Not sure who they used for this survey but it has no reflection on my views or any other landlords that I know. I am seriously exiting the PRS because of unfair taxes and burdens placed upon landlords. Perhaps the 'powers that be' should start to survey happy tenants who have landlords/ladies like @Tricia Urquhart above, my tenants and the countless good, decent and fair landlords.

Perhaps if us private rental sector landlords were treated fairly by HMRC we wouldn't be exiting the market or moving to holiday lets. Or dare I even mention that the 'council leader' who is quoted gets it together and provides council housing...oh no that won't happen because huge amounts of them have been sold at a discount!!

Hilarious! The whole article is purely speculative, full of 'ifs, buts and maybes' and bears no resemblance to the real world. Perhaps the writer could actually do some real life research and talk to happy, satisfied tenants and landlords, the landlords and tenants who have relationships and feelings for each other as human beings. The area I live in has a few corporate landlords now, without exception the rent costs are higher. So, good luck when the PRS has diminished through onerous taxes, legislation and media negativity. Tenants will have no choice but to rent from a corporate. Corporates are businesses who profit to pay their investors, that's how business works.

It's amazing that the powers that be could not see this was going to happen. In 2015 when George Osborne announced the Section 24 tax it was obvious that landlords would not be able to bear the tax imposition without many going bust. Add the latest fiasco into the equation and hey presto...the knock on effect is homelessness caused by an inept Government. The sad part is that a few bad tenants will make good tenants and landlords homeless because the deck of cards topples. When will people, banks, media, know it alls realise that the local councils don't have the stock to house people (that's another story) so they are heavily dependant on the PRS which has grown as a result.

Good work Richard Murphy The ramblings of an idiot who clearly has no knowledge of the real world. So what happens when all of the landlords have their properties repossessed because they're receiving no rent and they're still legally liable for the upkeep of the rental properties and paying the mortgages? They become homeless as do all of their tenants.

Shelter as always give their opinion and little else. Perhaps they could lead by example and actually provide homes for people. Problem solved!

Perhaps they could rent a home off of their local authority, problem solved. Or ruin their credit rating and in turn their ability to rent. Interestingly, when I see this type of post there is never a mention of the consequences. One case consequence could be that a landlord loses their own home, their rental property which may have been their pension and ultimately making a good decent person, the landlord, reliant on the state.

Is it just me or won't this simply encourage the seller to factor in the stamp duty, thereby potentially pushing up property prices. In turn the new inflated price attracting more SDLT. Any thoughts anyone?

It's very strange that the Government are financially penalising landlords from many angles but don't actually have a solution. There are a lot of studio and 1 bed flats for sale in my area, prices coming down and no first time buyers buying them...or landlords now! I believe we're creating a 'must have for nothing' society but the 'must haves' haven't thought about how it's all going to work. A bigger housing problem is being caused by forcing out the PRS.

Absolutely agree with Andrew and Raymond. I believe the fall out of Section 24 will be harmful to tenants Landlords leaving the PRS combined with landlords raising rents to stay in business and pay the taxes (not to make more profit) will create rent rises. As I understand it, Ireland imposed the same tax and tenants suffered the consequences of an ill thought out tax imposition. It's clear that the Government can't supply the housing needed and in fact are still selling off council properties at discounted rates, really doesn't make sense to me.
