Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 23/06/2026 - 08:49My thoughts exactly! I see no reason why a PRS LL could not make a counter claim against the LA on basis that 'independence and fairness' cannot be achieved/qualified...

advertise as 'some pets will be unsuitable in this property'. Not a direct ban, but a warning shot given to prospective tenants. If they list pets in the application form it gives you a chance to then not respond to...

Just read the RR Info sheet again. Plain as day... This document is only a summary of the changes. The new rules may change or impact your tenancy in a way not described below. The new rules apply to your...
