There aren't enough

there is currently an "oversupply"

For investment

That is using it

@PureEvilPie as someone incapable of work do to mental issues saying that people should pay more tax can be seen as a bit self serving, but I'd like to think I'd stick to my principals even if I had a job.

That's odd, there's an oversupply, but despite there being an oversupply, homes are unaffordable, and more than 2million people are homeless or inadequately housed

Let's say I have a rent portfolio

Some fucking mental gymnastics going on there

I struggle to rent out a property

Whag is the grace period before you fuck me in the ass with tax

You have a terrible asset you can't use? Why keep it?

Most people I hope would stick to their principals

What..

Easy peasy loophole there

Rent it out every 2 years for min contract length and then evict

You can't

Ah great and when I can afford a luxury London flat I'll see pigs flying

I can

Actually you can't

Because you said Grace period

there is a consensus that there is definitely an oversupply

You not realise how hard it is to evict people these days?

I'd say as long as it's on the market you would be granted grace, but I'm not for the "Tax empty houses" solution

My landlord right now can give me a month to leave as I'm now on a rolling contract

Change the period of time required for a home to be considered "occupied", then that's fine @Joshu

New laws coming soon, Joshu

Or, set a minimum period of occupancy

Such as 6 months.

Then that's fine.

Aims have been met

People are using those empty homes

The biggest thing i'd do to fuck over your rental portfolio, Joshu, would be to end the practice of paying housing benefit to people in private rented accomodation

so cut social housing supply?

Yes that's what he is saying

couldn't you just juggle your place of residence around multiple homes @Nathan James 123 to avoid this tax?

No, "private rented accodomation" isn't "social housing" supply

Or force councils to pay over the odds
