Tenants are in a tight spot: ‘If you’re safe in your owner-occupied home, you don’t notice what’s going on’ | living

“Yes, it is disastrous. As a result of the landlord levy, the government has taken away so much money from housing associations that hardly anything has been built in recent years.

With that kind of money, tenants are a slave to their landlord.”
