Lots of landlord hate.
I had 3 landlords living in London and all were absolutely fine to deal with, zero issues from us and glowing references from them when moving.
I’m also currently a landlord though not by choice and not for much longer. Someone had a place to live for a year at below market rate at a time when they needed it.
All these ideas to make being a landlord more prohibitive just mean higher rents and less choice for those who want to rent.
The need for rental property isn’t going to disappear overnight and the slack isn’t going to be taken up by councils who are broke.
