Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 22/04/2026 - 12:08Councils made themselves the enemy many years ago - it's a bit like Shelter really....campaigning for change and imposing rules, regulations and fines on non compliance and attacking landlords...

Not only has this approach alienated Landlords from helping local authorities but it has, without a doubt, brought unnecessary stress to tenants who are in need of help. My prediction for the future is with Landlords serving a section 8...

You need to refer to the TOB you signed. Property 118 readers can only give you their opinion but haven't been provided with any further details than that you have provided. Have you checked to see that the deposit is...

I guess it's authorised by virtue of you agreeing for them to do it. I suspect they will also charge you to do a check out and/or release the deposit at the end, plus negotiate any deductions. Why is it...

Hahaha!! Most local authorities I know aren't able to compulsory purchase property that have been stood empty for years so they can bring them back into habitable occupation!

I predict the additional power given to local authorities causing problems! Their housing departments are under constant pressure to house people on their lists and are regularly approaching landlords and agents to see if they are willing to offer them...

I'm intrigued and would welcome comments and/or assistance from members I recently looked at the sale particulars for a family member's property. They are without a doubt eco warriors and are going to save the planet single handed! (Thank you!)...

Can the Government not allocate £20 million towards more housing or supporting the Landlords currently providing it? This approach is not mending a broken system but just encouraging more victim-like behaviour

Failure to provide information to the occupier (regulation 3) £3,000 That's ambiguous ......I've lost count how many times I've had to provide written instruction to tenants that they completely disregard; some have had to have information repeated several times. Some...

I only ever use reputable local heating engineers and the only problem I have ever experienced was with Hometree. However, I am also aware that there is a high percentage of tenants who don't know how to operate the programmer,...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 09/09/2025 - 08:06Surely with the proposed abolition of a fixed term, any Landlord, if they wished could provide 'temporary' accommodation on that very same basis. There would be more breaches of...

It's sad to see any one having to live in such conditions but exactly whose fault is it that there is a 'temporary accommodation crisis ' which has been going on for far too long? How about Shelter building some...

Unless I have missed something, it would be interesting to know who was approached to answer questions on this survey .....was it people waiting in a bus stop somewhere?

I agree that taking the deposit makes sense and just persevere finding a new tenant. I assume the tenant agreed to you claiming the deposit and has surrendered the tenancy herself? I am also certain that Openrent are aware that...

All electrical appliances are a hazard if not used properly. Conventional ovens can be a fire hazard if they are not kept clean, together with chip pans, toasters, grills....fairly anything that combines grease and heat. I have experienced a property...

I'm not sure it will make a huge difference how many new bodies or organisations are introduced to extend tenant's awareness. I believe that tenants will still continue renting because they believe they then have no responsibility for the property...

If that was a Landlord in the PRS they would have the book thrown at them It's about time there was more of a level playing field in this industry, and I am not suggesting that should mean private Landlords...

"Supply and demand" Everything is costing more and unfortunately the costs are passed to the consumer - in this instance it is the tenants. Perhaps they need to look at the damage they and their buddies Shelter have caused

I wish I had seen the role advertised - I too can state that "Home is a fundamental human right" Unfortunately due to the increases in mortgage costs and tenants defaulting, Landlords are also under threat of facing decisions about...

My honest answer - it's money well spent if you need to be going back to basics by asking about what legislation you need to be adhering to and how to put the rent up. The fees are tax deductible...
