Landlord Crusader

Landlord Crusader is an anonymous guest column written by a seasoned landlord who prefers to let the arguments speak for themselves. Each instalment offers a candid take on the week’s headlines, policy ideas and market moves that shape the private rented sector. Expect plain-English opinion, myth-busting and a readiness to challenge politicians, commentators and lenders when claims do not stack up. The focus is practical impact, what proposals will cost, who pays, likely unintended consequences for tenants, and how responsible landlords can respond. Where helpful, the column links to primary sources and earlier Property118 coverage so you can explore the detail. It is not formal advice, it is a clear voice in a noisy debate, and a prompt for readers to think, question and share experience in the comments. If you want forthright, well-informed commentary without spin, start here.
