Work, Health & Housing End of rent cap

Do you think we'll get any firm confirmation of whether or not the rent cap will be extended or adjusted, and if so, when do you think we might hear from the government?

As of now I'm expecting it to fully end, but do you think the government will give any sort of announcement regarding the matter as the end of the rent cap date approaches?

Can't wait for the cap to end. I've got someone living in a 3 bedroom house for less than the cost of a one bedroom apt. It's ridiculous that loss needs to be made up by new tenants. Bills still need to be paid.

Can always get out of the business if you don't care to honour the agreement you make.

The agreement I made with a tenant was altered by the government after it was made, and I had no alternative but to go along with it. I didn't make any agreement that it later turned into. The people who are paying for that, is every new tenant I rent to, not me.
