Social housing is subsidised by tax payers and always below private market rents. Inflation, limited supply and misguided policy are the drivers of rising rents; perhaps too politically thorny for Loughborough Uni to mention?

The analysis is off the mark; rents won't be above what the market can bear because the new post-RRA market is rapidly rising rents. The government has created a rising tide and all the boats are headed one way.

The high cost of renting is at the centre of the cost of living crisis?? High rents are a consequence of inflation (government money printing), increasing landlord costs (government regulation), shrinking supply (government again folks!). If they want voters to...

Got to smile at this nonsense. I’m sure there has been a deluge of Americans who decided to leave behind LA for Lerwick!

We left the NRLA after seeing their weak lobbying during the build up to the RRA. After several years of mediocre service, that was the straw…

Such demands are so shortsighted. They always fail to see that: - Rent controls lead to higher rents - "High" rents are a consequence of inflation and supply and demand; the government influences both, not landlords - Rent has to...

It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that the government introduces a green tax penalty on rental properties below EPC 'C'; the vast majority being older stock held by small landlords - the government's preferred target.

Little point analysing pre-tax ROE from years before Section 24 had taken full effect. Analyse today's post-tax "profit" for an average landlord and see if they're "supernatural". If rent control was a good idea there wouldn't be a risk of...

I am interested to see how 'market rent' is determined by the court once some cases have been considered. I'm assuming they won't be satisfied with the common or garden check on Right Move!

Requiring landlords to ascertain the legal status of a prospective tenant always was a deliberate dereliction of duty by the Home Office. Another example of the camel's nose under the tent.

Shouldn't this have been raised months ago when the bill was being "consulted" and the NRLA was busy acquiescing on landlords' behalf?

You seem to indicate that from 2016 until recently there was no management company after the last one was fired by the freeholders. Therefore, how did the freehold company meet its statutory and legal requirements? This is context you should...

If we experienced a 'surge' in stop over tenants we would drop the break clause from our ASTs. If this resulted in properties re-letting more slowly then we would have mis-read the market demand, but I don't think so.

I interpret Jacqueline's post differently. While most of us have room to make some more efficiencies and others could perhaps be a little more 'business focused', Jacqueline's approach and experience represents that of a great many of us in the...

Mr Cox sells mortgages and therefore has to talk his book. Us knowing landlords understand the real market is far less rosey.

Why not take the path of least resistance and accept Open Rent's offer. You only have 2 months quibble and I'm guessing your gut is telling you the tenant and her associates are a lost cause? Keep focused on your...

The state welfare system is on track to go bust; victimising landlords to subsidise the living expense of niche tenant groups is titivating around the edges of a systemic problem. Either, taxes are raised significantly on all working people to...

I had thought they were disallowing upfront rental payments, of which what you outline will surely be regarded as such regardless of the label put on the payment? I suspect it wouldn't pass the sniff test alas.

The councillor should focus his energy on asking why is there such burgeoning demand for HMOs? And, what hand has his affiliated political party had in allowing such a demand to come about? Easier to blame those landlords though.
