For heavens sake look at European rented accomodation deposits; most countries landlords require up to 3 months deposit and 2 months rent upfront! And believe me when a property is checked when a tenant leaves, a mark/ scratch /damage, the...

I am happy to say one of my tenants qualified for the warm homes grant and they are thrilled with the difference the solar panels are making to their lives. As Ed is being pushed hard to hand over his...

Besides I thought we already had rent controls as we can't put up rents more than once a year ... but I thought that was always the case anyway?

Thank you for helping my knowledge grow re section 6. I rent out my leasehold flat, the council is the freeholder. Several years ago, but after my current tenant moved in, the council made known their intention to demolish the...

Thank you for an excellent contribution. I am waiting for the first PRS individual landlord to be fined £40K for some minor oversight, or misdemeanor, and watch the landlords selling avalanche start... Which council is going to set that ball...

It's Chatty Sally again…. well this government was warned this would happen and perhaps there will be another influx of people coming to our shores from the Middle East that may, strangely enough want somewhere to rent… and have the...

Absolutely right! The corporate landlords and their lobbyists will hold the power in the future. More money for the rich and tough luck to the vulnerable from a very unworking class government!!!! Local councils can't rehouse people one at a...

to David 100, what you have said is soh true, and because landlords in the PRS have been stripped of practically all their rights, I'm sure many tenants really believe they have the right not to pay the rent !!!!...

Shelter can't be trusted,,, they're just buttering up to find ways PRS landlords have found to manage the situation to survive, then scupper it. Anyone with any knowledge of the rental market knows the majority of landlords didn't/don't serve Section...
