Unfortunately most trips to the vet are costly and no consideration has been given to the cost of this. Personally, I think its cruel to have a dog and go out to work all day leaving it alone. Tenants have...
I've just had 2 visits to the vet with my dog (Sunday and Monday). A urine test, a blood test and a couple of meds and I'm £500 down. That could easily equate to a tenant not paying the rent...
Reply to the comment left by Tim Peters at 31/03/2026 - 22:14Isn't the tenant 3 months in arrears after the end of the 2nd month? My brain is past it at this hour!

Section 24 is hugely anti landlord, but for me its all the special taxes just for landlords, the continual spiteful anti landlord rhetoric, endless regulation and over the top penalties are the reasons I dont want any more to do...
If you voted Labour, you voted for this. Why would any tenant vote labour? They can't have had any idea what was going to hit them. They dont seem to realise that all the anti landlord rhetoric, extra landlord taxation,...
I've sold 2, agreed 2 more, have 3 more due on the market soon and then will prepare sell the other 10. Unfortunately, if Reform dont get the point across that the RRB is bad for tenants, it may loose...

Reply to the comment left by Tim Peters at 31/03/2026 - 22:14You're right as the arrears are only building at £50 per month!
