Background
Landlords use the phrase "it's a business not a charity" while looking for the next best opportunity to increase the rent.
If action isn't taken to prevent landlords continued abuse of power, it will result in utter catastrophic widespread social unrest, protests, riots, vandalism, arson, and worse.
The British government needs to provide safe, affordable housing for the British people and prevent landlords from purchasing property to be used for taking advantage of the poor and working class.
