Two Tier System. One rule for the Government another for Landlords

 Well MPs believe that laws should be passed to prevent Landlords from increasing rent when they are forced to comply with the crazy net zero EPC for rental properties.

Rental properties with a score below C will need money spent on them to achieve C.  The current minimum level is E.  The likely investment per property will be circa £30k to elevate a E property to C.

This improvement will save tenants £240 per year.  All that whilst Labour has increased tenant energy bills by £281 since they have been in power and doubtless will increase fuel poverty further in the next 4 years.

So MPs want to make it illegal for Landlords to recover this £30k investment through increased rents.

I personally want to give my tenants the choice.  If they want the improvements then their rent will increase.  If they would rather the rent stays the same then the improvements dont happen.

It make no sense to force me to spend money with a 100 year breakeven.  The government must be confusing me with their own idiotic wasteful squandering of taxpayer-money on  infrastructure investments like HS2.

So surely when the government overspends, their cost of borrowing increases or other financial consequences due to their incompetence  - taxes should not rise to compensate just like rents not being allowed to increase.  

It's the governments problem isnt it? Just like it's the Landlords' problem. No more tax rises to prop up incompetent politicians.

Maybe it's time to pass new laws against the government. 

Two Tier Kier all over.
