Nick Bano, a barrister in London, dives into the housing crisis in the U.K. in this episode of People First Radio. With his book 'Against Landlords' as a backdrop, Bano offers a compelling argument against the current state of landlordism and its impact on housing. He argues that the deregulation of the private rental sector has led to skyrocketing rents and deteriorating living conditions. Bano's insights are based on his extensive experience representing homeless individuals and tenants in housing disputes.
He highlights the erosion of tenants' rights and the need for law reforms, such as rent control and more social housing, to address these issues. The episode also touches on the moral implications of landlordism and the economic forces that sustain it. If you're interested in understanding the complexities of the housing crisis and the role landlords play in it, this episode is a must-listen.
