Reply to the comment left by Paddy Murphy at 29/10/2026 - 18:58I wonder if it's a bit late for that as crash has been brewing a while. Those who watch the property auctions will have seen the desperation first hand...

But at least now they are calling for more social housebuilding, finally dawned that section 21 wasn't the panacea they claimed 🤣

Just had one tribunal say no increase was justified, despite a previous tribunal saying £400 increase was appropriate for same property. Can't be ar$ed anymore. Good luck finding cheaper elsewhere (with tribunal history on your record - they are public...

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...

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...
