Is BB that stupid to think that Marxists listen to anyone who says the government should be 'investing' more in private housing provision???? It's not in their DNA to accept, never mind promote the increase of private housing provision.

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 29/05/2026 - 08:27in reality every single LL is 'exempt'. There is no way anyone can control anyone else's behaviour. It takes months for a council to get closure orders on their...

perhaps when tenants make a request as part of the LL initial response when asking for more info is to ask them to consider and respond to these questions? https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/dog-advice/getting-dog/dog-ready/are-you-dog-ready

an 'offer' can be made yes, but it can also be entirely rejected. The fact that the T could have (at any point prior to the possession being progressed) contacted the LL to make the same offer, means the action...
