Had a landlord that never raised the rent in 10 years, was flexible about late payments when I had difficulties paying and then cancelled some of the debt when I was struggling, they fixed anything and everything I ever reported to them. They're not all bad, I know they were profiting from me but they were compassionate whilst providing a good and necessary service.

Problem: lack of affordable housing to rent or buy. Solution: shame landlords. Really, is that making sense to anyone? Surely we want a massive social housing build with rents set locally related to local average income. We need a gradual increase in tax on second homes to discourage holiday homes, Airbnb and private sector rentals to make local houses to own/live in more affordable. We need to increase rates on higher value properties to encourage downsizing and release larger properties for families. We need stronger legislation, more enforcement and higher penalties for substandard accommodation. We need to avoid emotional triggering, focus on a realistic improvement to the housing crisis, understanding that it will be a step change and not overnight but a clear direction of travel. Also need to avoid a property price crash which would devastate the economy, severe recession, massive job losses, etc. Its not a simple problem and it can't be fixed with a simplistic solution.

There is (in my area at least) nearly an entire generation of landlords and they are starting to tell stories about having to "deal with" more and more people who fail to pay the rent.
Proud of how they got their sons/mates and went round to sort this out and made the tenant pay. As if they had the cash all along.
I ask them what are they going to do when the tenants loan runs out, what will they do?
The idea that people would have to take out loans to pay for rent just bounces off their tiny minds.
Surely the tenants were just trying to get one over on them, they work so they must be able to afford to pay.
The Daily Mail warned them about scroungers so that's what is happenings, surely charging more than the mortgage on the house is affordable for people who work. Right?
Sure they have turfed out a couple of families but there is always somewhere else to go.
Just no thoughts, no empathy.

What a board paint brush you use! There are so many accidental landlords. Those who let out half their house as their kids have left. Those who were always told "bricks and mortar" and saved pennies to get a place. There are crap landlords and crap tenants. There is a housing stock that is poorer without landlords and there is a housing stock worse off because of some landlords. This interview is simplistic.....
