78% of the UK supports rent controls. But why control a scam when you can abolish it?

People should think bigger on housing then rent controls. The Green Party has it right: the entire concept of rent is a con.

The requirement for "balance" in this Beeb piece about possible rent controls in Scotland ends up sounding quite uncritically pro landlord to me and fails to expand all the possible options. #news #RentControls #Scotland #UK

The plan to make landlords potentially pay National Insurance on rental income is long overdue. While it’s right that landlords contribute their fair share, average rents in Northern Ireland have soared by 45% in the past decade. This extra cost must not be passed onto tenants who are already struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Tax fairness cannot come at the expense of affordable homes.
