Watching Matthew Pennycook's performance in Parliament, the author was struck by two things: landlords are often smeared without consequence, and they were not involved in the creation of the Renters' Rights Bill.
The current system for private renting is broken.
This lack of input means landlords will be subjected to legislation that may harm their businesses. The portrayal of landlords during the bill's journey has been alarming.
The author questions when politicians will listen to landlords, as they seem to be the only group that can be criticized without repercussions.
Author's summary: Politicians ignore landlords' concerns.
