Why exactly do they need a date of birth - I recently attended a talk about fraud prevention given by the local police and they told us to never put our real date of birth on a public document.

Nothing on the link about a guarantor replacement - I wonder if the article is confusing guarantor and deposit as they are offering a temporary deposit replacement where the tenants are expected to gradually save up the deposit once they...

Younger landlords set to reshape PRS

9th September 2026, 4 days ago

How can we keep paying these people to just repeat what landlords have been saying ever since the act was proposed - this is not news or some form of discovery just an example of how out of touch the...
