It seems that we are absolutely not allowed to discriminate anyone due to race, colour, religion, political persuasion (although that might change), sex, age (probably), income? Etc.., etc... I presume you can discriminate on the applicant's job or profession, otherwise...

Thanks all - it is a company let agreement and I have not registered the deposit so am comfortable not registering this property. So one lot of £65 saved....

Thanks Gemini.... Yes, I'm in agreement with you, but my whole point of wanting to test the system was to see what works and what doesn't, so I wanted to push them on this and they seem to be hiding...

Reply to the comment left by Peter Merrick at 22/09/2026 - 05:26Thanks Peter - I did think of that, but potentially I'm stating an 'untruth' and it's clear what the authorities think of that.

Reply to the comment left by Imout Ofhere at 11/09/2026 - 08:21Hi Imout Ofhere I had a similar concern so have looked it up. The short answer is no. Both landlords will have to register, but we only have to...

Well that will be another £10 per month per property added to the rent on top of any other increase on every property. £120 a year allows for 40% tax of £48 giving me a 'spare' £7 for maybe a...

Why not indeed. After all, we're already responsible for doing the work of the Border Force to ensure people have a right to rent in this country, we can simply extend that to include stopping fly-tipping. Perhaps we should apply...

Interesting. So the government ARE now admitting to there being a backlog? 🤣

I really don't know how they expect us to improve the energy performance of our properties without first publishing the criteria we will have to work to. It would be pointless to start when it all might change once their...

Reply to the comment left by Jerome roelens at 04/04/2025 - 18:19Good point. But if they're leaving at the end of their tenancy anyway and simply refusing to return the keys, are they still considered to be in residence? And...

Have you never had to change a lock because the key has gone missing? Or the tenant's left without telling anyone and taken the keys with him? That's what you pay a locksmith to do!

Let him keep the keys. Have the locks changed and claim the cost from the deposit. Job done.

I have to say this is really funny to the point it doesn't even warrant a retort. It's certainly given me a laugh this morning!

The real intention of the RRB is to reduce the number of tenants seeking social housing and people requiring short-term accommodation by ensuring that whatever the reason, they can't be evicted from the PRS very easily. They're not bothered about...

Absolutely - well said. When you become an MP, you have to leave your commonsense at the door when you enter Parliament.

I'm not 100% sure as this is a leasehold property, but I would have thought that should have been found by the conveyancing solicitors and you may have a claim against them. The non-disclosure is also (IMO) fraudulent. Somebody here...

Interest rates didn't start rising until December 2021. Rents had already been going up from 2018 so the council is talking codswallop when it says interest rate rises were why rents rose. It is plain to see that selective licensing...

I can't vote Conservative after the tax hikes and pandering to the likes of Shelter and Generation Rent as well as their policy to destroy the small landlord sector. I can't vote Labour as their policies (and people) are preposterous....
