What happens when the Govt. Under Secretary for Homelessness & Rough Sleeping is herself a landlord?

Well, the answer is she continues to act as a Landlord; serving notice on tenants that a lease would not be renewed so that the rent could be raised & the property re-listed.... now this is not an uncommon tactic, but its also what is stoking rent inflation (and therefore indirectly homelessness).

The problem with our political class in a nutshell; hypocrisy!

I imagine it's all at arms length through managing agents and terms like 'optimising the return on the property portfolio' which, in itself, is an accusation of at least hypocrisy if not direct corruption.
