A bit of a misappropriation of the term “Robin Hood”, but neat nonetheless.

Well, he's not literally robbing the rich to pay the poor. But notifying people that they're getting screwed is still Robin Hood-esque.

Robin Hood breaks the law, this guy enforces it. Just so happens that enforcing it also helps the poor in this case.

It’s nice to hear that the country regulates the amounts charged.

Yeah, although it's up to the tenants to make sure it's enforced, this is definitely a great example of when government influence is a positive thing. It's not very capitalist of us, but definitely better for everyone in the long run.

I for one am always glad to have so much be governed and regulated by our government and the EU. Even though it does put limits on some liberties, in general I can easily see how it's influenced my life way more positively than negatively. Protection from bad actors such as these landlords is a great example of it.

Coming from that, it was baffling to learn how anti-government some western countries such as the USA are. Some think that is liberty, but it's the opposite; the average citizen has so much more potential over here because there's always a safety net, exceptions notwithstanding.
