The controversial case for why building more housing will not solve the housing problem
Against Landlords overturns the stale assumptions and YIMBY delusions as to why housing in the UK is so poor, and why rent is so high. Bano lays the blame squarely at the feet of landlordism, which boosts house prices and makes tenancy unaffordable. Furthermore, building more housing is not the solution. It is firstly a problem of the law, and legal reforms must sweep away the rot at the heart of the housing crisis and British political life.
“One of the best and most rigorous explanations of how the current system is rigged in favour of landlords and why that needs to change.” Vicky Spratt, author of Tenants
“A powerful weapon against those who think that building is the answer to everything” Rowan Moore, Observer
“A devastating, forensic, careful, considered attack on the bustard landlords and every lie, nastiness and evil that they represent.” Danny Dorling, author of Shattered Nation
