What a total idiot. Give us back section 21. Simple

Absolutely agree with the suggestions: Allow rent in advance Bring back section 21 with a compensation of 2 months rent to the tenant if a landlord uses it. That seems very fair. Allow bidding for properties – because it is...

Reply to the comment left by Jesus Diaz at 09/10/2026 - 07:01So NRLA doesn’t follow their own members wishes? What the hell is the point of them? Time for landlords to abandon NRLA and start a collective union that will...

Couldn’t agree more. Well said a propertyMark. Ban the selective licensing schemes outright and reduce the annual database fee to match Scotland and Wales.

Yes of course it’s a total rip off. But Why hasn’t the NRLA done anything to stop it before ? Why haven’t they managed to be heard? Their comments are far too mild. come far too late and don’t reach...

We need a landlord campaign group that can shout as loudly as ‘Generations Rent’. By the way - who are they funded by? They seem to have a huge full-time team of lobbyists.

The six months time limit is ridiculous. A friend just had 3 consecutive buyers fall through on a house sale - that has meant it took over 18 months to sell. And this is not unusual.

If all the costs Landlords have to pay are also capped then fair enough. But as long as they keep rising then so will rents! I don’t raise rents to make more income - I raise it to try to...

Please could someone explain To me what the enormous sum of money the government will get EACH year from this database is going to be used for? Millions of properties = millions and millions of pounds. I pay Apple less...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 01/10/2026 - 09:26Are the insurers still allowed to ask the questions though? I bet they are. And that means they will price their insurance accordingly! A landlord will be asked to...

Let’s remember that Insurance companies routinely discriminate and the government allows that! They ask higher premiums if a tenant is on benefits or self-employed etc. And who would the ‘registered providers’ of verification be? Yet another ‘service’ provider that can...

Never ever have a lawyer as a tenant. Ever.

I had a tenant who told me he’d checked and found out I didn’t have a mortgage and then started threatening me and trying to extort money. He made a false claim to the council saying I had failed to...

Couldn’t agree more. Ineffective, badly designed and just a money grabbing exercise for the councils. In my area I had two inspections for my selective licence applications. Neither inspector seemed to have any clue what they were doing or even...

This is appalling - why should we be exposed to such risks? Truly terrifying. Identity fraud is constantly increasing and the government imposes complex legislation supposedly designed to protect data privacy and then does this! Making all landlords sitting targets....

The fact that information on comparable achieved rents is not available either to landlords or tribunals makes a mockery of the whole process. Whoever devised this wants us all to live in a Kafka nightmare. The only potential source for...

Duh! What did the government THINK would happen? Yes of course we are all selling as soon as we can. So less places available to rent. And of course that means higher rents! Plus no bidding over the asking price...

And so yet another new avenue for profiteering from landlords opens up: ‘let me help you fill in your rent increase form oh and there will be a fee for that.’ Is that fee going to be refunded if the...
