The horse will not only have left the stable but probably emigrated before any government will acknowledge exactly who left the stable door open.

I think the days of new tenants being found by existing tenants are now over. The end of Section 21 and discrimination laws makes tenant selection a legal minefield with the landlord always responsible.

The time-frames already proposed in Scotland already bear little resemblance to the real world. Finding suitably qualified trades is already difficult, now imagine a tenant raising a complaint on a Friday before a bank holiday or Christmas Eve.

I am still not clear about things like gas checks, do we just renew these at the annual refresh date or is there another deadline e g. Within x days of the check? Are there automatic fines if a new...

One of the key aims of the RRA was to reduce the number of ex PRS tenants becoming eligible for public housing. Unfortunately the tenant is now trapped unless the landlord evicts under one of the compulsory grounds. Likewise the...

We are a convenient distraction to blame for the housing crisis, all parties are desperate to keep up this pretence - the public has been manipulated into believing we are rolling in cash and exploiting the poor.

I hope that you have complied with the gas and electric regulations, you will be forced to add these certificates to the new landlord register, the exact date depends on the properties location.

When even HMRC suggested software doesn't work it is not surprising landlords are struggling to keep up - the goal posts are not just moving they are leaping about at an ever increasing pace. More questions remain about EPC, still...

They also claim that the data will be available to local councils, I have little faith in security if every council jobsworth can see it.

My children are absolutely certain that they do not want to inherit a rental business, just too toxic and too much petty and constantly changing legislation bear traps.

If the prospective tenant does not pass the RGI criteria l am sad to say that I could no longer accept them as a tenant. That said my very worst tenants did pass prior to the tenancy starting. I see...

Note the small print here, the help lasts 'up to six months ', which means they will walk away after that point and all of the tenant issues are then up to the landlord (but you can bet they will...

Their comparison is entirely fraudulent. Company profits are calculated AFTER staff wages, very few landlords can pay themselves a wage to offset the income so in effect our income should be compared to turnover rather than profit.

The fundamental truth is that the cheapest rents are for the poorest quality homes - if you insist on everyone having heat pumps, the latest kitchen and bathroom they will have to pay considerably more I have an old car,...

If I have to comply (hoping the tenants will leave before the section 8 expires) I will definitely be buying a 'burner phone ' and probably including a code into my address so I will be able to spot problem...

Possibly overkill but in my regular inspections I have confirmation that no mould or damp is present and the tenants then sign the inspection as an accurate assessment (it also includes repairs both actioned and outstanding).

I would love just one of these charities to start worrying about 'Saving Private Landlords ' instead they keep beating the suppliers and ignoring the fundamental truth that without us there will be far fewer houses to rent.

Councils telling tenants not to leave has caused disturbance of my sleep - apparently that's serious harm. Any solicitors out there willing to sue the council for me?

I let a property to two males, should I put down one or two households, I genuinely don't know and I am not sure that the register should be advertising couples sexualities.
