As Joe says the individuals,companies and Michael Meachers that are now landlords bought them legally from those who had already purchased them. There are always going to be haves and have nots, maybe some sort of covenant should have been put in at the offset saying that the homes should remain owner/their family occupied.

Vast swathes of privately owned rented properties are being paid by the taxpayer to house immigrants, asylum seekers etc
