OCSE esorta l’Irlanda a ripensare i limiti di affitto e le agevolazioni fiscali del proprietario

The simple fact is rent caps don’t work. This is proven the world over countless times. They can benefit some who manage to find a place but ultimitally fail in their main objective.

At the end of the Day, being a landlord isn’t that bad. What’s bad is that there’s nowhere else for people to put their money into investments without getting reamed with taxes. 
Massive companies buying too many properties, build to rent, HAP, and probably others I’m forgetting making it worse as well.

If we got rid of deemed disposal taxes then ordinary people would have other investment options. that’s way easier than being a landlord. It would let pressure off the housing market in hopefully enough time for the government to fix the housing crisis. 

It actually is all very doable and quickly too. There’s just no impetus for the government to do it. They just don’t want to do that. I would love to know actually why they do this?
