Unless your rental agreement specifically allows rent deductions for anything, the contract for paying the rent is usually unaffected by any repairs issue. If you're not confident of the rental agreement is wording, I would seek clarification from a professional....

If I were to try to conclude a deal of any type in a country that doesn't share my native tongue, I would do all possible to ensure that their language is respected by employing whatever means portrays me in...

And you're probably right. A good fit for me or the property isn't likely to be a good enough argument in a court case. Which really quite illustrates my point. It's my house, paid for with my money & it's...

Reply to the comment left by Jesus Diaz at 09/10/2026 - 07:01I can't comment on how any decisions were reached by the NRLA. But I can give you my opinion. I see the NRLA as an organisation that works with...

Tiger, regrettably fair seems to be a word that is less popular these days. Fair means something other than what many of us were given to understand during our educational years. Fair seems to mean that one party does all...

Reply to the comment left by Person Of The People at 08/10/2026 - 17:43Absolutely spot on. It's hard to beat the very rich, they can afford to tie the system up in legal battles that last longer than governments, &...

There are always numpties to vote for headline grabbers. Just look at the state of American politics, kinda says it all really. I wonder if the approach is, if they can do it, so can we?

So the way things appear to be going, under right to buy, government can sell off what we used to term as council houses. But under the proposals made recently by the very same government, if I can't get work...

Utter tosh. try being a landlord for a few years, then come back & tell me rent caps are a good idea. Another politician that's headline grabbing without any substance to back it up. The moment I see a law...

When a government is deciding who is allowed to own an asset, it's essentially positive discrimination. If I don't drive my car for 6 months, will they take it off me? If I go on a round the world tour...

Reply to the comment left by Jesus Diaz at 03/10/2026 - 11:21The difference is that the NRLA are a polite, process following, respectable organisation. Some entities exist just to generate internal wealth. Lobbyists & media hypers are funded because they...

5 weeks deposit forfeiture wouldn't even cover replacement carpets in many homes. Are this lot really running out of things to have a go at us for? Let's hope so.

Responsible landlords don't make for good copy in the press. They don't facilitate debate amongst politicians. They don't help politicians to support legislative change to raise revenue. That's why no public facing body ever discusses, congratulates or encourages the high...

I'd say it's incredibly efficient, if the aim is the generation of revenue, which these schemes clearly seem to be. And it does create "jobs for the boys". We can't forget those poor civil servants that need to have jobs...

You can choose your tenant. I use an online agency which requires me to do my own viewings. I get to figure out who I think I can work with & who may not be a good fit for me...

Call my view simplistic, but I would gauge the answer to be one household, You rent to one entity. How your client chooses to manage who sleeps there after it's been rented to them is surely not your concern. If...

Like with everything legally binding, until there's injury, death or criminality that can be evidenced in a pattern forming manner, everything is just fine as far as the government & the authorities are concerned. Here's the mad thing. I have...

Well maybe it's because fewer people have thousands of pounds just sat there for a deposit to buy a house. Why is that I wonder? Because many people need a new car every 3 years. And that TV package is...

There's some simple economics being missed in so many instances. Rents get too high, people move away & get jobs elsewhere. Or they decide, to hell with this, let's get a mortgage. Then rent's lower & people repopulate that area....

Give a public body the power to raise revenue & it will. Why? Well there's no single person that can be held accountable. So it's nobody's fault if it financially cripples a well intentioned landlord. No guilt, no blame, just...
