Reply to the comment left by juliet bonnet at 30/10/2026 - 14:47My thoughts. However I 'think' there is a national meter register. They 'should' be able to tell you what company is down to supply that meter.

Just a point. I don't think that an in depth reading of the 1968 Theft Act is nessesasry to understand right from wrong. It may illuminate the margins, such as leaving money for something not for sale is still theft.

I have to say. This post really evidences the value of this 'site'. A real collection of knowledge about a subject I would have just said. 'Oh well Ill do it then.....'

You are fighting 'human nature'. Some years ago I let a property with 'bills included'. The electricy bill was staggering. The nest year instead of a rent rIse I fitted prepayment meters (complying with the law and charging ever so...

I'm going to add a bit to 'my article' above. I sent it in because I believe the RRA has 'inadvertently' created a doom loop. 1. If/when the lady clears her council debt and tries to access council housing again....

If let under an APT, then I believe - yes. If under the Room to Rent Scheme, then - no. This is because R2R is not a 'tenancy' within the scope of the legislation.

“The assessor must consider the likelihood of harm for someone in the most vulnerable age group rather than the actual occupant." Taken to its logical conclusion I take it we 'may' have to make all properties suitable for a tenant...

Reply to the comment left by Steve Rose at 15/09/2026 - 11:33Its the date the new rental came into 'effect'. Not the day the tribunal reassessed it. Therefore in effect you/we will always be a flowing (say) 6 months behind.

I think in t5ime the PRS Database may actually be a boon here.

Reply to the comment left by No hate plz at 09/09/2026 - 12:26In addition to the £5.50 dirert cost, there is the indirect cost of LL/MA time to register etc that needs squaring off.

Responding to the government’s announcement that HM Revenue and Customs’ Valuation Office will be responsible for decisions on challenges to rent increases in England, I strongly suspect there is a major hidden agenda here.

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 01/09/2026 - 08:09I really don't think they get it. It WILL become a tenancy database. And the more they press for additional detail the more it will become a useful tool...

Reply to the comment left by Mr Blueberry at 24/08/2026 - 08:20Surely. This in a business opportunity. I'm not sure if a LL could do this themselves. Set up an 'arms length' guarentor company. It should not be too difficult...
