When every illegal migrant that arrives in an inflatable dingy gets given a room in a 4-star hotel and 3 square meals and some pocket money, the obstacle to homelessness is clearly not cash or imagination. The point at which...

If there was a National Database of tenants, all these things would be logged. It might act as a deterrant for tenants to act this way. This tenant probably moved on and did the same to the next landlord.

The house in the video looks like either a council flat or council temporary accommodation. None of my houses look like this and no self-respecting landlord would rent a house that looks like the one in the video. I feel...

Most insitutions out there, including the Labour government, have not yet joined the dots: Struggling Landlord = Homeless Tenant It needs to be spelled out. I agree with the comments above.

This is a really terrible story, Jag. It is the ONLY possible outcome of over 3 decades of systemic failure by successive governments, as you so correctly put it. The failure of keeping people accountable and teaching them that they...

Can someone explain why some papers say that she "ejected" her tenants, and not "evicted"? Does that make it sound nicer? Or more legal?

Having in the past helped the Council (Manchester and Oldham) with housing their tenants, I shall never do it again. As soon as the tenants have an AST, the council will wash their hands off any and all responsibility. One...

I agree with Cider Drinker. Serve a S21 and get a decent person who will pay the rent on time.

This nonsense aside, I am in favour of a MEANINGFUL landlord database, where we can upload EPC, How to Rent guidels, EICR, GSC etc. for every property, so there is never any doubt as to whether they were served or...

Thank you to Simon Fletcher for taking this initiative. I have signed it. It will be tough to get to 10,000 signatures though.

As I have always said - If they are looking for the cliff edge in the numbers of properties, they won't find it. Landlords are selling as and when a property becomes vacant. So the graph will look like a...

Hi Michelle, Issue a S21 while you still can It is not affected by Breathing Space. You will have to go through the eviction process again, but without a court hearing. It will still be faster if your tenant decides...

Even without the warnings from other landlords about working with Serco, I find it morally wrong that illegal immigrants who have not paid a penny of tax into this country should be given priority over UK nationals and legal immigrants....

Oldham Council sent me an environmental notice threatening £2,000 fine when my tenants filled the yard with rubbish. When I cleared the rubbish, my tenants suddenly discovered that they had access to a "free" rubbish removal service. I got them...

What I find perverse is that the housing crisis in the UK has translated into the persecution of landlords. I have friends and family in other European countries (France, Germany, Denmark and Greece). The shortage in housing stock is an...

When applying for the Warrant of Possession (Form N325) to the bailiffs, you will need the Possession Order number from the court. I wasn't asked for a hard copy. Have a look at form N325 (Request for Warrant of Possession)....

It should read: "Britain's tenants have handed over an astonishing £327m in fees".

"A tenant discovered that £500 had been deducted from his benefits without consultation". No sh*t. Imagine how a landlord feels when they discover that a full month's rent has been deducted from their income without consultation. Or the taxpayer, when...

Same here. It's not going to look like a cliffedge on a graph. It will be a continuous attrition of properties.

Baroness Bybrook's amendments to S21 for small landlords indirecty acknowledge 2 things: 1. The courts can't manage now let alone with the extra workload 2. S21 is issued for a good reason. Is it so difficult to acknoweldge both probelms...
