I have a property on Airbnb, in London under the 90 day rule. This gives me a reduced income but I am not prepared to let it again under an assured tenancy. Can anyone tell me what happens if I...

I had some rent act tenants in the 1970's and1980's and even after installing a new bathroom, new kitchen, new windows (1984) the rent officer only allowed an increase of £3.00/week and this increase was spread over a period of...

Labour expected the public to swallow this hogwash about building 1.5 million homes and now they are trying to backtrack, just as the Conservatives have done previously.

This tin - eared government were never prepared to listen to landlords. Some of my best tenants were from overseas who paid 6 months in advance and stayed for several years. Not surprised they are now having difficulties finding property...

Reply to the comment left by Richard Dean at 11:03 I have read on another forum that it had been discussed in parliament to get rid of section 24 and replace it with rent controls. Having experienced rent controls pre...

I hope I am wrong but I think if a tenant now moves in and has agreed a certain rent he might be able to apply to the tribunal to have it assessed. I know Pennycook was in favour of...

I can envisage Battersea dogs and cats home having to build another wing to accommodate abandoned animals when reality dawns and some starry-eyed tenants cannot pay vet bills and other expenses associated with owning a pet. Having experience good and...

You are spot on! When Andy gives the left wing Mayors like Sadiq Khan autonomy over housing one of the first things they will introduce are rent controls. It is just a matter of time.

This is crazy and how is this going to help the economy ? Sadiq Khan has created a shortage of these type of lets in London. Other parts of the country can let their properties for 365 days /year on...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 17:10 It would not surprise me if there is a ban on evictions within 3 years. We could then have mainstream lenders taking flight and prices dropping off a cliff. I...

What about the tenants who cause the mould like the 3 tenants I had who refused to use the tumble drier and caused a massive mould problem. It is high time these tenants were made responsible for their actions but...

The 1988 housing act was a logical solution that solved the housing problem and a great boost to the economy. We now have an acute shortage of council housing and lots of demand for private housing and the Government's solution...

Hi Richard I sympathise this is a very unfair situation. I had a slightly different problem when Newham council had just introduced selective licensing throughout the borough. Newham informed my mortgage company that I was operating a HMO. and they...
