Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostRenting is far more common in continental Europe, so as we move to this model, there are some important things we need.
A) we need better rent controls,
B) tenant rights need to be improved (no kids, no pets = no life)
C) longer assured tenancy must be on offer.
I would argue that a lack of the above is a significant driver to buy somewhere instead, so you can have a bit more scrutiny.
But, if none of this come to be, then it really is a tulip situation for the young. Proper exploitation.
I would love to see a big fat tax on landlords, partly to make it less lucrative. But then in today's system, rents would just be raised to compensate.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
