The Redress scheme is neither transparent, nor unbiased and their complaint system is virtually non-existent. The office is not government run. It is privately run and it charges landlord for everything from memberships to lodging a response and paying fines....

A couple of losses in the elections and may be it's time for the U turn again. I.am also hoping that any new councils will simply.not pursue any of the central government's legislations and the law will die through natural...
It's how they will deal with it that is in doubt. If they start throwing out each application with the most minor or mistakes then that is not clearing the backlog. That is simply cooking the books or ticking the...
If the police breaks something, shouldn't they pay? Why should an unrelated party have to fork out any damage caused by someone, more so, someone with authority? Can you not claim from the police through a victim's compensation scheme?
It looks like we are heading towards a left wing, socialist, third world economic policies that this country doesn't deserve. What person in the right mind would want to be a landlord under this situation? It's like all landlords are...
The tenants should be permitted to have the property checked for any issues, after which, it should be on to the tenants. Landlords may have had dozens of families lived in the property previously and no issies at all.Then, in...

From absurd to stupidity. Does anyone in the politics know anything about business or lettings? They have broken good relationships between landlord and tenants. By giving free homes, they have also broken the United families. How evil are these policies!
What I am interested to know is what can a landlord do if the tenant breaks the rules? For example, he doesn't give a notice, he doesn't pay the rent, he thrashes the place, he makes a false excusation against...
Any safety measures is for the residents who live in. Smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, gas safety test, electrical safety test. These are checked by the tenant before they move in. Since it is for their safety, why not give...
I had a foreign accent woman called me from the council who told me that there is no need to give gas certificate to the tenant within 28 days of being issued. She asked me if I had engaged a...

It is best to take legal advice, especially now when all the laws and sympathy is against the landkords. No doubt, the legal eagles will have a party at the landlords' espense but when the wind is blowing against us,...
