    FIY, the Minister’s party (Labour) is currently pushing a law to increase tenants’ rights, including preventing this exact situation from happening, which makes the whole situation even more ridiculous and hypocritical.

    Labour’s Renters’ Rights Bill, which will become law next year, prohibits landlords who have ended a tenancy in order to sell a property from relisting it for higher rent until at least six months after tenants have moved out.

      Labour is a deeply unserious party that is trying to revert to Blairism. They want to look like they are doing something, but don’t actually want to change anything.

      It’s also the party who willingly sent hundreds of thousands of disabled people including children into poverty. So not too off brand either.
