The Greens are heading to the election, with a policy to reverse the Government's reintroduction of interest deductibility.

It also wants to scrap no-cause evictions, and introduce a new register of landlords and property managers.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper has raised concerns over the impacts of this plan.
