Moreover, private equity and institutional investors are moving into the buy to let market. Its a perfect example of ordinary working people in competition with the rich for limited resources. https://www.estatesgazette.co.uk/legal/the-rise-of-private-equity-in-the-rental-sector/

It’s always the immigrants with Jonny.

The necessity of Awaab’s law included in the Rebters Rights Act is a direct result of the current market and precisely why regulation is necessary.

Who said anything about Catholics?

It’s a rigged market. Definitely not the ‘free market’ some landlords would have us believe.

I think rent controls a a good idea. Doing business with unfit assets is the landlord’s problem, not that of their tenants.

Yes Jonny, improving their assets. As I presume you are a responsible landlord, I’m sure you support the introduction of the renters rights act and I particular the inclusion of ‘Awaab’s Law’ that will remove the incentive unscrupulous landlords have to undercut responsible landlords like yourself by renting out unsafe properties to their tenants. https://www.housing.org.uk/resources/awaabs-law/

What by applying the same building standard to all new built housing regardless of whether for private purchase or buy to let?

I think Christianity hold that distinction .

Note to Americans who are overseas: You’re not in Kansas anymore.

It wasn’t me who introduced the wildly irrelevant 2nd amendment to this thread. look closer to home for the stupid usual nonsense.

So let’s put that to the test: If ‘those [STEM students] aren’t the one’s anyone is talking about’ does the halt to new student visa interviews and social media vetting exclude applicants to STEM program? Or is your claim nobody is talking about those [STEM] students a fabrication of your own misunderstanding of what the Trump administration are doing?

A very odd thing to say in this particular thread. Are we now to expect Trump to demand Americans be afforded the right to bear arms while abroad and sanctions against any Government that denies that ‘right’?

Oh

It’s not an entirely free market. The Renters’ Rights Bill addresses many of the problems of rent rate fixing/gouging. A piece of legislation that, when it comes into force later this year, will positively help millions of working class tenants across the UK. Adding local rent controls to that legislation would be a very effective means to prevent landlords passing the costs of improving their assets on to their tenants.
