As much as landlords like to pretend otherwise, they pretty much have all the power when it comes to legislated rights/protections. They just point to the occasional instance of a squatter or someone abusing the system to pretend like they are victims of said system.

Source: am landlord (rent out my old home) and frankly I can do almost whatever I want. I’m before people start shouting at me about rent seeking and all of that, I actually charge probably 20% less than anyone around me and I’m friends with almost all my tenants lol if shit breaks, I fix it. I do not understand why that is so hard for other landlords. But apparently the bar is so low that that makes me exceptional.
