And is there any truth in comments I have read elsewhere suggesting that the Government are paying for illegals / boat people/etc. to stay in hotels/hostels etc. £125 per night ! (£875 per week/£3,750 per month !!) please tell me...

Hi David, I do understand the implied obligation we landlords have regarding tenants possessions. My response was therefore a little tongue-in-cheek. However, IF I was in that situation - Loss of rental income, unpaid rent , midnight flit, no forwarding...

Surely, under the circumstances you describe, rubbish is rubbish and not actually 'possessions' in the accepted meaning of the word.. I would have been inclined to leave it out - bit by bit - for the binman. And, perhaps leave...

Surely the number one reason for so many homeless is the uncontrolled number of immigrants entering this country. Labours plan for building a million plus homes, during the present government, might just house those immigrants that enter our country during...

Well said. I am reminded of the old saying "there are none so death as those who don't want to hear" (or something like that). Also have to say it was good to learn of the Reform wins.

Having renovated, rebuilt, and restored a number of properties over the years and been a landlord for the past 20 years I'd like to add my comments on the situation Joe finds himself in. Joe, I think you have only...

I agree with the two previous comments. Let the Bailiffs do their job. If the tenant has not been able or unwilling to pay the rent and you have been through the legal process correctly. Accept this, do all the...

28th December 2023, 2 years ago

It would seem that we have a variety of suggestions most of which seem valid. However it is about time the OP (Matt) offered some more detail and clarification regarding the situation.

What an absolute mess this country, our country ?, is in. I can't see an end to the housing shortage problem. Tens of Millions of pounds being spent every day to provide temporary accommodation. Would this not be better spent...

Reply to the comment left by Nikki Palmer at 12/07/2023 - 08:59Assuming a 6 month AST. The 2 months refers, I understand, to the time of giving notice before end of tenancy.

Hi Maz, Being a landlord is difficult enough now days. For a first time landlord you would be best advised to get yourself informed on ALL the legal requirements BEFORE you sign on the dotted line. I agree with some...
