No, but housing associations and landlords should be held more to account for the standard of their properties.

With mortgages going up the landlords need to cover their costs as long as they’re not taking advantage

No - historically this has never worked and always causes the number of available properties to shrink

Bring back rent officers to inspect rental property and check the level of rent being charged is fair

We pay ridiculous rents for years demonstrating ability to pay and yet we are refused mortgages that would cost us a portion of our rent this is unacceptable and should be reviewed if a person has a history of good timely rent payments that should be proof of ability to maintain mortgage payments that are dramatically lower

No, because that causes distortion to the market. But the government should make housing more affordable by relaxing planning restrictions and building social housing

 @9P4S5J7answered…4mos4MO

No as they may raise interest rates and taxes so would reduce the amount of landlords and in turn reduce rentable properties

No one should own more than 1 home therefore landlord should not exist except for social housing
