      Really though. 10.8% of homes nationally are unoccupied. Can you imagine how much more accessible housing would be if landlords couldn’t sit on properties to find the next tenant to bleed dry?

        That’s a myth. What it actually means is they have no regular occupant, which means for example they’re student houses full of students with a home address elsewhere.
