Rent to rent, been there done that, got the T shirt, several in fact. Never again especially under the RRA. The landlord is ALWAYS left with the problems.

Reply to the comment left by Jan Hall at 09:16 I would agree but for the fact that all landlords are already on the naughty list just for being a landlord.

Reply to the comment left by Joe Bloggs at 12/09/2026 - 16:53The irony is that before the RRA many of us would take a chance with a less than perfect applicant knowing that there was a remedy is section 21....

Reply to the comment left by Tim Peters at 12:08 I do not believe the RRA was ever about helping tenants, it was about driving landlords out of the market so that hte CGT could be collected. No government genuinely...

Reply to the comment left by Joe Bloggs at 11:02 I too have voids, but not for want of applicants. Every advert leads to at least twenty applicants most of whom would not pass referencing. I give all suspect applicants...

Reply to the comment left by Joe Bloggs at 12/09/2026 - 10:28Joe & Judith, the simple solution is not to take any tenant who poses even the slightest risk. This means no benefit tenants, although you must give them the...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 18:05 You forgot the fourth update, to pay the TAX, which the government euphemistically call a fee.

I wonder how the government decided on £65, what analysis was done? Or was it as I suspect a wet finger in the air.

What do landlords get in return for £65 pa / pp ? Hassle from HMRC & Local Authorities amongst others. Big fimes for minor non compliance no doubt, but of course they will be "proportionate". Will the fee rise with...
