They will but if the system was designed properly to penalise property hoarders tenants would be unwilling to pay that cost. Eg. why rent off the professional landlord who needs to charge £500/month on top of rent to cover his taxes when you could rent off a couple who've moved abroad for a year and are only taxed at £150/mo?

Owners will just pass all of the 'owner' costs onto the tenants in the form of increased rent.
