A middle aged woman forced into a hmo by a local authority. Where is the outcry? Where are our activist charities? Where are the "heartless landlord" headlines? Sadly the RRA does not protect tenants looking for accomodation, it actively harms...

My wife and I have done the inspectors course for the original HHSRS scheme. It was incredibly complicated and the chap running the course had to cheat/guide everyone through the exam to get them to pass. He accepted that many...

Reply to the comment left by Ricky Hopkins at 02/09/2026 - 05:24I've been in property for decades and have heard that warning many times. The truth is that there is a shortage of houses and flats and increasing demand. Owners...

Hi. I've had similar situations. Contact DWP / universal credit in writing declaring the rent arrears and asking for the rent to be paid directly to you, the tenants may have said they are paying you and have no arrears....

All council houses should be let at market rents, those in work would move on to become home owners/follow new opportunities, those out of work could use their benefits to pay their rent, as my tenants do, those who illegally/immorally...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 23/06/2026 - 09:16This is exactly the action that the NRLA should be taking, protecting it's members, who do after all pay all of their salaries! Bankrupt left wing local authorities with...

Many people are missing the point of all of these changes. We have a government and local authorities who are waging an ideological war on "evil " landlords. No amount of reasonable argument can move an indoctrinated mind. This is...
