Basically you were stuffed when this was brought in if you were aged under 35.

The whole of this, went straight under my radar, the last I'd heard that was similar was them discussing people living in a larger home perhaps letting a spare room to someone. So if someone has let someone under 25 move in with them are they now going to have to evict that person because they can't pay the rent?
It's a whole barrel of rotten apples.
