Laughable, I see they give no timelines for FTT where I have an outstanding rent assessment application since April and same tenants applied April 25 no tribunal decision till Sept 25 , thankfully they backdated it.

Seriously, who would give a dishonest reference to get rid of a bad tenant ? I would never give a reference to a less than perfect tenant. Mind you I would never again take a less than perfect tenant :-)

I've heard generation rant saying "there is no downside to applying to rent tribunals" so go ahead - you might at least get six months delay. But they forget that tribunal decisions are public domain so I advise any landlords...

I don't think I'm afraid, just sick and tired of all the dreary legislation. I'm from a generation that built a relationship with tenants who generally used the deposit as the last month's rent before happily moving on. So long...

Yes very much agree with this except that I would never take out rent insurance. Insurance companies don't pay out more than they take in premiums so way better to self-insure, but use their criteria and you can't lose.

I prefer tenants who don't need guarantors

Why would you go out of your way to accommodate sub-standard tenants ?

Pretty sure that a boyfriend would not be classed as a family member by the council . There needs to be a lawful connection. Otherwise the whole system would be open to abuse.

In my manor of east London , offers of advance rent are a clear sign of a potential Grow and avoided even more that sub-standard tenants. Lucky I no longer have these worries and will never grant a new tenancy.

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 11/12/2025 - 10:59I no longer bother with deposits either, 4 weeks rent is nothing compared to the loss a bad tenant can cause. Just choose tenants very very carefully. When I...

I was hanging in there but recent court experience with benefit leeching tenants has taught me an expensive lesson. But just selling one at a time as don't want a bunch of empty properties in a dead market. Never again...

Reply to the comment left by Simon F at 19/03/2025 - 11:09That link seems to be saying the exact opposite in that councils can, and do dictate what must go in an AST. Specifically many London Boroughs require anti-social behaviour...

Reply to the comment left by Simon F at 18/03/2025 - 12:37Interesting. LBN seem to get round the 24 hour notice requirements by simply saying they will be visiting anytime in the next month and just expecting tenants to let...

As has been said you can buy in sole name. You can be your own freeholder you just can't grant a lease to yourself. Leave the short lease then just grant a new one when you sell. CGT then simple.
