Rejected petition Increase the tax relief for landlords with only one main property.

It is hard for middle-class workers to pay extra tax for rental income from their sole property; they had to rent it out because of a temporary reallocation due to work or childcare. They are paying tax on top of a normal mortgage and additional rent.

More details

I propose to increase the tax relief for landlords with only one property under their name.
