    If we are going to have rent control for tenants maybe we should also have mortgage rate control for landlords. They are directly connected. Rates go up, rents go up.

      What you mean is that parasitic ‘landlords’ want someone else (the renter) to pay their mortgage for them, so at the end they have a free property paid for by the renter - who they then kick out.

      there are two options, Lower rates and much higher house prices,

      You can not have both. it is one or the other.
      Presently, the biggest issue facing the masses is being priced out the markets entirely unable to buy a home at all. to fix that we need higher rates.
      Landlords increasing rents to cover newer rates, is a reflection of those landlords being over debated, should have not bought rental with such large mortgages.
      My rental i own outright. so the rate rises mean nothing to me at all when it comes to prices rents.
      Too many people for years have lapped up the cheap debt, buying homes that were well out of their income ranges, and now face the reality of rate normalisation. landlords with little to no foresight did the same. Let them all fail.

    The claim that introducing regulations and protections for tenants will cause buy-to-let investors to sell off properties, reducing the number of available rentals, is unrealistic. In fact, buy-to-let investors are a major factor driving up property prices, inflating the market, and making housing increasingly unaffordable. If they were to exit the market, it’s likely we would see a cooling of property prices, making homeownership more attainable for tenants who are currently priced out.

    In the early 1980's the private rented sector did not exist because tenants had too many right (Rent Act protected). Mrs Thatcher decided to do something about this and gave power to potential landlords to buy property and rent it out in the knowledge that they could get it back should they want to and charge a market rent. There is a real danger that if you give too many right to tenants will force landlords out of the market and they there on't be any properties to rent.

Can you have a discussion or do you always have to be abusive because your argument is simply unsubstantiated opinion- so what was your experience of the rental market between 1977 1988 - there was no real rental market. The 1988 Housing Act was brought in to create a mobile workforce, not restricted by the illiquidity if the residential ownership market. Between 1977 and 1988 no "normal" person rented theoir house and buy to let was virtually non-existent. If you rented your property the amount of rent you could charge was controlled and you could not get possession. You need to encourage landlords to supply then the market expands. Supply and demand deterimines the rents. If you penalise landlords the supply shrinks and rents increase. If you control rents landlords exit and the rental market shrinks.
