Allow landlords full tax relief on finance costs such as mortgage interest

What the petition asks
It is unfair that landlords cannot claim full tax relief on essential finance costs such as a mortgage interest. Shopkeepers can claim tax relief on the cost of goods, and interest payments are a similar legitimate business cost for landlords.
Not allowing full tax relief on these costs can increase rent and create financial hardship for tenants, as well as landlords.
