Re: @Phil O'Sophical - @The Axe - The reality
There is a difference between charging a fair rent and charging all the traffic will bear,
You persist in using the word "fair". Please be honest, what you mean is "low". It isn't a fair rent as far as the landlord is concerned, merely one that is beneficial to a tenant, which suggests that you're uninterested in actually being "fair" since that would imply equal treatment.
puts people in a position where they have to choose between eating, heating and keeping a roof over their heads.
Helping such people is the responsibility of government-provided social housing, not private landlords. One way to help, of course, is to make it easier for such people to move to accommodation more suited to their needs. If they insist on consuming more accommodation than they need, and cannot afford to pay for it, why should they expect taxpayer help to do so?
