Would using flawed MTD software that puts in the wrong figures be deemed to be a careless mistake or would it be OK if the end of year submission corrects the flawed data?

So much for one platform. It has me as landlord 1, 2 and 3. 1 and 3 show custodial deposits arranged by Open Rent. One of them should still be current but the other one is ancient history, as the...

The RRA has made it incredibly difficult for marginal tenants. The LHA is way too low in most parts of the country to come anywhere close to even the cheapest available properties. As landlords we know many UC recipients will...

Social housing rents are ludicrously cheap. Insufficient to cover the cost of managing and maintaining Social housing stock. Wasn't there an article a few days ago saying the average annual Social rent is £1000 less than the average annual cost...

It's not for lack of trying in some cases. It took me numerous attempts to link my software to HMRC including 2 phone calls to HMRC and several messages to the software support team. I still can't get my husband's...

As long as your tax return is submitted promptly there shouldn't be too much difficulty. The main problem with the in advance payment system is when accountants leave it until around Christmas to prepare the tax return and the January...

It would be interesting to know what percentage of landlords have ever evicted anyone and what percentage of their tenants have been evicted during their time as a landlord. Also how many of us have served Section 21 notices with...

Social Housing providers increase rent every April in line with a government formula of September's CPI plus 1%. Surely the PRS should be able to use the same formula without any tenant recourse to a tribunal. Fair enough to have...

Obviously new tenants are referenced and credit checked. I know I have one who had a small CCJ when he first came to me 6 years ago and another one had a massive IVA when he came back to us...

Why would I? She's been a perfectly good tenant since 2009. Also I would need her consent to perform a credit search.

I have several tenants who receive UC top ups. As long as they are working and have children their incomes are usually ample. Single childless claimant's are incredibly short of money, so can only afford to rent properties that are...

As far as I am concerned the RRA completely supercedes all existing tenancy agreements. It isn't a pick and mix situation. Landlords can't pick which bits to abide by and which bits to revert to the original wording on the...

I can understand the need for a revised product now tenancies can be so short. If the new scheme is only applicable to new tenancies then I suppose it makes some sense. Forcing all existing long term tenancies onto it...

I've been using Landlord Vision for about 3 years and I tried Hammock alongside it for a year (as it is much cheaper). I wanted to like Hammock but I just couldn't. It does it's job and would be fine...

I'm in favour of RTB in theory. It's a good way of Social Housing providers off loading maintenance nightmares. It's a good way of people being fully invested in their local community. Someone who has a financial stake or incentive...

A Social Housing landlord is a Housing Association or Council.

"Homeless" is a very broad term. Do they mean rough sleeping homeless, sofa surfing, over crowded, temporary accomodation or facing eviction? Not all "homeless" people actually want the responsibility of a home. Not all are willing to co exist with...

Surely the fact there is a noticeable rush to beat the deadline means there wasn't a problem in the first place. Many of us were happy to continue housing mediocre tenants as long as Section 21 existed. Now a noticeable...

So, a month to issue any Section 21s and rent increase notices. I have never evicted anyone but now have to issue 3 Section 21s by the end of the month, purely to retain the house as a student house....
