You guys have to provide a bank report now to get a flat? Talk about intrusive.

Various tenent/landlord laws make it a real pain in the ass to evict a tenent (as it should be for most cases). Property owners respond by heavily vetting prospective tenents and want to make sure that rent will not be delinquent (i dont blame them tbh).

The solution of course, is more high density low cost housing. But thats not what capitalism wants ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Why go for small margins selling homes to people that actually want to live in them rather than get a big return selling to speculator/landlords?
