Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 04/06/2026 - 12:58Thank you Reluctant Landlord. I don't ever take anyone who fails affordability checks but would still like a guarantor for the reasonably hight earning prospective tenants I have lined...

Please can someone tell me which of 2 letting agents are correct? 1. You can have a guarantor for any tenant as long as you dont discriminate and do it for all your tenants 2. You can only have a...

I have been insisting on a home owning guarantor for a few years now. Unfortunately Land Registry is now so hopelessly out of date you can't reply on it being correct. I understood that under RRA you can now only...

Reply to the comment left by Robert Needham at 01/06/2026 - 12:27You are our guinea pig (excuse the pun) and the 1st on p118 to test the RRA on this. I look forward to hearing how you get on, Good...

Reply to the comment left by Disgrunteld Landlady at 01/06/2026 - 04:45If I hadn't received proper receipts for issuing the RRA info sheet from my letting agent by mid May, I did it myself as its the LL who gets...

170 rules and regulations and now the RRA - it goes a bit beyond my 'Armchair' investment

My thoughts exactly. With my remaining properties (I've already sold some), the second any tenant misbehaves its bye bye. I've told my letting agent so it will filter through

And no one even bothered to look into the reasons why section 21 was issued.

Reply to the comment left by Gemma Sayer at 22/05/2026 - 02:22My understanding is that you wont be able to let a property with EPC D. Are you saying that if the tenants are already in situ, a D rating...

They didn't say thay gave sleeping tablets. The poor dogs quality of life must be awful. Total boredom, in mny opinion, even having a dog walker is insufficient when the owners out all day

Is it possible to evaluate the cost of a pet and consider if their income is enough to cover this and their rent?
