What do you think of the big housing corporations/landlords?
Honestly, I think the rental sector it is best controlled and run by professional business.
They would be easier to regulate and be able to have the infrastructure to provide a decent level of service. They would also be more likely to have the capital and stability to move towards longer, stronger leases. They could use their economies of scale to weather lower profit margins on each property.
God forbid the state could even set up a competitive equivalent using its epic monopoly of scale.

Here in NI we have housing not for profit co-ops [so sorta your company structure but not with as much £££ behind it as some commercial developments] or the Northern Ireland Housing Executive [government owned, so it is run into the ground of course...sigh...]
I see what you mean about regulation/capital etc.
But it also seems to me that a lot of the time the capital and clout is used to make an easy profit/lobby for lowering regulations/making it about paperwork which THEY can fill out but it is hundreds of pages of legalize none of us will understand.And the "small" landlord cannot compete against big companies either (it seems to me).

I suspect they push out the "little" ones as well. Could be wrong.
