IT IS clear that the "status quo" of exploitation by greedy landlords, caused by the chronic housing shortage is a problem that some wish to be ignored.
The pathetic claim that a "cap" on rental agreements will discourage property investment by landlords, in itself suggests that "greed" will be curtailed to some degree.
An independent estate agent that manages rental properties is suggesting that when interest rates rise, landlords that bought properties to let on mortgages will be faced with higher repayments.
It will certainly follow, in due time that rental charges to tenants will no doubt, yet again, explode.
The "haves" will continue to rub their hands relentlessly.
