At a time when there is a waiting list for state houses of over 10,000 people, you would think that the Government would be attempting all it could to resolve this issue. To be fair, it has initiated some practical measures that should help landlords to provide good accommodation. However they are also looking into measures that could drive private suppliers of rental property out of the market. There is also the question of whether in fact the 10,000 waiting list is a true indication that there is a shortage of rental property at all.
