Are landlords justified in complaining about the new rules?

Except mobile tenants are going to be at a premium from now on, every landlord will be looking for one

Plus tenants will lie once they understand that saying they want to rent long term is the kiss of death on any application.
How can you guarantee a mobile tenant? Far too risky..

I agree you can't but if a landlord has a choice between a definitely long term tenant or a likely mobile tenant, they will pick the latter every time.

A low income family will be permanent, a young professional or a youngest from Brazil will likely be temporary so landlords will go for those from now on
 
You say that to me like you think I dont have 25+ years experience of home ownership and renting out property as well at about 10+ years of renting from many different landlords in different countries. And there are plenty here with far more experience than I have.

And yet you believe it “must be hassle free”…
 
I think this might be a question for @LarryScott

Am in correct in saying, that if I signed up a tenant last year, the 2% rental cap was temporary and due to expire 28Feb2026? Is it the case that this rental cap is now permanent (unless a tenant moves out of their own accord, or they breach terms)? If so, isn't this a major change of the terms for existing accommodation providers? Can this be challenged?

Not only is it permanent, now you will be told what the rent is going to be. It might even be less than 2%. Using the RTBs website you will never again see market rent.
