The controversial case for why building more housing will not solve the housing problem
Against Landlords overturns the stale assumptions and YIMBY delusions as to why housing in the UK is so poor, and why rent is so high. Bano lays the blame squarely at the feet of landlordism, which boosts house prices and makes tenancy unaffordable. Furthermore, building more housing is not the solution. It is firstly a problem of the law, and legal reforms must sweep away the rot at the heart of the housing crisis and British political life.
"A powerful weapon against those who think that building is the answer to everything" - Observer
"Against Landlords is an incisive and engaging take on the housing crisis, with some crucial commentary that anyone interested in housing would benefit from reading." - rs21
"Uncomfortably relevant ... reading Against Landlords right now is rather like flipping through Peter Benchley's Jaws while sitting in a rapidly deflating rubber dingy and being circled by some very pointy fins ... Bano has proven he has the courage to show some much-needed imagination, while most commentary and debate around housing in the UK is typified by a depressing lack thereof." - Heckle
"We are in a total mess. We stole the future prospects, security, health and mental wellbeing of an entire generation in order to create an extractive paradise for a handful of rentiers. Bano paints this bleak, bleak, bleak picture with admirable clarity." - Representology
"Timely ... will send a chill down the backs of landlords everywhere" - View Digital
"Excellent ... Bano sets out clearly and convincingly how we have all been hoodwinked into thinking that house price rises are due to lack of supply and therefore the solution to the housing crisis is to build more houses." - Counterfire
"A refreshing alternative to the droning hymns of free-market proselytisers ... Bano's salient and ardent analysis confronts the realities of the law, regulation and capitalism itself." - Red Pepper
"Excellent ... highly recommended" - Morning Star
