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...

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...
