Reply to the comment left by Glyn Moore at 14/09/2021 - 12:34Absolutely agree Glyn, moreover this type of debate is likely to be more divisive than constructive and set more landlords and tenants at odds with each other. But when...
Half of the claims are perceptive and do not demonstrate clear evidence of an illegal action and therefore their claim of 45% is purely finger in the air stuff. Not to mention the 3,5000! who did the survey Diane Abbott?...

Hi Julie Really sorry to hear your plight I really feel for you. I had a slightly different situation, many years ago my tenant who was absolutely perfect, never missed a payment improved the property and the neighbours loved him....
Silly question, have you asked DAS for a list of their introducers/intermediaries so you can pick one and send the business through them to DAS? And Deborah and I are not related....at least I dont think we are haha ;-)
I agree, if you can afford to defer their rent do so. However get them to pay it and offer it back to them as a sum of monies when the keys are handed over, that way you will still...
I would also suggest that anyone who enters this property does so with a camera strapped to their chest. Then if this delightful tenant tries it on you can report him for fraud.
Whilst this particular letter which is being sent out is indeed not a scam. It is worth noting that the manner in which the ICO has decided to carry out this project does leave the consumer open to scams. This...
Wow! This looks like a scam waiting to happen. The scammers get a list of property from Land Registry that is held by an offshore owner and then send letters similar to this with demands for back tax but confirmation...
I am not sure whether this helps but I remember a situation that whilst not the same may give you some ammunition with the Management Company. I owned a shop and a flat which were both on the same supply....

Reply to the comment left by Mark Alexander at 20/06/2019 - 11:19It pretty much sums up the current apparent predicament with Shelter and their reaching out to work with us, does it not?
I can't shake the feeling that Shelter is the scorpion from the fable the scorpion and the frog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog No matter how nice he is and how convincing he can be that his intentions are honorable along with the mutually...
I don't know whether anyone else has seen this, but there is more to this story, some of which suggests that these individuals are not in fact actors. That is, if you believe that the BBC are capable of doing...
I would have sympathy with them if they were forced from Cornwall to the West Midlands (no offence to the West Midlands) Quite frankly these entitled people seem to have landed on their feet! I was brought up in Cornwall...
Reply to the comment left by Joe Armstrong at 14/06/2019 - 09:27Totally agree, I did the whole survey but just didn't complete my name post code or email. I don't currently have a good enough relationship with Shelter to be...
Am I the only sceptical one. I wouldn't mind betting it is Shelters way of getting dirt on us. Like a journalist use our responses and spin the results to once again make the industry look bad. My suggestion is,...
