The reason we have the Bill in the first place is that, as a society, we have lost faith in the ability of the landlord class to regulate themselves, yet we continue to trust them on the rent they charge. For tenants to break free of handing a gargantuan proportion of their income to fund the passive income of the landlord class, the death of a grandparent or an early advance on their inheritance might help them out, if they are so lucky. This country has utterly failed a generation—the millennials, if you will—who are now not so young and are the first generation not to be better off than their parents by many metrics. In nothing is that more true than housing.
