Is this our Government showing us that the real intention behind the RRA was always to raise tax revenue, allowing them to sit back & say, "look how well we've done in helping to rebalance the economy"? It's kicking the...

More politicians intent on kicking the can down the road. Costs increase but rent is unlikely to keep pace in a rent control situation. So we see a property approaching being a loss maker. What do we do normally? We...

If people keep on saying this kind of thing, then surely the government will listen? Well when they do, they'll surely do what the critics want. We'll all get rent capped as well as taxed almost out of existence. Then...

Does your contract with the agent say that you agree to paying for this at the end of the tenancy? If you didn't ask for it, don't pay it. I never bother with a deep clean. Currys currently offer a...

Reply to the comment left by Chepstow Landlord at 07/06/2025 - 11:04Yes. There's a female solicitor in Knutsford that approach my tenants, describing a way that sounded to them like they could get a few quid, without damaging me. I...

Reply to the comment left by Perc666 music at 19/02/2025 - 17:23Huge agreement from me. The problem is that no individual will ever feel the pain of prosecution or financial loss. So they just don't care to the same level...

It's a sticking plaster on a broken leg. It's just a way of gaining popularity amongst a group of voters. Clearly the PRS is the enemy of the government. I've already started selling up. I've let some really good properties...

I had a similar situation. I didn't notice payments coming from someone other than the Romanian tenant. I noticed the name on the account when I received the 3rd payment. It turned out she had handed the keys to someone...

There are only 2 words that are important here. Claims is the first. Evidence is the second. Shelter bang on & on about poor this, substandard that, purely to justify their existence & salaries. And yet, this is a charity....

They probably are, but how often do they comment on landlords that try to do the right thing?

I love it when Ms Abbot opens her mouth. It always brings a smile to my face. I say more airtime needs to be given to her, just so we can see what she'll say next. Maybe a regular spot...

Shelter can and will do whatever they like . I am only concerned with one thing about them. Gov stop giving them money. Public stop donating. Society needs to stop funding these looneys. Look at the salary bill before you...

I had a court case for non payment of rent on a periodic tenancy. The guarantor claimed his responsibility ended once the AST became periodic. The magistrate disagreed. He had to pay. Why? Because he was named as guarantor on...

I have no licenced property. If any become licensable, my policy is that rent must go up to cover the cost. I will licence if I need to. However, if the rent becomes unrealistic, that's just tough. The tenent can...

You're much more flexible than I am. But then again, I don't know your situation. I personally always get enough applicants to be able to choose who I take. There's no way I would vary my terms. I'd rather sell...

I have a lot of properties & a regular spark that I'd rather pay to travel than have a local do it. Get a recommendation & pay him well. You'll be glad of the honesty in the long term

Put simply, you don't. You set your standard, if your prospective tenants can't comply, they don't get a tenancy. Simple really. It's your choice. Benefits or not, it's your rules, that's it.

In my opinion, I'd try it. If weekly payments meet the standard set out by the ast of equivalent monthly payments, no need for a change of agreement. It's their choice how they meet the requirement. How they get there...

My wife jokes about my younger tenants, saying you're not their dad. But she has a valid point that I've taken on board when selecting tenants. Older ones have shown "son" behavioural patterns too. Your choice though.

Wow, I didn't know that. I imagine there's a whole load of others trying to be socially responsible that do the same. It's hard to influence companies, I know, I own a couple. If only there was a charity that...
