortgage market wasn't so mad. Pay more in rent on a sub standard property than you would if you paid the mortgage on it makes absolutely no sense. It is all about capital and those rental companies have the capital to buy beyond what the first timer can and then can charge more than the mortgage price for the rent of it and then do it again and again.

Let's put it this way, you said that landlords provide housing. they provide housing the same way a spiv provides concert tickets... if me and a load of other people all go to a ticket office and buy every ticket for £5 each just because we happen to be fortunate enough to afford it then sell the tickets for £2000 a ticket, would you applaud us for providing those tickets to people who weren't fortunate to get one before we bought them all or couldn't afford them as quickly as we could? No, We'd be called a greedy, exploitative opportunist and the irony is, people don't NEED those tickets but they DO need housing. Even Adam Smith the founder of capitalism stated "Landlords' right has its origin in robbery. The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the Earth" How bad is landlordism when both left AND right sides of politics agree about how unethical it is? It's buying something you don't need (extra housing) and forcing people who DO need it to give you their hard earned money for doing absolutely nothing except being fortunate enough to have more money than them.

​@@user-dc4xy7uk3b Load of tosh but you'll already know that. landlords provide nothing, the construction workers provide the housing by building it, those houses should then go to the people who need them as shelter is essential but they don't, they go to entitled workshy layabouts who sit on passive incomes and use said wealth to buy up more housing and continuously raise rent prices which keeps private renters OUT of the property market and dependant on landlords who constantly complain at how difficult their "job" is while dodging repairs and keeping people living in sub standard and often dangerous properties. Let's put it this way, you said that landlords provide housing. they provide housing the same way a spiv provides concert tickets... if me and a load of other people all go to a ticket office and buy every ticket for £5 each just because we happen to be fortunate enough to afford it then sell the tickets for £2000 a ticket, would you applaud us for providing those tickets to people who weren't fortunate to get one before we bought them all or couldn't afford them as quickly as we could? No, We'd be called a greedy, exploitative opportunist and the irony is, people don't NEED those tickets but they DO need housing. Even Adam Smith the founder of capitalism stated "Landlords' right has its origin in robbery. The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the Earth" How bad is landlordism when both left AND right sides of politics agree about how unethical it is? It's buying something you don't need (extra housing) and forcing people who DO need it to give you their hard earned money for doing absolutely nothing except being fortunate enough to have more money than them. Definition of a parasite : "an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense." and that's exactly what landlords do, they buy up all the housing then make the tenant do all the hard work to pay the mortgage off OR just exploit additional wealth once the mortgage has been paid off. Unethical, parasitic. Landlords do nothing, provide nothing.

[@theresearcher253]

The stock of council houses has fallen. The stock in the private rental sector has fallen due to increased regulation and increased costs. There are already thousands in unsuitable, expensive temporary accommodation. The outcome of this will be that councils will be forced to lease properties from landlords for longer periods in exchange for a fully managed, hands off service. But they don't want to do this for them it's a temporary solution to a permanent problem. Under the current regulations they will never discharge their duty to the household to find them suitable, long term accommodation - meaning that the numbers in stage 2 temporary accommodation will go through the roof.

[@stuartfitch7093]

You are absolutely correct. Landlords will leave the rental sector in droves. Supply will drastically go down which in turn will put an intolerable strain on the ever fewer rental homes that are still left. Many of the people currently renting those houses wouldn't be able to get a mortgage or be in a situation to buy and so will be forced to compete in an ever more overstretched market of rental properties or be made homeless. An example of not being able to buy and being reliant upon the rental market is that of my partner's son and his partner who live near Loughborough. They pay over £1300 per month in rent which means despite them both having good jobs, they can't save a deposit for a house of their own let alone get a mortgage. They are trapped in the rental market. It's a vicious circle that's only going to get worse with these new Labour policies. Policies that don't address the basic problem which is that there simply isn't enough housing of all types. The acceleration of landlords selling up will get even worse once inflation rises with Labour irresponsibly spending and so then interest rates will go up, so mortgage rates will go up so more landlords will sell up. If you want an example of how the rental market in the UK will look in a year from now then just look how it is now across the pond in the US. People will be living at the kerbside in tents.

@@davesmith4248 oh dear! My comment was intended to SUPPORT your position! Obviously my attempt at irony missed its mark. Successive governments have failed to build adequate numbers of houses and now need a scapegoat for their failure. Landlords will do nicely, thanks very much! So much ill will is now directed at those with one or two properties to let that people like Shaun are happy to throw the baby out with the bath water. Because of the new climate you will no longer let a property through the council so that’s one less property available for the council to let. That the Labour government are intent on introducing similar policies to those in Scotland they are going to have the same effect: landlords will flee the sector, available properties will diminish and rents will rise as a consequence. You appear to be a real live example of the stupidity of the government’s policy. I myself have a rental property in London. I’ve had the same tenants since 2006. Yes, 2006! I paid £750 to renew my license at the beginning of the year. These new proposed constraints will guarantee that I will not let this property again but will sell it instead. I no longer have a mortgage so the rent is well below market value. Of course I, like you, am still an awful person. My opinion is that the government wants to get rid of the small landlords. Better to have the sector in the hands of big conglomerates. Much cosier for big government. I just hope that Shaun doesn’t have too much trouble next time he’s looking for a rental property. It might not be so “good”.

Rent controls have been introduced previously to the detriment of the population. Rent control Act 1939 for instance ensured landlords had little / no funds to make repairs / upgrades, thus leading to social deprivation, and eventually during 1980's /90's great swathes of dangerous and insanitary tenements being demolished. Landlords have significant regulatory costs and outlays before bringing a rental property to the market, and invariably pay interest on loans to finance their portfolios. Tenants no longer are obliged to pay their rent. Any landlord who continues in such a business faces potential bankruptcy. There have been many excellent landlords who have overlooked the discrepancies of tenants, who for instance don't ventilate their properties leading to mould, then claim dampness to be prevalent, who will leave the market in droves and invest elsewhere. Homelessness will increase exponentially. Rather than shoot from the hip, politicians should consider the bigger picture and consequences of their policies.

[@davidparry2301]

There’s also one big hole in your argument. You say all these landlords are going to end up selling, well that’s the idea, they give up a rental property and it’s then available for ftb’s ownership and let’s face it, if as many landlords as you say all go to the market at the same time the price of these properties will be competitive due to the large numbers available.
