Reply to the comment left by Person Of The People at 05/04/2026 - 13:59Its still not too late for every landlord to give every tenant a s21. Just sayin'. A short sharp shock!

In any other scenario a contract is legal and binding in how it is written. With tenancy agreements it is how the judge perceives the situation presented before him/her on the day and how lenient he feels towards the tenant....
Reply to the comment left by Noel Greene at 02/01/2026 - 13:21Surely the word 'license', means you are paying for something that you can use, or are getting a service in return, ie. Drivers license, TV license, Taxi driver's license,...
The sooner all landlords understand that whilst they are subsidising rents and rent arrears, repairing non accidental damage to properties, paying huge amounts in legal fees, stealth taxes etc, etc., the government is not going to change things in our...
The council will advise your tenant to stay put because they will have nowhere to put him. Its up to you to move things forward. If I were you I would serve a section 21 while you still can. You...
Landlords have to brace themselves for a whole lot more of these shenanigans. Gas safety engineers want the work but are terrified of being held accountable for any accidents, therefore they condemn boilers that are in good working order creating...
The government have a massive problem in not being able to supply much needed housing particularly for the rising tide of immigrants, so what do they do, they take a big stick and beat the LL to death with it....
I said at the beginning of this new Government, there will be no small private LL's. The rental industry will just become a numbers game, big numbers. The banks, wealth management companies, pension providers will take over it all. They...
Yes, but that's not the fault of the Landlord. We are made to feel that many Renters become our responsibility and that is not the case. The state has to shoulder that responsibility and in turn the taxpayer, so back...
I agree with everything you say. Pity the powers that be, aren't as street wise. All the excuses under the sun. I've got one on the boil now, going to turn nasty, and it's always someone you've gone out of...
I'm afraid you just have to suck it up, there is absolutely no redress to retrieve what is owed to you. What I would do though, is bundle up all your documents and send them to Angela Raynor's office at...
If there is no reason, ie, no fault, what has the tenant got to contest? The government wouldn't propose getting rid of s21, if keeping it made life simpler for the LL.
S21 is the least complex way for a LL to regain possession of their property. All the other sections are contestable and an awkward tenant will enjoy arguing the toss in court, driving up time and costs, to which the...
The problem with s8 is that whatever the reason given, the tenant will dispute it and there will be added court costs in fighting every case. Much easier to just request return of your property, no reason given.
It's exactly like all these other pop up businesses making money from the landlord, who is incidentally the only person taking any risk. Its not in the interest of NRLA for there to be a hassle free rental sector.

Ben Beadle is pussyfooting around everyone at that committee. Appeasement, they call it. I don't know who he represents, but as a PRS landlord, he doesn't speak for me. 'Speaking truth to power', is what politicians like to call it....
Do the new regulations mean all contracts agreed and signed by both tenant and landlord will be confined to the bin, or do terms off contract exist as long as tenancy?

Yes, but that's the point, LL doesn't have to give a reason, which doesn't mean to say, there isn't one!
