How can you have a "Rouge Landlord database" but it be illegal to have a "Rouge Tenant database" ?

In the same way the police will not help Landlords when tenants smash up our property (its a civil matter don't you know) we wont help police enforce criminal matters. And if we did, we would probably get sued!

Reply to the comment left by Rhett Costin at 27/05/2026 - 16:25Sorry, but you are wrong. MP's don't get London accommodation paid for, if they have their home there. The only reason they get it paid, is so that they...

Checking through the RRA to see if it applied to Northern Ireland (it doesn't) I found out that the is a "Rouge Landlord" database in N.I. Landlords have been asking for years to have a rouge tenants database, so the...

Reply to the comment left by Rhett Costin at 26/05/2026 - 12:24I think you are missing the point. He owned a property in London. Yet he got us (taxpayers) to pay for him to rent ANOTHER property in London, for...

I used to live near Caracas.........and used to see Chavez on TV all the time, walking around the city "appropriating" (his words) properties from private owners. These were mostly small hotels and B&B but rented apartments too. Within a year...

The estate agent who said “The Renters’ Rights Act has prompted some landlords to sell though not as many as we had feared" does not realise the sell off has just begun. Most landlords will not rush to kick existing...

If BBC panorama was an actual investigative program, they could do an expo on how much government actions have increased rent over the last 10 years. But they aren't, they are lefty socialists. So they wont. Tax, fines and regulations....

Rents are rising in Northern Ireland, because local government has become addicted to meddling with the market. New regulations every year, and now a "study" into increasing notice to end a tenancy to six months. Rumours of rent controls too,...

I've been a landlord for 30 years. But I see the writing on the wall, and am quitting. Two gone, two to go (unless the government is willing to allow EPC costs to be offset against profit). That MIGHT make...

The government are trying to force landlords to accept tenants who are higher risk. The only consideration for landlords should be the risk/reward ratio. Let the government supply housing on socialist principles, USING THEIR OWN MONEY.

Because they are politicians, they are too stupid to realise a lot of new build properties are funded by landlords, buying properties off-plan. Introduce rent controls, and that source of new properties will be dead. Who wants to take out...

I've been a Belfast landlord for 30 years, and I've never seen this level of anti landlord regulation. Every year, new (often ill thought out) rules. Its a triple whammy, Westminster, Stormont and Belfast city council are all taking tuns...

Its even worse than it first appears......as private landlords leave the sector, the government loses tax revenue on our income. So less money in, and well as more money out, its a lose/lose situation. Our "leaders" are either ideologues, or...

I am retiring, and have offered to sell to the tenants at well BELOW market rate. But they declined, they want to rent. This delay cost me two years while they hmm'd and haa'd saying they were looking into mortgages...

MLA's should be made to pass O level economics before being allowed to comment on this stuff You don't stop demand by restricting supply. And that is already happening. I have sold one, one is in the process, and one...

Another factor that is not even mentioned, is the loss of tax revenue along with the reduction in the PRS. People often say "well the houses didn't go away, they were transferred into owner occupier" Yes its true, the properties...

What exactly do they mean by "proportionate" there is absolutely nothing proportionate about it. ALL landlords on a database, and yet we cant even get the rogue tenants to be put on one.
