And if you want to see the consequences of a legal framework hostile to landlordS, look at France. It has become extremely hard to rent a place as landlordS demand all sorts of guarantees. In fact I know foreign bankers who couldn’t find a place to rent when coming to Paris as they lacked the necessary references.

That's hardly a general effect of all landlord-constraining frameworks. It's certainly not a tenant-favouring framework. If the law said landlords could not require those kinds of references when advertising a tenancy, that would be a legal framework hostile to landlords without the reference problem you described. (Admittedly there would be unintended consequences. Maybe the reference problem would continue surreptitiously.)
