We need some social housing, but the reality is that it's expensive to build and run, so governments are glad to have private landlords.

Also remember that the idea that the rental market is all lower end is very much mistaken. There is everything from one bed flats in inexpensive areas to manor houses in the home counties in the rental sector.

Exactly, we need more social housing but governments prefer to use private LLs and pay the rents of low income families in the form of housing benefit which pushes up and holds up rents and property prices

Will rents go up or down now that landlords are leaving the agents in droves and renting direct to the tenants
