This isn't just affecting people who are trying to rent out homes. People have had squatters move into their homes while they're trying to sell them. People have returned from vacation to find squatters in their homes. The legal process for getting them out takes months and there's no way to recover the costs you had to incur in the process.

It's crazy. I suspect it's part of the global plan to get people to relinquish property ownership and put regular people off investing in property. The property rental regulation changes in the UK have seen landlords selling at an alarming rate, apparently. Just put "landlords selling up in the uk" into youtube...

I tend to be dismissive of these sorts of globalist conspiracy theories, but communists do always come for landlords early in their revolutions.
What's more likely to me is just that landlords are outnumbered by tenants in most urban areas, so they make easy political scapegoats.
reply
Definitely correct on the political scapegoats. The UK media have been beating up on landlords for many years to the point most people think they are the sperm of the devil.
