So the landlord what, eats all of the downside in that scenario? But I'm sure you'd also restrict their ability to raise rents on other tenants (if they have multiple units) to compensate, so why would the landlord even do this to begin with? It's potentially 100% downside and restricted upside.
Yep. You got it in one. Private landlords are a part of the problem. They have every incentive to prevent new housing from being built. It should be challenging to be better at providing housing than the municipality government.
Exactly. Landlords aren’t entitled to a good business. If you diligently maintain the home you rent out AND pay income tax, it’s not a great business now. The profits are in neglect and appreciation.
