They want all social housing sold off and families in the ones they have, shunting those over housed and on benefits into private rented accommodation. They don't have the right to dictate how many private landlords have in their property, as long as the rent is less than the benefit cap then it's fine, the council don't have to fund repairs for private rented accommodation either so won't give a rats ass.
