The policy + moratorium will end up lowering the percentage of mom and pop landlords, and increasing the share of larger corporations. I draw the analogy just like what's happening to the mom and pop shops vs Amazon. If tenants think landlords are leeches now, well, they are exchanging it with snakes, with lawyers on retainer.

Many mom and pop landlords are exempted from housing regulations, and are afforded much more leeway in terms of rights and discretion than larger landlords are.
Almost all of the issues I've had while renting were with small landlords. Corporate landlords at least held up their ends of leases in my experience.

I've been looking at SFH rentals recently. 4 beds. The companies that bought all these up are running them into the ground. It's sad what is being passed as proper. And it's not like it's dirt cheap either.
