So my pension plan is a flat in Acton that I rent out to a lovely couple who work in the now almost totally defunct service industry. I spoke to them a couple of days ago and dropped the rent substantially, the fact is given the base rate news, I may be able to do more now. This isn't great for me but I am in a good place compared to a lot of people on this board. So what's my point?
My point is that the government should be asking all landlords who can to do the same to do exactly that. Not just that but the really big landlords should be leading the charge and making a gesture that others can follow, Prince Charles, The Duke of Westminster, Robbie Fowler whoever. Why is there silence on this issue. We need a high profile landlord to step up and show a lead on this!
