We need landlords and the private rental sector. By reducing incentive, you run the risk of reduced supply when there’s already not enough. Also, considering a lot of social housing is supplied through private landlords, where are the people who can’t afford a deposit going to stay? I agree that rents in some areas are ridiculous but when you look at the yield on these properties, you start to understand why it is the way it is. And another possibility being house prices come down. Sounds great
