Reply to the comment left by Jireh Homes at 01/04/2020 - 18:06God no I don’t work for Shelter! But from what I have read, I know you don’t like them, and think that their only motive is to ruin your...
I would just like to take the opportunity to reassure you all that Shelter did NOT deceive ANYBODY with this advert. The case is genuine. The reason I know this is because I know the parties involved. The junior doctor...
Hi. Thank you for your comments. I am actually the lodger and I was given a month to leave which runs out today. My next place fell through, so I have nowhere to go. The police told me they would...
Reply to the comment left by Monty Bodkin at 10/03/2020 - 22:22You can’t tar everybody with the same brush. There are working people who don’t pay their rent, have lots of parties, use drugs and have pets who damage their...
I did ask them this and it’s because they have to allocate the funds which they are given specifically in particular amounts, and if they were guaranteeing people’s rent, they would have no means of knowing if that person would...

A rent increase shouldn’t trigger a transfer over to Universal Credit, because it is not a “change or circumstances”, such as a change of address. Your tenant’s claim for Housing Benefit should be unaffected, but if the council require him...
Reply to the comment left by Frederick Morrow-Ahmed at 01/03/2020 - 10:55Exactly. Landlords are getting enough bad press already, without creating any more with stupidity like this. I have had some terrible landlords, but mostly it has been because they...
Honestly Landlord10, why do you want to make an enemy of your tenant, just so that you can receive rent from 16th to 21st March from him, as well as from your new tenant? You would have had the same...

Hi Andy. I can’t believe nobody has answered this before. You need your tenant’s new address, as you can’t harass the next of Kin. A writ cannot legally be obtained to collect any money from them, or seize goods. But...

I have sat in on several cases, and I have seen some shocking examples where the Judge hasn’t had a clue about the law. Surely you have seen the same Mick during your time as a landlord. This is why...
It’s a good point. A tenant can put their big scary dog in kennels for a week, and the landlord be none the wiser. But they are saying “well-behaved pet” here, so a dog that is blocking the landlord from...
Reply to the comment left by Dr Rosalind Beck at 04/01/2020 - 15:19So it will be illegal for a landlord to turn away a tenant on the basis that they have a rottweiler, or six cats? Really? Look how difficult...

Or am I missing something? I have read pages and pages of what sounds like extreme paranoia about Shelter. I just don’t understand.

Be careful-it will be disability discrimination next if you refuse to rent to a tenant with a dog for her anxiety.

They just do not seem to understand that if they restored LHA rents, they would significantly reduce their homelessness problem.
