Should billionaires and multinationals pay fair tax?

Yes, and you'll tell me that private landlords are buying up what they can in the name of altruism, and the good of society.

Or, are they doing it to enrich themselves at the expense of their tenants?

Utter utter rubbish.

The PRS is not a charitable sector. However the majority of LLs don't look on the delivery of the service as being at the 'expense of' the tenant.

Are there scummy LLs who do? Of course. However that's not reflective of the entire sector.

LLs look to make a bit of profit? How dare they!!! Of course, when a LL is left with a financial outlay e.g. to refurb a property, this should come from their own pocket and nowhere else. There should be no profit!!!

I'm surprised you think that.

Sounds like your understanding of investment is remarkably poor.

 

[diy_fun_uk]

Or do you want no one to be renting at all

They want no private rental sector. Or if it must exist, they want landlords to be making zero profit and to let the property for a a bag of rice per month in return.

How abut this for you

Doesn't say houses shouldn't be an investment.

 

[JohnD]

They

An imaginary concept rattling around inside your head.

 

[denso13]

Here is another one for you

Again, doesn't say houses shouldn't be an investment.

Good grief, which forum are you actually reading. It ain't this one...

You're nuts....

Well it seems to me that is what they are pushing - lets see what they say themselves.

 

[diy_fun_uk]

Nope. You lot are.

Ultimately, we either have a PRS that operates under free market conditions (with appropriate legislation in place to ensure properties are safe, clean and fit for purposes) or we have a PRS that has certain conditions placed on it (through legislation) to limit aspects such as rent charged, profit made etc.

You can't have it both ways.

And for those who advocate a middle ground, what exactly is the middle ground?

No. We advocate the building of thousands...millions of homes so that the bottom falls out of the market and greedy, grasping bloodsucking parasitic, misery inducing Rigsby's are stuck with their depreciating shítholes.

Thank you, we got there in the end

Nobody wants it both ways. More made up nonsense.

There should be more affordable for sale or rent so people can get on the property ladder. That would also regulate the PRS, legislation isn't required.

So you do not want anyone to be renting - is that what you are saying.
