If they don't like the rent being charged, then live further out or in a smaller place, that's what I did when renting. When inflation and capital gains are taken into account are landlords really making super normal gains?

"79% of the public believe the government should play a role in ensuring private rents are affordable" 79 percent probably believe they should get free groceries and get quadruple pay rises. Doesn't make it a good idea or a workable...

Even better, because there is no bidding wars, landlords will advertise higher rents and accept lower bids. So if the market rents are advertised rents, it's all good.

I think even responsible landlords do have to fea inadvertent mistakes, which are guaranteed to happen.

I think there is a fundamental mistake. How are landlords responsible for tenants financial situation? If a tenant cannot afford the rent they should contact the landlord about that, or find a cheaper property.

This government has a policy of saying everything is fine all the time, even when it's not. As long as you're not personally affected, you'd believe them. We know better.

As a software developer, I find it bizarre, you wouldn't combine the two. There is a principle in development, the DRY principle. Which means Don't Repeat Yourself. But as this is not a service offered by business for a customer,...

NZ has a party equivalent to Reform in the governing coalition. Which is the reason section 24 equivalent removed and reversal of bad landlord policies. The sooner we have a Reform government the better.

I saw your posts and attempt to organise. Much appreciated. Sad there was not much take up. Governments treat landlords as thier b*tches. No-one seems to stand up to them, and we are so fragmented. I would have considered joining...

This happened to me exactly. My agent took 1p too much deposit. "With monthly rents between £1000 and £4000, calculating a 5 week deposit to 2 decimal places will give too high a figure in over 46% of cases. Those...

"Most who renovated went on to raise rents with more than 80% increasing rents with an average rise of 17%, with nearly a third putting rents up 20%." But how much did those without renovations put up rents? My current...

I would rather have a higher tax rate than have section 24. It's an abomination.
