Renter rights bill are believed by so many who are not either landlords or tenants believing they are the savoirs of tenants. You are just bringing unbalance where both of the suffers. We can't send rogue tenant out easily. Landlord...
Letting agency doesn't know anything. There is no 400 legislation. Don't promote letting agencies here. Gemini would provide better info than your agency. They all just earn money simply sitting, while landlord suffer with all kinds of cost.
MPs can claim whatever they want. The reality is landlords are suffering with cost and risk. Most of them are stuck with properties with near 0 profit. House prices in rental sector ia in very negative due to 5% surcharge....
I don't understand one thing why banning section 21 is a problem. Unless property is not damaged and he is paying rent correctly, then there is no need to worry about evicting tenant. Both are covered outside of section 21...

Increase rent by 75 or 100. Leave it in rolling. 175 increase is too much in a single go and that to a benefit tenant. I know you may be in loss, but you will be in better place when...
One simple solution to most of our problem. Start reporting rents to credit bureau. When they stop paying the default is shown on their accounts. They can't find house anywhere with rent arrears with you. Ccj would make it more...
