I might move that along because I have a few other follow-on questions. We have all heard the comments and policies being proposed in regard to a three-year rent freeze. The left-wing Berlin government proposed a five-year rent freeze and within 12 months, not only had that been struck down by the supreme court but it had resulted in a 50% reduction in the number of rental properties available. If the Government were to introduce a three-year rent freeze, would that result in more landlords leaving the market?
