Reply to the comment left by northern landlord at 14/07/2025 - 10:38Absolutely...100% I used to think that all the articles on here were meant to be honest and unbiased. But time and again I feel duped when I get to...

I think Shelter understands the housing crisis better than anyone. Shelter thrives on the housing crisis. No crisis, no donations, No Shelter.

What no-one ever seems to take into account with these 'evictions' is the amount of times tenants actually ask their landlords to serve notice to evict them so their application for social housing is given priority.

Reply to the comment left by Seething Landlord at 15/06/2023 - 14:23I suspect (if my area is anything to go by) its only 'selective' in as much as the excluded areas will be selected at a later date. Our licenses...

Welcome to my world....in fact, lots of people's worlds. Local councils are just after a big slice of your cake. Sopranos style. Don't try to find a valid justification. You will get nothing for your money - just a receipt....

Compensation? Hmmm. Sounds like a rather grubby way of trying to get some free money for something that was willingly entered into. Unless of course there was a window and the landlord bricked it up. Is that what happened?

I've had a similar tenant for 15 years. I expect that one day I'll get the property back in right state. Leave him be I'd say...Imagine if in that 20 year period you'd had tenants in and out, rent arrears,...

Reply to the comment left by Philip Savva at 01/05/2022 - 10:41Shelter couldn't give a monkey's about tenant's rights. That's evident by their disinterest in helping people on the streets. They are simply a business that makes its money by...

We're all wasting our time commenting on this issue on this particular forum. Its only being read by like-minded people who are painfully aware of the landlord witch-hunting of recent years and the blatant manipulation of statistics by ill-informed (at...

Reply to the comment left by at 19/01/2022 - 18:39The let is fully managed by a letting agent, so no, I wasn't reading meters. I was just opening letters from the Debt collection agency that British Gas sold the debt...

Reply to the comment left by David Price at 19/01/2022 - 13:24You've been lucky. I was sent a bill by a debt collection agency supposedly for an unpaid bill with British Gas. The figure was way too high for standing...

Yes, they have more issues than you can shake a stick at. Everyone's been involved, you name 'em they've been consulted, MP's, council, social services, doctors, animal welfare, tenant's family, guarantor...list is endless. Letting agent has a file as thick...

Leaving aside all the liability stuff, two things occur to me regarding the actual tiles: One: I'd be very surprised if old tiles of that style can't be found via architectural reclamation yards or websites (like Salvo) and two: Is...

Get a good agent in. That'll square 'em back. Offset the cost of the agent with the saving you'll make on the tenants ridiculous whims.

Is there no case for a complaint to the Advertising Standards people?

Surely the suggestion is too ludicrous to be practical? Its like me hiring a cement-mixer for a week then saying ''actually, I like it so much I demand the right to buy it, at substantially less than its value. And...

I can see both sides to this argument and can see why cynics would see it as a penalty for late payment but what if the 'cashback' was being applied to EARLY payments. ie pay your rent before the due...
