Where? Rent controls and many other regulatory measures operate v nicely elsewhere eg Europe, this has all been brought to Labour and they don't really want to hear it. Landlords in the UK are a Dickensian curse on the poor and on our property stock, and MPs owning flats is part of that.

Most of Europe operates far more on rentals than purchases, don’t have rent controls & don’t seem to have the problems we do. Our problems are systemic & more to do with chronic undersupply than landlords existence.

Other places in Europe have much larger stocks of rental housing and social housing.
