Unless............they were already getting council tax relief (like if they were on some benefit or other) That wont be passed on to the landlord, so he will have to add the cost to the rent, meaning poor tenants will lose...

In the social housing sector, tenants pay the rates monthly as part of the rent.

We already have this system of property tax here in Northern Ireland. This means that the landlords pay the tax (we call it rates) not the tenant. The reason government are pushing this, is because they no longer have to...

Reply to the comment left by Abhishek Swarup at 26/08/2026 - 14:13Just look at what is happening in New York..........rent freeze AND the introduction of state run supermarkets. Prices set by (you guessed it) TRIBUNAL. I said price controls, I...

Its the backbone of communism...........prices set by "Tribunal" Supermarkets next. Then comes rampant homelessness, and hunger. How did we get here?

Where I live, (Northern Ireland) there was a bit of a drink filled mele, bordering on riot, in an area of predominately student lets, on Saint Patricks day. So who did our "justice" minister blame.........you guessed it..........landlords! She said landlords...

Well of course landlords used to be able to use section 21 to remove tenants who caused anti social behavior. But that was a bad idea.............apparently! Unintended consequences are a b***h

Its a grift, Here in Northern Ireland we have had landlord licencing for years. I have never seen the licencing system used for ANYTHING. Its just more money for the council to waste on nonsense that nobody wants.

Landlords pay an estimated £95 BILLION in tax in the UK each year. I take it the government has never heard of the "killing the goose that lays the golden egg" story?

Yes, and we have radical socialist organisations in NI, like "People before Profit"......who hate landlords, and actively campaign against us. The database here has the name and address of every landlord (not tenants) and is available online. Its not good....

In Northern Ireland we have had a landlord database for years now. It is of zero benefit to anyone. Landlords are put on a database, so that tenants know who their landlord is (like its some big secret) and the...

The only way to exert pressure on rent inflation, is to increase supply. I learned that first week of O level economics! Like lots of landlords, I am reducing supply for renters (2 properties gone, 2 to go). Some lefty...

It has been suggested in the past, that a database of rogue TENANTS would be a breech of their civil rights! So how can it be that a register of rogue LANDLORDS does not breech their rights. If the government...

That sounds like an absolute nightmare. You shouldn't have to put up with stress just to rent out a house.

Uncertainty is not good. I've already (yesterday) advised my tenants of a rent increase, because they are well below market value. And if there is a rent freeze, then they will be stuck there for whatever period the government sees...

Landlords in Northern Ireland have had to be on a database for about 12 years now. It costs £70 per landlord every 3 years to register. There are ZERO benefits for anyone. The authorities say its so that tenants know...

How is it, that rental properties have to meet an EPC target, but private property does not? If this is actually to prevent "climate change" then why leave out 80% of the properties? If its about higher standard housing for...
