Landlord for 20 years. South of England. I use an agent. I'm fairly hands on but leave the documentation to the agent.

If renters are struggling, so are home owners. But it's not just the cost of rent, it's electricity, gas, water rises, plus wages have not risen by inflation. It's not all on the shoulders of landlords.

£1,650 to £1,700 rent rise is a 3% increase which is reasonable. The tribunal probably sent a valuer out and the rent came back at less than the landlord is currently getting.

Reply to the comment left by Jonathan Veers at 20/10/2026 - 05:40Yes it's true Jonathan, the Council wait is long. But the owner/occupier who buys the rental property may have been a renter, thus leaving a (private) rental property vacant...

Reply to the comment left by Jonathan Veers at 19/10/2026 - 06:01The properties may be removed from the rental pool, but they still exist. Either they are bought by an owner/occupier who will therefore no longer need a rental, or...

Reply to the comment left by Mick Roberts at 17/10/2026 - 09:50Renting is a business. I/you provide a property in exchange for rent. I/you can be a considerate landlord, but the numbers have to add up.

Will I receive a refund from Brighton & Hove Council for the 'selective licence' fee I have already paid in a different Ward?

Those entering the UK on a visitors' visa, e.g., don't have the right to rent but wouldn't be prevented from entering the UK at the border. Then there are overstayers who entered the UK with a visa but have not...

The constant sentiment: 'landlords will raise rents to cover the additional costs', just isn't possible. The market dictates achievable rent. Additional costs of database registration, local council special licensing, EPC requirements, etc, etc, would be more than the market rent.

Reply to the comment left by Keith Wellburn at 27/09/2026 - 07:55Yes, thanks, I have now seen your reply. I feel a LL register is good if it reduces the 'rogue' operators who bring a bad name to other LL....

It's not only tenants who may have had stalkers at their address. Landlords too. I am not at all comfortable with my address being public.

The rent disclosure doesn't concern me. It may concern a tenant though. Not everyone wants the world to see what their outgoings are. My agent will do the registration. They have all the documents. I have copies. A professional landlord...

Reply to the comment left by Mick Roberts at 12/09/2026 - 10:20It's not always possible to add these extra costs to the rent annually and still get a rent increase equal to the rate of inflation. If one could, that...

How will this scheme manage to capture those landlords who do not currently comply with any of the regulations, do not declare tax, and do not provide 'decent' housing? i.e. 'rogue' landlords.

Same in Brighton. The Council explained it to me referencing hotel bookings: If I book a room for 1st September, I pay for that night. I vacate the room on 2nd September, so I don't pay for that night. In...

Is George Bangham aware that landlords pay tax on income, now at a 2% surcharge, and already pay NI, reduced because they are self-employed and are not eligible to receive the full range of benefits? If I have to pay...

I almost always used a home owner as a guarantor. That system worked well. If the tenant didn't pay the rent, the guarantor was obliged to pay it. Now, I no longer ask for a guarantor. Instead I take rent...
