This is all part of the build-up to introducing a mandatory Register for Landlords (not unruly Tenants I might add) for which will there will be a fee of somewhere between £500 and £1200 per property simply to raise money...
This disgusting Council behaviour is nothing new. Don't expect to be able to talk to them sensibly either- they are TOTALLY on the side of the Tenant. If it were me I would be thinking of offering your tenant a...
Whichever way you look at it: Renter's Reform Bill, EPC demands, Licensing etc. It will be us Tenants who lose our homes and have to pay more rent as so many Landlords have had enough and the pool of rental...
In the main the system has worked well for hundreds of years. Yes there will always be rogue Landlords and Tenants which need dealing with but Licensing and Renter's Reform Bill is not the answer. All this will do is...
There's a catch to having payments sent directly to Landlord - if it turns out the tenant has not reported a change of circumstances i.e. moved a partner in or has been working and not declared it - guess who...
So basically, if the Government hadn't interfered Tenants would be paying much lower rents!! I can see the English Government making the same mistake by introducing EPC stipulation and Renter's Reform Bill. If it ain't broke don't fix it!
The point everyone seems to be missing is: why was Sec 21 bought in in the first place. Becauseit was needed to evict errant Tenantsand allow Landlords to regain their Properties. The need for it remains more than ever.
In over 30 years of renting out properties I have NEVER had a single Tenant take any interest in EPC. I even had solar panels installed on one property only for the Tenant to complain it had meant she couldn't...
As more and more Landlords leave the PRS due to the War on Landlords by Government there will be fewer homes for rent which unfortunately will drive up prices. My landlord of 11 years has been fantastic with only 2...
Anything the Bill brings in the way of addition costs to Landlords will ultimately result in either Tenants paying more OR many Landlords selling up and so fewer rental properties means Tenants paying more. The only ones to benefit will...
BEWARE !! With only a Sec 8 served any Tenants seeking accommodation from the Local Council will be advised to stay put and NOT pay rent as they are not under threat of being homeless like Sec 21. I know...
And GOVE wants to get rid of Sec 21 - the only protection Landlords have. Furthermore, while Landlords are losing rent and paying for legal expenses Tenants are being offered FREE LEGAL AID.
Council's have always told tenants to stay put until they are under imminent threat of homelessness. And Gove would have you believe we don't need Sec 21!!!! Under the Renter's Reform Bill you will serve a Sec 8 and the...
Yet another attack on landlords to drive them out of the market. It's totally unfair that having to upgrade to EPC "C" only applies to landlords. It should apply to EVERY domestic dwelling regardless of ownership.
The Bill title gives it away. In a world of equality it should be The Renter's AND LANDLORD'S BIll and it should only apply to HMO's and Landlords with more than 5 properties. Also EPC ratings of 'C' or above...
I'm quite frankly terrified that this Renters Bill will be the final straw for many good landlords, mine included. I've lived in the same house for 11 years and only twice has my rent increased. If Landlords decide enough is...
As a tenant I totally disagree with this proposal. My Landlord of 11 years has been great. However, with all the Landlord bashing he's almost at the point of selling up. This Bill should be called "The Tenant AND LANDLORD...

Remember, this wouldn't be happening if the Government hadn't spooked the market. Another ill thought out plan with the ultimate losers being Tenants.
