I get that we are talking within the context of the rent pressure zones. I refer to somebody who only owns one property and is renting it, which is the case for many accidental landlords. They may have had to move out because of family circumstances and are renting a larger house because they cannot buy. All of us know many of these people. They own one property which they are renting but it might be done on a short-term basis. They would not be affected by this.
