Landlords will in effect become unpaid Council Tax collectors, with assets to backup the Local Authority for non-payers.

A £7,000 fine is likely to be ruinous or at least be a severe body blow to many small Landlords as a result of a tenant complaint to the Council (yes some Councils may proactively inspect properties) . The ultimate...

Reply to the comment left by Beaver at 18:35 If its an extra tax then home owners, second home owners and tenants all pay double (CT+LVT) assuming Landlords pass on 100% of the LVT through increased rent, Student will see...

....... because they hate Landlords. The Government has a track record on this with SDLT; treating Landlords the same second home buyers.

The people who will really lose out will be those with a CT exemption eg students, people getting a Council Tax Reduction, and certain other groups. They see a rent rise but no corresponding CT reduction.

Word on the street is a land value tax would replace Council Tax. So tenants would face higher rents but no CT to pay. But I wouldn't hold my breath on CT being abolished.

.... and even shorter write off periods for HMOs, which makes no sense. The reduction is supposedly for higher wear & tear, but in reality it's only the communal areas that suffer any higher w&t (and even that's arguable -...

Where will the data be sourced? Will Landlords input data, if not the data will be biased. And reports/analysis derived from the database will be biased (and I bet it won't be in fa our of Landlords).

Landlords are not acting as stand-in parents/guardians of its tenants. If the same anti-social tenant were owner-occupiers then complainers would have to resort to the Police and/or Local Authority, just because they're a tenant shouldn't alter that. You cannot make...

I've been saying this for a couple of years now (since the RRA was first mooted under the Tories). Tenants without a rock solid job/income bringing in 40+ times the monthly rental, impeccable credit record, glowing previous Landlord references and...

The Government (and the Tories before them) have given an unfair competitive advantage to the PBSA sector (on the basis of their business model). Student Landlords should have the same rights as the PBSAs.

It should be a requirement for anyone wishing to become a MP to have some minimum qualifications including "Economics101". It seems that many MPs struggle at counting. Many MPs go on about professionalising Landlords, well how about professionalising MPs? #LeadByDonkeys

You only have to look at the likes of Diane Abbott, Rachel Reeves, etc to realise that basic arithmetic, let alone mathematics or even economics is beyond their comprehension/mental capability. #LeadByDonkeys

What hasn't been estimated is how many fewer houses have been built do to the reduced demand from the PRS

This all part of this Governments (and the previous Tory governments) plan to destroy the PRS. It's death by a thousand cuts. The Government cannot overnight abolish private Landlords that would be too disruptive but little by little is manageable.

As ever the Government has its fingers in their ears and humming "la la la......" Shouting about how tenants will have better homes misses the point when there will be no homes to rent! It misses the point that tenants...

Reply to the comment left by David Lawrenson at 12/01/2026 - 14:51.... but the problem is that the BTR brigade aren't stepping up to the mark to fill the void being left by private Landlords. The big corporates only want...
