Attacking Landlords Won’t Lower Rents

 

 

Fewer Landlords = Higher Rents

The conversation surrounding housing seems to have become increasingly unbalanced. Too often, responsible landlords are portrayed as the problem, while the economic realities of the rental market are ignored. What happens when good landlords leave the sector faster than they are replaced?

The answer is already playing out across many parts of the country:
Less supply.
More competition.
Higher rents.

In this short video, I share why attacking responsible landlords will not solve the affordability crisis, why supply still matters, and why housing policy must be grounded in economic reality rather than slogans and scapegoating.

At some point, common sense has to return to the conversation.
