EPC C rating or letting ban?

Hi, I read that Ed Miliband announced that if a C energy rating is not achieved by 2030 then the landlord will be banned from letting it out.
Does anyone else see an opportunity to buy a D or below rated BTL with long standing tenants and then wait until the government kicks them out?
I guess the counter for this would be to fine landlords for not completing the work. If landlords cannot afford the work then I guess there will be a new reason for evicting tenants. “I’m sorry I have to sell the property because I can’t afford the energy rating work, let alone potential fine and I need to sell the property.”
Another ill thought through policy by the politicians.
Thanks,
Mark
