Kathy – please wait on the final version of the questions and answers being posted before circulating. I will be making changes to reflect feedback on this Forum.

Comments received today from the Chartered Institute of Housing in Scotland:
Thank you for your email and for sharing your letter to the Chancellor, the examples set out within the letter are of particular interest. While CIH has not made a public statement regarding changes to tax relief for Buy to Let mortgages, we do acknowledge your concerns. We recognise the roll that the private rented sector plays in helping to meet housing need and we advocate increasing supply of housing across all tenures. We are still in the process of developing our strategy ahead of the Scottish elections next year and supporting growth and as well as improved standards within the PRS will be a topic for consideration.

Hi Connie.
I think you should send what you have written to your MP. The more letters like this, the more we will persuade people of the madness of this proposal. I feel the same as you – thoroughly betrayed by the duplicitous act by the Conservatives – the only party not to publicly state they were going to have a go at landlords and they come up with the biggest attack on landlords ever. I challenge anyone to come up with a bigger attack on us in history. (and we have to pull people out of their blissful ignorance of what this means)

Anyone know if you can include links in Zoopla and Rightmove rental ads?
Something along the lines of-
If you think rents are high enough already, sign the petition against George Osborne’s proposed rent tax here ; http://www.petitionetc

Thank you, Ros. I will follow your advice and send another letter to my MP; the first contained examples from Mark Alexander because I didn’t know what to write. Difficult to put into words the gutting feeling, and taste of bile.
I wanted to contact a newspaper for a double page spread, but I think I’ll leave it to Miss Cheltenham. She has the face for it.

I’m sure you are right Mark, just thinking of ways to get the message out to tenants that this will affect them badly too.
Pity there isn’t have a national charity to stand up for tenants, even when their interests align with that of landlords.

No Connie! Still contact the newspaper! That’s exactly what we need. We can’t get enough publicity. I’ve just been working on a detailed email to ‘Andrew Pierce,’ a journalist at the Daily Mail, who is often on the Sky News Press Preview in the late evenings. I don’t know if he’ll help, but it’s important to keep explaining to as many people – especially journalists – what this means. You might do an interview with a local paper for example, and then that could get picked up by a national one. Go for it!
