Some of the people Deputy Donnelly has described as accidental landlords are not accidental landlords. Whether it is as a result of a disability, an accident or, in some cases, separation, people find themselves in a similar position. The calculation of the rent being used as a tax has a huge impact on them. I support Deputy Donnelly on this. Many people have just been caught in an unusual circumstance and we should try to do something about it.
