Eviction ban has now ended!

With so many landlords now exiting that business because of taxation and legal disincentives, the Irish government's failure to implement a housing policy that reflects the growing population and the urbanisation of Ireland, the chickens are really going to come home to roost over the coming years.

Public dissatisfaction is going to increase rapidly and ambitious politicians will be using this failure to increase their ratings.

The two parties that have totally dominated the Irish political landscape for the last 100 years have truly themselves in the foot on this critical issue; young couples who become homeless or find it impossible to get a foot on the property ladder will be seeking solutions elsewhere, party-wise!

SF are an opposition party. Before the coalition of FF and FG and green gobshites, either of those three would have been saying that exactly same thing to the governing party. It's swings and roundabouts. We need a disruptive party with a complete plan. Unfortunately SF only have half a plan and half a whingey "surely it can be better"

Mary Lou was actually quite clear on this when I heard her talking on RTE radio. One measurement is to change the way we're building houses - first time ever I heard that from an Irish politician and the only way forward. We have to move away from traditionally build houses to modular houses. The latter is more resourceful, cheaper, better in quality and most of all faster.

Nobody is talking about this since its not covered by the eviction ban.

The eviction ban, for those who don't understand it, refers to "no fault evictions" ie where the tenant has done nothing wrong. Failure to pay rent has never been covered and nobody is suggesting it should be.

The idea with the no fault eviction ban was to give the government some breathing space to find some more emergency housing so that people don't get evicted into homelessness. They failed to use this breathing space and now homeless numbers are higher than they were when they brought in the ban.

Again... Non payment of rent is not covered by this ban. Failure to pay rent leaves you open to eviction and always has.

I have been thinking lately on how we got into this homeless mess as a country

60s 70s government were at the forefront of building council estates,local government were the landlord, it seemed over time there was too much work in it, so they outsourced it to the private sector in two ways , through private landlords ordinary people buying or building houses to rent to either make money today or pension funds.And by developers having to handover to government x amount of units on every estate they built, at one time as a nation we built 80000 units a year.So where did it all go wrong in my opinion

Banking crash killed the developers so for 10 years that line dried up. And over regulation and tax by government on private landlords, at the beginning you could have a house rent it out on the side for cash tax free ,property owners won ,low rent for tenants, tenants won ,government not happy ,if you are working now and you have a rental, you pay 52% on tax . Then came the prtb more regulation, no alone that but if you had bought your first house in a town and then you wanted to build your forever home on your family land ,planning permission problems, set rent prices the government telling people when and who they can sell their house to ,the government didn't want the hassle so the handed it over to the people and they bought houses in the droves ,but then the government started enforcing the same rules they didn't want to deal with in the first place and the people are now running a mile, simple economics, people will invest in anything they can make a profit in bit it's over regulated now and not enough money to be made ,and before you start with rents are through the roof just look at who gets the lions share of that rent

Rental market is totally fucked

Read yesterday that a small estate in co Mayo of 12 houses had 8 sale agreed

They all got emails to say sales cancelled and the builder had sold the 12 houses to one buyer

So 12 houses to rent instead of 12 homes

I drive past a build of 475 apartments every day

Not finished yet but renters already in some blocks

1900 for a one bedroom a month to rent instead of people owning their own homes

How the hell my kids are meant to buy I'll never know

How do you fix it

Either the government needs to start building 1000s of houses like they did back in the 60s and 70s but that does have its own problems , you can create ghettos, we all know these housing estates in all the big towns and cities in the country ,where there is anti social behaviour and lawlessness

Or

A huge change in the way you tax small landlords, I have no problem with tenants having good solid rights but you can't have situations where people can go months and years without paying rent and get away with it ,that is why Airbnb became so popular, people came in on a Friday left Sunday the money was in your bank and if they recked the place you had their credit card details.

The Wild West

The bigger picture here is the two tier way in which "landlords" and i hate that word btw are treated from a taxation point of view.

If you are a small operator the tax paid on rental income is outrageous and legitimate expenses are quiet often not allowed as tax deductibles

Meanwhile the bigger outfits who can set up companies and corporations enjoy the corporate tax rate with proper allowances for expenses etc.

In addition - the bigger outfits will always find a way around eviction bans etc

It appears to me that FFG have no interest in the small operator and waited for 1000s of them to leave before all of a sudden giving a hoot now...

Its all smoke and mirrors to further aid the big outfits.

I feel sorry for small landlords who often offer a far better level of service to good tenants

And I also feel sorry for good tenants who are about to be turfed out for profit driven big organisations.

We need a massive dose of cop on and wake up in this country to get supply properly going.

We will not get that with ANY of the current crop in the Dail

"

In relation to the first part of that... We need to change our relationship with social housing. We need a much much greater supply of public housing that is let to not only the people at the bottom of the ladder, but also to people who would rather just rent housing instead of buying. The state/local authorities basically need to become a landlord.

Obviously the people at the bottom of the ladder need to be housed to prevent them falling into homelessness but once that emergency situation is resolved, then we need to be much more ambitious and get away from the current boom/bust cycles that create so much inequality.

The housing crisis is so multifaceted and there's no sign of the government tackling any of the broader issues such as:

We're left with 3 banks. There's no competion, banks not lending to the 'little people'. There's people out there paying rent two to three times a mortgage rate yet won't get a mortgage.

Investors building/buying/selling under the REIT scheme don't pay any tax on rental income or capital gains tax. It has to go!

There should be a governmental intervention that coockoo funds can't buy up whole estates. They're driving up house prices and rents.

As owning a house is part of Ireland's pension scheme, we're going to hit another problem further down the road, namely an increased percentage of people who are renting when reaching pension age. It will cost the state a fortune to keep them in accommodation.

And if anyone can explain to me why the bulk of rental properties come furnished, please let me know.

Capitalism again without a conscience how shocking

We externalize far too much on the governments and officials. And for centuries we have given out about them and never expected them to solve the problem would still always blame them. It's going to take people to help people. What we need are contractors with conscience who will not build a 1000 homes for rent knowing that it only profits for them, Instead we need Contractors who genuinely care about the country they're working and the people and the neighbors and the friends around them and who will build homes to sell to them knowing that they will make money just not as much as if they rented. We need the kind of people in Ireland who are OK with that because it's the right thing to do. F*** governments governments are capitalists. This is a social issue and it would take socially conscious people to address it. It's never going to be fixed by capitalists who view everything in a monetary value only. How much suffering are humans willing to turn a blind eye to so they're own life is better before they're realized it's not the right thing to do? A genuinely tink we are facing in to a decade where capitalism has its last chance to Work in the social interest of everybody, or face a global revolution driven by a disparate hungery and angry population.

They may not be making a profit when you consider the rental as merely income. They are accumulating an asset over time though. If the rent covers even 50% of the mortgage, and over the course of a mortgage it's most likely to be substantially higher than that, they are then gaining an asset for 50% of its value.

I'm not sure what point you're making.

€75 per week is €300 per month which is €3600 per annum. That plus the actual asset is a tidy sum over 25 years. Also, given that the mortgage payments will reduce over time and the rent will most likely go up, that's an even bigger differential.

Being a landlord is a gamble. It always has been due to our propensity for boom/bust cycles. Nobody should gamble money they can't afford to lose.

As regards bad tenants, that has nothing to do with this temporary eviction van as that situation isn't covered by it.

For €75 a week you would be better off doing overtime on a Saturday, why would you think mortgage rates would come down over the next 25 years they will go up and down but on average stay the same , the point you don't seem to be getting is ,if people want to rent properties you need landlords, if there is not enough of an incentive for people to invest then the house simple won't be built, the point I'm making about bad tenants is once they stop paying they should be out , even if they extend the ban it was only for 6 months that was never going to fix the problem, what in your opinion would help the situation

€75 per week is €300 per month which is €3600 per annum. That plus the actual asset is a tidy sum over 25 years. Also, given that the mortgage payments will reduce over time and the rent will most likely go up, that's an even bigger differential.

Being a landlord is a gamble. It always has been due to our propensity for boom/bust cycles. Nobody should gamble money they can't afford to lose.

As regards bad tenants, that has nothing to do with this temporary eviction van as that situation isn't covered by it.

For €75 a week you would be better off doing overtime on a Saturday, why would you think mortgage rates would come down over the next 25 years they will go up and down but on average stay the same , the point you don't seem to be getting is ,if people want to rent properties you need landlords, if there is not enough of an incentive for people to invest then the house simple won't be built, the point I'm making about bad tenants is once they stop paying they should be out , even if they extend the ban it was only for 6 months that was never going to fix the problem, what in your opinion would help the situation "

Firstly... Mortgage payments, not rates. Payments on a normal mortgage reduce over time. Factor in inflation and by the end of a normal mortgage they are very much reduced.

Secondly, yes, we need landlords but not ones who are trying to make a quick buck. Professional landlords factor in the value of the asset when accounting for profit. You are simply saying that you're only making €75 profit and ignoring the fact that you have someone buying you a large asset and giving you €75 per week on top of that.

Thirdly... Do I have to say it again? I've already said it three times in this thread and I'm starting to wonder if you're deliberately misrepresenting what the temporary NO FAULT eviction ban meant. Bad tenants can be evicted at any time and have not been protected by the temporary NO FAULT eviction ban.

As for what I think would alleviate the problem, well that's up above as well. Suffice it to say that it's not going to be fixed overnight. It's also not going to be fixed by the current method of letting the market sort it out.

"Modular homes is one solution in some cases it takes 8 weeks

Why haven’t they been looked at "

When the government brought in the temporary eviction ban, the housing minister said he'd have 500 modular homes ready to move into by the end of 2022. He then upped it to 700. None of them are ready yet.

Newry Down

In continental Europe, the renting of homes is more common but rents are not of the extortionate levels to be seen in Ireland.

The current problem is a shortage, a lack of supply driving up rents to a ridiculous level that will have significant political consequences for the ruling parties who have not built enough social housing for decades, and have crucified landlords with punitive taxes and legislative obligations.

Happy and settled occupier of homes is critical to a stable society. FF and FG are going to feel the wrath of the electorate at the next elections.

Mercifully, I do not have to rent a home, but I really feel for singles, couples and families who have to pay a significant portion of their after tax income for accommodation.

"Great I can finally get rid of those hap free loaders from my apartment

On a side note if communists sinn féin get into government we can kiss good bye to private property, they will decide who lives who doesn't in your property, sad thing is the electorate will vote for them in their droves, the end of home ownership is near "

I have sympathy for accidental landlords, no sympathy for people who bought properties (mostly apartments with the huge tax break, buy to rent schemes), and thinking i'll use this as my retirement fund, multi property ownership as a cash source should not be seen as the way forward. The government's over the last 30plus years have ground social housing to a halt, with deals like I mentioned above and huge tax breaks for developers and hubge/vulture funds, while allowing the banks to right off the bad loans we the tax payer covered and transfered to nama. So banks making huge profits csn then right that off against the tax payer covered losses? A neighbour off mine was left two properties and gouged the tenants, over stretched himself buying 3 more, lost all 5 and still blamed the renters

"What about someone who invested in property rented it out hasn’t received rent in few months but still has to pay mortgage on the property

Exactly this The owner of the property has bought it. Has it rented out and the tenants failed to pay any rent thank god the bill was shot down.

Maybe its karma for excessively profiting of people's despair

Hilarious.

Most single landlords are not making any profit. They are actually losing money. A huge amount are pre celtic tigers owners who got shafted and only just out of negative equity."

If we just take the point you're trying to make even though we all know more small landlords have more than one extra property those are making a profit. In your example that landlord is still having the mortgage on a second property being paid for them and if not in full being almost paid for them so they are Profiting in a way that most people can't

Worth noting too that some people chose not to buy or build well outside of their means just because we were in a Celtic boom others chose to go the opposite direction that's a choice. With all the choices the consequences are of your own making

They may not be making a profit when you consider the rental as merely income. They are accumulating an asset over time though. If the rent covers even 50% of the mortgage, and over the course of a mortgage it's most likely to be substantially higher than that, they are then gaining an asset for 50% of its value.

And when you sell that asset you will pay another 33% in tax ,we have looked into buying a second property to rent over the past 6 months and when you do all the maths, we would make in this market of high rent €75 a week profit the government would be taking over €100 a week in taxes and the banks would be making on the mortgage, we would be taking all the risk and work and there just isn't enough reward, its ok saying you will have a property to sell at the end of it All but that is 25 years down the line, all you need is 1 bad tenant to sink the whole ship on you, now if the tax was dropped to 24 or 26% Italy be worth while ,"

And that has zero relevance to the eviction ban we're talking about here. "

Eviction ban means a landlord cannot evict a tenant if he/she is paying rent, Point im making is it doesn't matter if the ban is in place or not to some tenants who chose not to pay rent and nothing can be done about it

"What about someone who invested in property rented it out hasn’t received rent in few months but still has to pay mortgage on the property

Exactly this The owner of the property has bought it. Has it rented out and the tenants failed to pay any rent thank god the bill was shot down.

Maybe its karma for excessively profiting of people's despair

Hilarious.

Most single landlords are not making any profit. They are actually losing money. A huge amount are pre celtic tigers owners who got shafted and only just out of negative equity.

They may not be making a profit when you consider the rental as merely income. They are accumulating an asset over time though. If the rent covers even 50% of the mortgage, and over the course of a mortgage it's most likely to be substantially higher than that, they are then gaining an asset for 50% of its value.

And when you sell that asset you will pay another 33% in tax ,we have looked into buying a second property to rent over the past 6 months and when you do all the maths, we would make in this market of high rent €75 a week profit the government would be taking over €100 a week in taxes and the banks would be making on the mortgage, we would be taking all the risk and work and there just isn't enough reward, its ok saying you will have a property to sell at the end of it All but that is 25 years down the line, all you need is 1 bad tenant to sink the whole ship on you, now if the tax was dropped to 24 or 26% Italy be worth while ,

I'm not sure what point you're making.

€75 per week is €300 per month which is €3600 per annum. That plus the actual asset is a tidy sum over 25 years. Also, given that the mortgage payments will reduce over time and the rent will most likely go up, that's an even bigger differential.

Being a landlord is a gamble. It always has been due to our propensity for boom/bust cycles. Nobody should gamble money they can't afford to lose.

As regards bad tenants, that has nothing to do with this temporary eviction van as that situation isn't covered by it.

For €75 a week you would be better off doing overtime on a Saturday, why would you think mortgage rates would come down over the next 25 years they will go up and down but on average stay the same , the point you don't seem to be getting is ,if people want to rent properties you need landlords, if there is not enough of an incentive for people to invest then the house simple won't be built, the point I'm making about bad tenants is once they stop paying they should be out , even if they extend the ban it was only for 6 months that was never going to fix the problem, what in your opinion would help the situation It's not 4 €75 a week it's for €75 on top of your mortgage being paid

You need to go and tell him his calculations are wrong then since it was him came up with the €75 per week figure.

If his mortgage was paid off do you think he would want to rent his property for €75 a week?

I'd want to be getting that for a day not a week "

I presume that's a joke?

Do you mean that once his mortgage is paid that he'd reduce the rent so that he only gets €75? Why would he do that.

I'm not sure if you're confused or if you're deliberately trying to confuse others but those two things aren't the same.

Start a thread about that then. That's not the same thing as this eviction ban that ends on April 1st.

Firstly... Mortgage payments, not rates. Payments on a normal mortgage reduce over time. Factor in inflation and by the end of a normal mortgage they are very much reduced.

Secondly, yes, we need landlords but not ones who are trying to make a quick buck. Professional landlords factor in the value of the asset when accounting for profit. You are simply saying that you're only making €75 profit and ignoring the fact that you have someone buying you a large asset and giving you €75 per week on top of that.

Thirdly... Do I have to say it again? I've already said it three times in this thread and I'm starting to wonder if you're deliberately misrepresenting what the temporary NO FAULT eviction ban meant. Bad tenants can be evicted at any time and have not been protected by the temporary NO FAULT eviction ban.

As for what I think would alleviate the problem, well that's up above as well. Suffice it to say that it's not going to be fixed overnight. It's also not going to be fixed by the current method of letting the market sort it out. "

McCarthy is spot on as usual. I've a friend he's renting out his bachelor flat. Keeps the rent at the lower end which in return keeps the tenant in and paying and reduces the amount of tax having to pay. It covers mortgage and management fee. He was several times close to selling because of the hassle that comes with it, but I advised him against it. By retirement age he'll have a mortgage free asset that pays him a pension per month when he keeps renting it out.

This is something we are hearing very little about. There have been people who have taken total advantage of the eviction ban and refused to pay rent for a very long time. If each case was dealt with in accordance to their situation we would have a very different outlook to this. Blame those who yet again sponge and take advantage of the system. They make everything harder on the honest decent people in this country who end up paying the price.

In my view, it is unconscionable that the government hasn't used the time they had during the no fault eviction ban to rethink housing and get modular social housing built. Successive governments have failed us, particularly when it comes to health and housing. Money is being squandered and there is a lack of long-term thinking.

I know that there are lots of lovely, kind landlords/landladies(hate both terms) but, if ever I was in a position to own a second home to rent out, I think I would prefer not to be. Because, at the end of the day, we are talking about right to shelter against a financial investment, so an individual's interest is always going to differ, depending on where they lie.

You do realise that isn't what the other poster said, don't you?

Compulsory purchase has been on the legislative books for decades.

Do you want to address what was actually said or do you just want to try and confuse things by stating something completely different and then try to claim it's somehow the same thing?

As to what you said, SF have indeed mentioned the idea of considering CPOing long term vacant housing by local authorities. FG have talked about this as well and were considering either CPOs or vacant property taxes. Housing groups and social campaigners, as well as other political parties have also suggested it.

What is actually being suggested at the moment is that if a Landlord wants to evict tenants in order to sell the house, 1st buyer opportunity should be given to the local authority in order to rent the house back to the current occupants following purchase. You think this is bad ?

This what communists sinn féin are proposing, compulsory purchase orders of property then to be given to who ever they want, this is no joke this is what they are planning if they get into government

What is actually being suggested at the moment is that if a Landlord wants to evict tenants in order to sell the house, 1st buyer opportunity should be given to the local authority in order to rent the house back to the current occupants following purchase. You think this is bad ?

If they are not in a position to buy the house themselves I think it’s a great option "

Sorry I should have said what's being proposed is that if the renters can't get a mortgage to buy the house and the councils should be given 1st offer.... Unfortunately I don't think it's going to be passed as I feel the reason behind thisvision ban removal being rushed it's because the council knows we are on the cost of a massive economical crash and they don't want to have to deal with the problem of renters who can't pay their rent because they've lost their jobs and landlords at the same time. I know that's a bit doomsday but I honestly think that's what's going on

"Unfortunately lots of people want your property taken from you and given to someone else, free of charge and leave you with the mortgage, property tax etc...... its basically looting....

SF don't care about your situation one bit..... lots of accidental landlords due to inheritance or marriage/partnership leading to double property ownership.

Absolutely shocking.

But if there is a crash and it’s looking ever more likely if the council or government are the owners of more property

Surely people will have a better chance of staying in their homes rather than a landlord saying right f that I have to sell two to get through this crash

You and you are out where as the council or government would have to renegotiate the rent I hope I’m on the same wavelength haven’t read through the whole thread

The homeless is one thing but what about the landlord? Have they any say? It's their property so they should really be able to do what they like with it. They shouldn't be held ransom for the government's failures. Many suffered hugely already with the crash 15 years ago or so. They don't want to be caught again and have every right to sell if and when they want.

Noone should be allowed do whatever they want with property... this leads to slums and rent bubbles ... landlords are protected too ... they can evict tenants at fault ... they can still sell if they want ... they now even have a government willing to buy ... tbf landlords have it pretty good ! We are also in a housing crisis in a war in a global crash . For people to think we can carry on regardless of these situations as we always did isn't going to cut it , landlords included!

In terms of the iviction being lifted in such a shifty manner . I think the government may have realized that they will not get this sorted before a crash and that will mean we are responsible for all the landlords and tenants who are fucked because of job losses. If they lift the eviction then when shit hits the fan they can say there not responsible for the job losses and landlords are responsible for the evictions !

I think we're seeing an exit strategy for the government from the situation. Again I hope I'm wrong .

One can cash in on a financial investment when and if they choose to do so. It's their investment, their money, their business. They should be able to do the very same with a house or any other property or any other asset. Not as if the government or banks will compensate you a year or two down the line for any losses.

The rental market is completely screwed up and made worse by government supports. Massive industrial sized leasing companies owning thousands of properties that are being paid for with tax money.

Cut government rent supports to all but the MOST needy and see what happens. These companies then have two choices, keep charging massive rent that goes unpaid or... Reduce the rents charged. It will never happen but might work.

I think the point is gov supports are artificially supporting massive rents. Without them landlords have a choice, keep charging huge rates and end up with empty properties or reduce their rents.

There's hundreds of empty apartments in Dublin that companies are unable to rent out due to the rent that they are trying to charge

The companies are worth a multiple of the average rent

So its worth their while to keep them empty rather than reduce the average rent per block

They need to keep their values high to pay a lower rate on their borrowings

When I last lived and worked in greater Dublin, a very long time ago, I negotiated with my boss that I would be supplied with a room foc in the building where I worked; it was basic but adequate.

It is shocking to see the current cost of a room in Dublin, and the phenomenal demand for anything at all

This is a failure on an unprecedented scale by the legislators, and providers of social housing.

No it wouldn’t

Can’t blame the small landlord s exiting the market - screwed by tax. Gas you can take in lodgers rent a room and that income is tax free up to €14000

But a small landlord has to pay tax on any income

Prices on house s are high so sell can in and again pay tax. If you could sell and make a few quid and stick that off your own mortgage why not

The Republic of Ireland's housing policies lack any semblance of coherence in terms of the demand for social housing especially in urban areas, the total housing stock available especially at entry level and the taxation regime and regulatory framework for small landlords.

"How do you fix it

Either the government needs to start building 1000s of houses like they did back in the 60s and 70s but that does have its own problems , you can create ghettos, we all know these housing estates in all the big towns and cities in the country ,where there is anti social behaviour and lawlessness

Or

A huge change in the way you tax small landlords, I have no problem with tenants having good solid rights but you can't have situations where people can go months and years without paying rent and get away with it ,that is why Airbnb became so popular, people came in on a Friday left Sunday the money was in your bank and if they recked the place you had their credit card details.

I got my notice a few weeks before before the eviction ban was in place. In 6 weeks my time I will have to leave this house after living here for nearly 9 years with no place nailed down.

Never missed a month's rent and keep this house a lovely home.

I have applied to over 200 adds of places within my price range but its impossible to complete with the amount of people who also need accommodation.

The price of accommodation is going up so high with no sign of it stopping.

Alot of hard working people are/will be having many a sleepless night with the stress of finding a safe place to live.

I don't blame owners selling up either BTW.

If you're an accidental landlord of course youre going to sell now at what many people think is the top of the market and before there's probably an SF led government

You might have bought just before the last crash and the property is now worth more than you paid but you still have a huge tax bill when its sold

If you offer it to the local council then you have to get them to match the highest price you're offered on the open market but then you could be screwing a first time buyer out of the market

Its a lot more complicated than landlord bad .....tennent good

The recent ending of the 'no fault' eviction ban has caused a watershed in Irish politics to be precipitated more rapidly.

The term 'eviction' evokes deep-seated emotions in the Irish psyche, with its reasonances of colonial landlords resident outside the state, whose principle objective is the maximisation of rental income, no matter what the real cost to their tenant.

Housing will always be a complex issue; the state needs to build and manage social housing on a large scale to cater for demand at the lowest end of the spectrum, in the first instance.

The typical Irish attitude of ah sure it'll be grand isn't working anymore, it won't be grand, for 20 years Ireland has seen an influx of immigrants to out shores not to mention our own Irish multiplying, basic maths shouldn't be so difficult to figure out, they need to build up up and up, multistory high rise apartment blocks the likes of what is seen in Europe, this is how you sustain a high polulation, the ban on 26 story floor and more dwellings in Dublin should be abolished, Ireland needs to go to any major European city and look at apartment blocks of 100 story's and more, thing big and get results

I do, too. I feel for all those who have been served with a notice, with nowhere to go. I also know so many people choosing to leave Ireland, as they have had enough. I feel both sad and angry every time I think of our housing and healthcare systems. So much of what has come to pass was avoidable.

Govt aren't only ones to blame here, central bank & banks must share some of blame.

If a builder is borrowing money from banks, he must prove & have signed contracts stating that % of houses are sold (% depends on how big loan is & size of development is)

If I am builder, why would I bother to advertise & sell houses individually, waiting on individuals to sign contracts at various times etc. When I can save time, hassle & money, by selling all houses to a vulture fund

The eviction ban won't have any effect on the number of houses available. Those properties where the tenants who are turfed out will be made available for other families who are looking for a house to buy, or for another landlord to purchase. The total number of properties remains the same. The price may will change, but that's the free market.

If the price asked by the new landlord is too high then he won't be able to rent it out and will need to reduce it. If the price he tried to sell it for is too high then he won't be able to sell it. The owners of these properties aren't at fault. In many cases they are businesses with an obligation to maximise shareholders value. It's capitalism and the free market to blame.
