| Vanessa - history is littered with examples of governments that have tried to control rents and other prices. They have all led to even greater market distortions and corruption. It is a simple case of supply and demand and wishing it were not so is like believing in the "tooth fairy" i.e. just for gullible children. We need to enforce the existing legislations controlling rogue landlords, cap housing benefit (already done!), bring empty properties back into use, refurbish existing properties and build houses and flats for ordinary people where they are needed. |
