We need to be careful that we do not turn off an important increase in supply that is coming through in terms of the build-to-rent sector. We have to recognise the views of experts, including Assistant Professor Ronan Lyons. In other countries, these institutional investors are known as landlords.

For the rental sector here, we need to make sure that we move away from the volatility we had in the past when people were exposed to the individual life choices of their landlord owning only one property and deciding he or she did not want to be a landlord any more-----
