Landlord tax cuts? You've got to be shitting me why are they getting tax cuts
The real estate industry as a whole donated heavily to both National and Act. Not just landlords, but also estate agents etc. They desperately want more activity in the property market even if it means house prices start going up again.
They definitely want house prices to start going up again.
National campaigned on several measures that have a known effect of raising house prices e.g. narrowing the RBNZ mandate, moving the bright line test, reintroducing tax incentives.
