RLA calling for government to ensure incentives are provided to all of the private rental sector
In their latest news release published today by the Residential Landlords Association (RLA) they claim that efforts to reform and boost the supply of homes for private rent in the Housing White Paper will achieve little without backing those individuals making up the majority of the country’s landlords. The RLA are calling for government to ensure incentives are provided to all of the private rental sector, this extends to encouraging smaller private landlords and supporting them to expand their investment to provide the extra housing urgently required.
RLA Chairman, Alan Ward said: “Whilst we welcome efforts to boost the supply of homes to rent, this will not be achieved through a single minded focus on corporate investment.
“The very fact that a renewed push is being made for such investment is a sign that previous efforts have failed.
“Any plan for the rental sector that does not provide equal support and encouragement for the vast majority of individuals making up the country’s landlord population is doomed to failure.
“Instead the Government should look again at the tax rises imposed by the previous Chancellor on landlords which will only act as a disincentive for the hundreds of thousands of smaller landlords to get more properties on the rental market.”
