The fact that protecting your income means potentially pushing people out of their home and onto the street is not good, that's a problem with the system.

A lot of what you're saying is true, but I dont see how any of this refutes what the OP says, and what i said previously.

I dont agree with that bit about a landlord being more vulnerable. if you're being evicted, theres a good chance you wont be able to afford rent anywhere else. The landlord would ideally be able to sell extra properties to protect themselves and keep their home, renters dont usually own property. Where do you think people go when they can't afford a place to live?

This is a systemic problem that wont go away unless we make housing more equitable. I mean, why should a landlord with a mortgage be able to take out multiple mortgages if a few bad tenants would actually make them homeless? No one should be homeless, banks dont need a house to live in. And as i said previously...
