All Landlords, please SIGN this petition and share with as many landlords as possible. Click Here

You can’t go into a supermarket and steal your weeks’ groceries. There are laws in place to protect shopkeepers large and small. Not paying rent is also theft with the Landlord being the victim. In Australia, tenants can be evicted for being 14 days in arrears with the rent. Let’s have that system here.

The current system is unfair to Landlords. If a Tenant doesn’t pay rent then it can take a year for a Landlord to regain procession. In that time the Landlord still has to pay the mortgage and other costs. This can ruin many small scale Landlords. Furthermore, it incentivises Landlords to only rent their properties to tenants with higher than average income who are likely to care about getting a bad credit rating.

Let’s have an Australian style system which aims to be neutral between Landlord and Tenant.

I think basically 7 days would be the limit for me but, I would still sign as, I am now totally converted to believe the norm which is that a service should be paid when due and not 7 days, 10 days or 14 days later. After all, the tenant should treat the payment date as a serious matter, just like we don't walk out of a shop with goods intending to come back and paying the next day. If we did, we would be immediately arrested.
A tenant does not get arrested and often gets away with not paying the rent altogether.

Ben Beadle newish top man of NRLA messaged me last night, he 'says' he's ringing me today. I only talk work Mon to Fri 8 to 5. Sorry my rules ha ha, too many houses to keep going all day.
My agenda slightly different to yours in that we having major UC problems & NRLA not pushing 'em enough. And more Landlords gonna' be effected by UC as time goes on. And as we know, my big bone of Selective Licencing. I shun't have done more for Nottingham Landlords that NRLA. So I & others need more going forward.
Anything u want me to push Ian if we get time? Ring me as I may not come on here again till Thurs morning.

Clint says it all, 14 days will still end up being 5 months before we get house back.

Feel sorry for u Dale, Licensing bad enough if u live in same city, never mind different country. I know many houses have been sold with happy same tenants 7 years cause Landlord overseas & Licensing wun't allow overseas Landlord to apply for License theirselves.

Its great isn't it, I've swerved over £120,000 in rent over 10 years, and each time we get to court the landlord pays me money to leave as there is always some thing they didn't do right, even letting agents that are considered big players mess up on protocol, its time we stopped people from owning more than one house...

Everything wrong with the system is encapsulated in the smug comment from "Outhere for the tenants."
It is a repulsive response but reflective of tenants attitudes because the regulations permit their premeditated and deliberate thieving.

Yes, in the States you can get all the preliminaries done really quickly but you still have to go to court (it differs by State) to get an eviction order and if the tenants says they are going to pay (enter into a payment agreement) they won't be evicted so you still have to go through all of that and go back to court again. You still don't get to collect any arrears but you do get your property back normally trashed. So a bit quicker but similar outcome

Can't agree with that. Where would people who can't afford to buy a house live?

Perjazkly!
Landlords are like anybody else. They need to eat, sleep, have a roof over their head and have peace of mind. It doesn't matter whether they have one house or ten, they still gave up a hell of a lot to get to that stage and nobody should be stealing from them without penalty
