According to the Guardian, landlords are not selling up - totally fake news and a breach of IPSO guidance on press accuracy. Can the forum monitors please pass this onto the campaign and policy team? We need to force newspapers to stop this relentless anti landlord rhetoric which is actually hurting tenants as much as landlords. 

Here it is:

"Critics of the Renters (Reform) bill have suggested that any regulation will cause a mass exodus of landlords, and therefore exacerbate the rental crisis. In reality, there is little evidence to suggest this is happening or will happen any time soon. This narrative from landlord lobby groups is likely to continue to escalate as campaigners agitate for better, more secure regulation and rental controls."

The NRLA links don't work on this forum so you may  need to remove the > to get it to work:

If anyone wants to complain to IPSO themselves, here is the form: ipso.co.uk/complain/complaints-form/

The breach is an Article 1 breach (Accuracy).

Thanks:-)
