    That's more to do with peak v average demand. Lots of drivers aren't going to sit around all day earning litte or nothing just to ensure everyone heading home after a night out can get a taxi between 2am and 3am without having to wait.

    Landlords aren't unique nearly every industry is reglated.

    Any type of manufacturing? There's environmental impact assessments, hazardous chemical storage and handling regulations, an encyclopedia of health and safety and working hours and conditions, waste management, product safety,...

    Pick any business / industry and it's regulated. Why should landlords expect any different?

    Regulation when it comes to safety and standards are important and welcome.

    It's the over reaching nature of current legislation that removes any control over the property by the assets owners and removing the ability to set the price that is unwelcome. I know of very few businesses where the state has interfered to this extent, contracts between the two parties would define the terms. Taxi fares are set but whenever they look to increase fares they get the regulators approval, the pricing structure for landlords has not been reviewed since RPZs were put in place.
