Description
Against Landlords: A Radical New Interpretation of the Housing Crisis The UK's housing crisis is a problem that affects us all, with millions of people living in precarious conditions and facing anxiety about their homes. The crisis is not just a matter of supply and demand, but of the laws that govern the housing market. In his book, lawyer Nick Bano argues that the current system is fundamentally flawed and that reforms are needed to sweep away the landlordism at the heart of the crisis. The problem is not just about building more housing, but about the laws that govern the housing market. Bano explains how the current system has created a situation where one in every twenty-one adults is a landlord, and how this has led to a life of anxiety for the nation's renters. He shows how the Grenfell Tower fire was a direct result of this system, and how it is a problem that stretches far beyond London. Bano's radical new interpretation of the housing crisis offers a fresh perspective on a problem that has been ignored for too long. By understanding the root causes of the crisis, we can start to build a more just and equitable housing system for all.
