Reply to the comment left by Judith Wordsworth at 05/04/2024 - 15:08Same here. The almost non existent financial reward is just not worth the stress now.

It was a tenancy just as a normal ast would be so she did pay rent.

Yes I thought the same. Disappointed with Martin Lewis this time.

I'm surprised it's only 25 potential tenants. When I've previously advertised my properties I usually had more than that many people interested. I'm about to advertise one, so it will be interesting to see how many enquiries I get this...

If it's anything like the Rent Smart Wales scheme then it will be a farce. Good, law abiding landlords will pay and do the online course to get their licence. Dodgy landlords will get someone else to do it for...

Whilst I have every sympathy with anyone facing problems due to racism or hate crimes, I don't see what it has to do with their landlord. If I have such problems, who can I run to about it? I don't...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 06/01/2023 - 15:39You're right. Not all tenants are fools. I recently apologised to one of my tenants for the frequency of contact that was necessary in a short space of time...

Reply to the comment left by Bos Tin at 11/11/2022 - 14:08Not necessarily. Young people living with their parents are more likely to be able to save the deposit than those renting. When they buy a property, it's very unlikely...

I did this when my daughter lived in one of my properties. She was my tenant and became the resident landlord of the lodger and therefore provided a lodgers agreement to the lodger. The AST was the agreement I had...

It always baffles me as to why tenants think a property must be pristine when they move in but can be left like a pigsty when they move out. They seem to think that filth and dirt comes under wear...

I've considered paying a tenant to leave as I want to sell the house. The problem is that he can't find anywhere else to rent so money isn't going to help him. Unfortunately he's going to stay put as long...

Reply to the comment left by Old Mrs Landlord at 20/05/2021 - 23:17He is still in the notice period. I'm still undecided about selling so he will have to leave as it will be easier to sell without a tenant....

Reply to the comment left by Paul Shears at 20/05/2021 - 08:09I have two very good tenants, one who has been with me for 8 years. They report genuine faults and do not expect miracles when arranging for repairs to...

I have a very similar issue with one of my tenants. He was homeless and I gave him the chance to rent the house when he couldn't get anywhere else due to bad credit. He was so very grateful for...

I agree with the point you made about not all young people wanting to leave the family home and live alone. I have two children in their 20s. One left and came back because she realises the benefits of living...

Is it worth buying a home?

19th August 2020, 6 years ago

I have thought about this too. It seems to me that when you get old and need care and supported housing etc., you either need to have nothing or be rich enough that the cost doesn't matter. I work as...

I have the same problem as I just found out this morning. Now I'm undecided on letting the property again or selling it.

I had a tenant change the meters from prepay ones to credit ones. Then he stopped paying rent and all bills. Basically he lived at the property totally free for 6 months before leaving voluntarily when I explained that a...

This doesn't really change anything, except to waste tenants time when they view properties they will never get. It's the same as when you apply for a job and are told 'there was someone with more suitable experience' or 'the...
