HOUSING SHORTAGE – I agree with JimmtT, and would add most politicians probably avoid the stress of renting (either as landlords or tenants) but there is a way to get them interested: let them know there are many people who are too scared (by such stories as appear on this web site) to ever so much as rent out a spare room in their home (My doctor says he has a left a whole house empty for almost a year after a nightmare with tenants/CTTT). This could be a large factor behind our housing shortage… anyone got statistics on this? (perhaps we should have a new spin-off thread in this forum)
