You’re half right. It shouldn’t be allowed to happen at all. Personally I think, one person, one house—that’s it. Corporations can’t own SFH. Taxed on empty units, taxed on high rates.

    yup tax on empty units in general would help a lot including rent prices, if you want to not pay the extra tax, better lower your rent to a point people can afford. So the tax needs to be high enough for this decision to be made.
