There are more and more lunatic left wing groups springing up, that it is obviously unwise for government to put landlords details in public view. They are effectively creating a "hit list" for deranged people who hate the wealthy, and...

Unless............they were already getting council tax relief (like if they were on some benefit or other) That wont be passed on to the landlord, so he will have to add the cost to the rent, meaning poor tenants will lose...

Landlords pay an estimated £95 BILLION in tax in the UK each year. I take it the government has never heard of the "killing the goose that lays the golden egg" story?
Yes, and we have radical socialist organisations in NI, like "People before Profit"......who hate landlords, and actively campaign against us. The database here has the name and address of every landlord (not tenants) and is available online. Its not good....

The only way to exert pressure on rent inflation, is to increase supply. I learned that first week of O level economics! Like lots of landlords, I am reducing supply for renters (2 properties gone, 2 to go). Some lefty...
