While we do not know why we have lost those tenancies, could we surmise that some of those may have been accidental landlords who do not want to be landlords whose properties have returned to the value at which they were purchased, therefore it is natural that they withdraw? Some 86% of landlords own one or two properties. It is not attractive if one is an accidental landlord but there are other incentives for purchasing rental properties. Are we saying that this time next year, with the increased supply that is coming on stream, that we will start to see a decrease in the individuals and families entering into homelessness?
