I might conclude on a comment. In my experience, many of the landlords in the constituency would absolutely prefer to sell to their existing tenant. Sometimes they feel they cannot because they feel they may not be able to get the best price. They might be advised they need to get vacant possession to get the best possible price, which might end the relationship with the tenant. The question is how legislation like this affects something like that. Does it create more stability or does it simply create more headaches for people without the benefits? Those are the questions we need to explore.
