I see right to buy has been ended by the Government. The short term tenancies of as little as two years that have been introduced stop the right to buy process.

Furthermore the government's sense of direction is prevent homes being built by the social sector and for them to be subsequently underoccupied in an effort to tackle the housing crises.

Allowing RTB would mean under occupants would be able to avoid having the tenancy terminated by initiating RTB. Not what the government desires. RTB gone, short term tenancies in.

I believe decades ago this debate has some history. Underoccupancy and tenacy lengths.
