Being a landlord or a tenant has nothing to do with being right or left wing. To suggest such a thing goes to show how pointless this sort of debate is.

Don't shoot me but I used to be an estate agent for a well known and apparently reputable company As well as sales we did rentals and so I saw first hand how the scams worked. Yes you get some awful landlords and yes you get some equally awful tenants but the biggest evil in property rentals are the agents running full management contracts. I once wrote but never got round to publishing a document aimed at tenants and landlords regarding how their letting agent could and likely would screw them over.
