Look, I know we went over this ad nauseam some months ago, but ... freehold landlords are already told a lot of what they can and can't do in their own homes, so your argument on that basis falls very flat indeed.
They are told what size of glasses and measures to serve their customers in, they are told they can't even serve booze without permission from a magistrate (or a local council, I think it now is), they are told when they can open and when they can close, they are told what hours they are allowed to have their staff work, they are told how many people they are allowed to have indoors at any one time, they are told where and how to install fire alarms, firefighting equipment, fire escapes and signage to show the way ...
Do I need to go on?
