Would a Charter for removing bad tenants easily, quickly and cheaply (aided by the Courts) have Good Landlords returning to the property market in droves?

So how are ev chargers installed for blocks of flats where there is a mix of garages in a separate block and parking spaces, and how is charging paid for and controlled? Do the electric companies have solutions for these...

Instead of fixing and removing the problems of both tenants and landlords, the RRA creates more problems for both, especially landlords.

Google says that only 2% of PRS properties are owned by Build To Rent developers, whereas Agencies say 25% of properties for sale on Zoopla, etc are PRS Landlords selling up. If these figures are right, is the Housing Minister...

Can you please clarify and give an example of what you mean by "all income should be taxed relative to the turnover of the sourcing organisation, apportioned by employee count or salary percentage". Many thanks.

Where are the criteria for "market rate rents" as properties vary by size, layout, location, amenities, quality of fittings, etc. and local properties may not have been let to new tenants for many years, so their rent levels may be...

Lower rates, reduced income tests, and lower stamp duty will all boost the housing market, and boost trades incomes.

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 14/01/2026 - 17:01You're right, an affordable property is out of reach if incomes have disappeared or reduced because of job insecurity and businesses not confident.

The Build to Rent (BTR) sector currently supplies 2% of the UK's private rented sector (PRS), and is eventually expected (by who is not clear) to grow to 35% - but this % is a guess, and , how many...

Thanks. So the accusations of a "uniparty" are justified. But Labour has denied themselves the opportunity to remedy the flaws in the Conservative proposal, and made things far worse for both landlords and tenants – rents have rocketed for tenants,...

Angela Rayner wanted this Act and ignored all the concerns by landlords, perhaps seeing them as biased and exaggerated. The real world may be a shock to her.

I agree with you, having had similar experience with so called legal experts.

Sounds good! I hope you are right 👍

I hope you're right. The problem with "guidance" is that it is open to interpretation and doesn't cover all aspects, so zealous councils can still fine people for having clauses they don't like that are not included in the RRA...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 09/01/2026 - 19:40However, the council may decide that the clauses you consider "fair" are unenforceable, and could fine you for including them. The only recourse is to replace existing contracts with...

You're missing my point. If councils are free to fine Landlords for having unenforceable clauses in their contracts, then saying "it's ok to leave these unenforceable clauses in the contract because we're not trying to apply them" is no longer...

It would be wrong to assume that legal training = legal competence. Don't trust too much in solicitors, as my experience has been they frequently contradict each other, and often miss things that "uneducated" people see clearly.

Is it not possible to say in the tenancy agreement that: "the tenancy will only commence and be effective in law when all the following specified conditions are met: 1) the agreement document is signed by all parties; 2) the...

In view of all the above comments and for landlords to defend themselves against rabid council officials, will letting agents and landlords now need to send existing tenants a new Tenancy Agreement (replacing the existing AST) using wording that excludes...
