Fixing the rental market starts with a max tax of 15% on rental income.
In some cases it can be 48%. Who would rent a property in that scenario?

Totally crazy! Now people expect the government (read 'other taxpayers') to subsidise their rent. Neither rent nor mortgage interest should be tax deductible. You can't expect your living expenses to be tax deductible, otherwise no-one would have any income left that would be taxable.
