Unintended benefit of removing s21?

21st July 2025, 9 months ago

So with a Landlords Register my personal home address is going to be available for public viewing or can I use my Solicitor's address as I do now? Surely to God, its a Tenant's Register that's needed?? Atm all the...

I've let all my tenants, including long term ones, go. I'm too old for all this sh1t. The money from the Property sales is in the bank (apart from investing in a classic car and treating myself to a top...

Dear Tenant, As you know, in an attempt to help you out I have allowed you to stay in my property for several years always at several hundred pounds per month below average rents. I'm afraid I have to inform...

I've been wondering why a Tenant/Landlord system which, on the whole, worked very well for decades suddenly needed changing. It DIDN'T!! But every change made is costing Landlords more and filling the coffers of LA's and Government. So basically they...

The "Tenants from Hell" who stop paying rent and force sleepless nights on good honest Landlords, drag their eviction out for 18 months, cost the Landlord thousands in legals, then leave his property needing a complete refurb, must be laughing...

Even though there are possibly 100x as many Rogue Tenants, there's no money for the powers that be with Tenants. Whereas Landlords are easy pickings.

The lettings market was virtually self governing and self controlling by market demand for years. If you had a bad Tenant you just put the matter in the hands of your Solicitor and he served a Sec 21. I've only...

Yet more reasons for good Landlords to sell up and get out.

So for an errant Tenant who has stopped paying their rent as has been served a Sec 21 (for now) what a lovely opportunity to get back at a landlord this presents!! Just dump some rubbish and the landlord pays...

I have let all my Tenants go and am selling everything. Too many restrictions. Not enough profit. And after my last lot of tenants I'll be glad to get out. I can't imagine the nightmare of not being able to...

Move it down the road and leave it. No longer your problem. If it's not taxed or insured might be the Police or LA remove it and tenant will face consequences. It's your word against his that he left the...

Yet again a money making Landlord cash cow designed to NOT just deal with the few rogue Landlords but even the decent honest conscientious ones! I had husband and wife tenants then every visit her 'sister' was there. It's only...

Get him to put his withdrawal in writing. Then negotiate directly with him explaining what you have in your post. It may well be you can reach a 50/50 compromise. This can then be forwarded to your Deposit Scheme.

I haven’t managed to work out who exactly benefits from this Renter's Rights Bill. Obviously Landlords are selling up and getting out. Tenants are facing an ever shrinking pool of available properties and thus increased rents. The Gov will lose...

Just like everything else this Gov does there is an alterior motive. Have you not wondered why we are so keen to back Ukraine for instance? It now transpires there are billions of £££ in rare earth metals. Or why...

I agree with your husband- and bear in mind it may not go as far as Court. I would get the gutter fixed immediately then make sure your paperwork is in order. Check your AST for clauses which may cover...

I had Tenants exactly like this. It seems you have gone to a lot of time, expense, and trouble to appease this situation and none of this is your fault. In my situation: I had had no problems with damp...
