I bet they didn't look at what rents were (or how long they had been held at that rate) prior to the change of tenant. Most landlords keep rent low for years and rarely raise it for a good tenant,...

Pahahaha!!!! Yeah right! Let's not forget to include in our sums the huge amount of rent arrears that the new bill will add via the extra 2 months 'grace period' renters will have to not pay rent before eviction proceedings...

Has Andy Burnham ACTUALLY looked around his area and/or read the analysis of property sales experts like Rightmove and Zoopla?? There is ALREADY a landlord exodus worsening the rental housing crisis, but just like Pennycook he prefers to bury his...

Raising the LHA will only go some way towards solving these issues - the real problem, and the reason for the escalating rents, is the number of landlords who are fed up with being treated like a charity (expected to...

All too easy to criticise the decision to raise SDLT but did any of them actually lobby the government on landlords' behalf BEFORE the budget? Shelter et al have got what they want because they have been well and truly...

I don't think I'd evict under the circumstances but I would be inclined to write to her and say that whilst you are happy for the installation to remain in the property whilst she continues to live there, it must...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 25/10/2024 - 17:58Thank goodness I haven't joined the NRTA (clearly they are no longer a LANDLORDS association!) - would hate to think of my membership money funding a group that welcomes...

There is a massive amount of administrative work that forms a significant part of a landlord's job: Advertising properties. Taking phone calls/dealing with enquiries. Shortlisting applicants. Checking their documents including right to rent. Referencing and credit checks. Conducting viewings. Issuing...

Anyone else notice the increase in articles lately about councils asking for help from private landlords to work with them to house/keep housed their tenants, or making out that investing in rental property is still a viable solution? Anyone would...

Reply to the comment left by Mr Blueberry at 23/10/2024 - 12:27How do you know when government ministers are lying? Simple - their mouths move! Another pitiful attempt to distract from the impending catastrophe that their policies will bring about,...

All fair comments in the article but will government listen? Probably not because Shelter et al shout much louder. As for landlords being responsible for signposting tenants to help mitigate arrears, or taking responsibility for tenants lifestyle choices in creating...

I'm pulling out of the PRS and ploughing all my cash into shares in Go Outdoors/camping companies as I suspect there will be a huge rush on tent purchases in the near future as the unintended consequences of the RRB...

Then I wonder at what point landlords will have a case for financial coercive control against the government who are effectively forcing landlords to remain in a toxic and abusive relationship that they cannot afford to leave? There must be...

They wouldn't understand basic economics if you slapped them with it. They have an axe to grind against landlords and that is all they care about - certainly not the tenants they claim to represent. Perhaps their rants would be...

So how is it the landlords responsibility if, for example, the inventory shows no signs of mould at the start of the tenancy, or after years of renting it out there have been no complaints by previous tenants or mentions...

So Zoopla's recent study which showed an increase in properties for sale that were previously rented is wrong? Don't think so. Perhaps the author isn't seeing it because she isn't actually looking (or reading the numerous posts on landlord forums/social...

I recently read a news article about how abusers use financial coercive control to prevent a partner from leaving a relationship, and it got me thinking about how these punitive new RRB regulations and potential increase in CGT is going...
