    Houses are for living in, if there aren’t enough houses then it shouldn’t be legal to rent on out for making a profit.

      With some exceptions.

      Eg. I rented out my apartment for a month while I was on holiday.

        Yes definitely a good example and a valid argument. Even better than not doing it, because you lower the pressure on the housing market by a tiny fraction.
