Because that seems to be the attitude

Trust me regardless of whether or not they got low interest rates 5 years ago, very few landlords have been raking it in over recent years. Buy to let mortgages are nearly all interest only anyway.

The big institutional landlords may be making decent money but most smaller landlords are only just covering their costs if indeed they are. Most are trying to sell but can't because the market is completely gone.

Its a massive cl**terf**k all round. Some reform is justified to stop rogue landlords abusing the system but fundamentally this government does not understand economics, business or how property works and thus the likely consequences of their legislation/policies because they are blinded by hatred for people who have the temerity to own stuff.
