Maybe for tenants on benefits make all rent payments directly to the landlords including top ups that could be deducted from tenants benefits at source. This would make it a much more attractive for landlords to take in tenants and...

I would say that if the government wants to enforce landlords to allow ev charging points to be installed, the government should take responsibility for subsequent maintenance. Also should the government afterwards want to perform a rug pull on maintenance,...

The problem for Shelter which has never housed anyone or had any experience of being a landlord themselves have only themselves to blame for the current scenario. They have spent years bullying landlords, causing many landlords to either exit the...

Reply to the comment left by Peter Merrick at 16/10/2026 - 08:04I couldn't agree more. Like councils with council tax. I had east riding council send me a £90 fine because due to east riding councils computerised online payment system...

The Greens have got less brainpower for helping tenants than Ed Miliband has for helping people's energy costs. As a footnote I'm sure that if Ed Miliband was to have his brain dissected you would find less functional brain cells...

Policies of envy. Like anything to do with councils. Planning inspectors that are clueless flagging things up incorrectly that costs landlords lots of money to change then require putting back to how it was originally when someone else comes along...

They definitely should unfreeze the LHA and pay landlords directly. Also the top up should go to landlords directly. This would alter the situation whereby people on benefits find it almost impossible to find accommodation available for them to rent....

I agree that their needs to be a penalty system in place for blatant non compliance, though when problems such a deliberate damage to fire alarm systems are caused by bad tenants and late night partying etc then all the...

If a landlord claims on insurance for pet damage. The insurance company should be able to make a claim against the tenants to recoup all costs to help encourage responsible pet ownership.

One simple change would drastically reduce needs for eviction and drastically reduce the likelihood of requiring bailiffs is this. The courts systems should be changed so that when a landlord takes a tenant to court. If the landlord wins the...

Rent freeze's will diminish further available properties to rent whilst landlords rush in rent increases before these draconion policies get enacted. I also reckon banks will be reluctant to let landlords obtain buy to let loans unless they charge much...

Yes that's true and it's quite right that rent is optional so the tenant's can spend their rent allowance on big telly's booze and whatever illegal substances they want with any redress or consequences whilst landlords provide rent free accommodation...

I've had a work done last year on a flat that qualified for a grant because my tenant is on benefits. This was for wall insulation and solar panels on the roof that would supposedly reduce his energy bills to...

I'm definitely going to sell when tenants leave as I want out from the hostile environment this and the last government has created for small landlords. As the epc deadlines approach I'll be giving notice to the rest of my...

That last government took a wrecking ball to all PRS landlords and this government is taking great delight in swinging it vigorously with the intention of smashing all existing non corporate landlords out of business. Say no more.

With EPC B brcoming law soon for large commercial buildings, it will only be another year or so before they have another stab private residential landlords by making it law for them to shell out again on further upgrades whilst...

As and when tenants move out up until energy performance rating of c becomes mandatory, I'll be selling any properties that become vacant. Also having mostly victorian properties and under this current extremely anti small landlord regime. I won't waste...

Sounds a bit sketchy to me. Also thought private landlords are forbidden to take rent payments upfront. I guess someone from the council will see a great opportunity to fine these helpful landlords £40.000 Being a landlord now you're walking...

Of the section 21 evictions I have done 12 altogether over the previous 20 years. Of those None because I wanted the property vacant. Four because of drugs and antisocial behaviour and property damage. The last eight because of rent...

Come July and August, all the landlords that have issued section 21 notices just before the beginning of May deadline will very likely be having to issue court summons. That's when the government will no longer be able to swiftly...
