If thats the case then the articles headline should be changed to reflect that instead of saying:

I suppose that we could ban buy to let mortgages. That would stop a lot of landlords being able to buy houses to rent out.
Of course, that would stop a lot of property sales, for lack of buyers. That would mean that many owners would become accidental landlords.
