Oct 900:38:58Tap to summarizeWith just one week until The PMC 2025, the boys are back together and fired up. This week we dig into breaking news from the UK: the Green Party recently voted to “abolish landlords”, promising sweeping reforms to the private rental sector. (landlordtoday.co.uk) Could such an idea take root here in New Zealand? What would it mean for property owners, managers, and renters, especially with our general election just 12 months away?
