You might be correct in relation to some of the new rules, provided the tenants are pretty good and the owner has funds available to upgrade, often many thousands. Of course it is the tenants paying for the upgrades through rent increases, and landlords will be terminating risky tenants while they can. Same as other businesses.

One of the first new rules brought in 3 years ago was banning letting fees paid by tenants to property managers. What then happened is that property managers charged owners and put the rent up to recoup the fee. Who'd have thunk it?
