When it is looking like any price increase will be deferred almost indefinitely by the new system in May, it is understandable that many landlords will try to get their price rises in before then. The whole idea of tribunal...

The whole bitterness about high rent can be summed up so simply. Between 2009 and 2022 the BOE base rate was 1% or less which meant cheap lending with 200k perhaps only costing 5k per year in interest . Now...

The problem with an organisation which employs individuals to campaign against the status quo is that there is no end to it. It can never say that its mission has been accomplished. That its reason for existing is over. That...

I guess Labour are pinning their hopes on corporate landlords adding 'professionalism' to the sector as small investors leave. They have even left the lower CGT in place to encourage their departure. Perhaps they should take a look at how...

Perhaps a fund for the homeowners who are paying thousands more a year with the increase in interest rates. The rental activists who think they (the tenants) should be completely insulated from real life changes just sound like children to...

If in doubt, send it out. There seems to be a lot of scaremongering from agents to make some of these tasks seem more complicated than they are.

Wow. So apparently Labour are pro-landlord. Who would have thought it. As my tenants leave, so will I. Let's see who the activists will be shouting at in five years time.

The government wants small investors out to encourage corporate to step in. They will create a monopoly, become too large to be allowed to fail and then expect subsidies. We have seen this pattern with the power, water, rail and...

Perhaps it is time for the PRS to organise its own database of rogue tenants since the government doesn't seem to think it is important.

Who are they going to call when there is no more low income suitable PRS? Call Pennycook landlord buster.

When even government bulletins have used phrases such as 'kicked out' to describe the ending of a fixed term contract you know that professionalism and the ability to report accurately have left.

Reply to the comment left by PAUL BARTLETT at 25/03/2026 - 11:32Housing associations are just a way of hiding public debt as their financial obligations are not reported in the same way as council housing and the subsidies not so...

The costs will be passed on or the lower end of the PRS will disappear. Government may be hoping that the corporations will take over but the returns are just too low for them. They will only step in when...

Perhaps we should have supermarket price controls also since food could be said to be a 'human right'. Ignore raw materials going up, ignore profit margins. Fix the retail price and see if the shop continues to stock the items....

Let's not worry about the 17% social homes EPC because the councils can't afford it. Let's not worry about the EPC of the 64% of private homes because average home owners can't afford it, and might vote against the government....

As has been said before, most landlords don't have to be landlords but tenants without savings can't be homeowners. When my tenants leave, I will sell. I will invest elsewhere and have no connection or interest in the housing wars...

A shame that landlords and other businesses affected by half baked government decisions cannot hand out financial penalties as easily as the state can against honest mistakes..

I have good tenants and don't want to "kick them out" as activists describe ending a contract. When these people move away naturally however, the properties will be sold and the cash invested elsewhere. Most landlords don't have to be...
