Private landlords provide a vital service for people looking for housing, and that is why the government is wrong to persecute those who invest in the buy-to-let sector, according to haart.
A growing number of people are opting to rent as a lifestyle option, with most tenants satisfied with their existing landlord, which is why the lettings and estate agent is baffled as to why landlords often demonised by politicians, including the Treasury.
“Private landlords are providing a vital service for people looking for housing, yet the job they are doing is massively underappreciated,” said Paul Sloan, development director for haart. “Renting is regularly portrayed as a wholly negative option that people can’t wait to escape from.”
