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....

A lot of us are midway through even more expensive 5 year fixes. Abolish Section 24 and do all tenants a favour. Even though Section 24 only affects about 20% of landlords we own around 50% of rental properties. Unaffected...

The quarterly submission bit is just about OK. There's an overwhelming choice of software out there for that. However, now the goalposts have been moved and we are expected to pick a suitable software that can also do our final...

Having to give at least 2 months notice to end a tenancy is going to come as a bit of a shock to some tenants. This will often be closer to 3 months in reality. If someone gets a job...

As has already been said, it depends how much rent you are charging. If you're already at market rent you have been doing very nicely up to now. If it's below market rent your tenant (or the government) has been...

Reply to the comment left by Carole Stanton at 10/03/2026 - 10:31I'm using both Landlord Vision and Hammock. Hammock is cheaper and relatively easy to set up. It relies on AI to reconcile transactions, which sometimes gives unexpected results. Landlord...

Reply to the comment left by Carole Stanton at 10/03/2026 - 10:10Most of the landlord specific software does that perfectly, especially if you are just a straightforward 50/50 split. Most can cope with multiple owner, unequal splits just as easily....

Do they mean very few people have opted to do trial submissions? Some of us are waiting for the final touches to be put to the software we are using. I'm currently running 2 different ones to see if the...

Section 21 was a very good way of retaining tenancies. A tenant in arrears could wave a Section 21 at any low priority creditors and get a breathing space in which to reduce rent arrears. No one wants to be...

I left home at 16 and a landlord took a chance on me, so my attitude is based on that experience. I'm more flexible than some on who I will rent to but there are times when an applicant just...
