In terms of our overall philosophy, I think we are in agreement. Housing should be a right all people have, and that should include security that you aren’t going to be forced to move willy-nilly. It should not be a right to make a profit by owning property.

I actually think they’re are vanishingly few reasons I would accept for someone being forced out of the home you’re living in. Being in breach but causing serious damage is one. The owner wanting to move in or an immediate family member move in is another. The home being in need of serious renovations is a third. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of a fourth. But I do think that being allowed to live in it yourself is one pretty basic accommodation that should be made for the owners of housing.
