My Brother in law rents to a Sri Lankan couple who don't speak much English. Communication is usually through their nephew and works well. When the nephew isnt around, a translation app seems to function perfectly well.

Reply to the comment left by Landlord Phil at 01/10/2026 - 15:02Sorry, but I don't think the "it's my property" argument is good enough. Fine if you want to keep it for your own use. Once the property is offered...

Sounds like PR speak for not up to the job

Even if they are not frauds, I still think it's still a bad idea. I believe they use licences with the occupants rather than tenancies based on a right to enter the premises for management or to move people between...

I suspect that the PRS student housing market will wither on the vine as one by one the landlords drop out because of this issue. A student giving notice because they've dropped out can be practically impossible to replace once...

I would tend to agree that from what I've read on the various forums, landlords seem willing to reject applicants for the most trivial of reasons. Applicants that I would have considered and possibly accepted. I dont know what the...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 25/09/2026 - 15:57On the tenancy agreement you can use an agents address if you have one. That doesn't apply to s1 L&T Act 1985.

These so-called "niche tenancies" are outside the scope of almost all of the RRA. The Act does in theory reserve the right for the Secretary of State to include them in the database requirements at a later date through a...

It will include the property address, but as I said earlier, it's not yet clear which parts of the database will be made public.

Reply to the comment left by Sally Robinson at 22/09/2026 - 09:04Neither tenant names nor gender are required on the database. There are no fields for that information.

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 21/09/2026 - 13:15There was talk of having to register for at least a year after ceasing to let. I'm not sure whether that made it is to the regs.

For Government this is not even about us not buying. This is about a changing of the guard. Corporate buyers and build to rent properties are replacing smaller PRS landlords. It depends which studies you believe as to whether that's...
