If I cross the road I might get knocked down by a bus!
If you don’t try then you will certainly get nowhere.
If your arguments are good enough then you should win. If they are not then maybe you are not backing the right horse.

Simon,
You are absolutely right! It was me who had made this comment. 🙂

In reality a lot of them are aware of it but hardly anyone knows the extent and severity of forthcoming legislation coupled with the fact, basic rate tax misunderstanding.
Almost 9/10 people who I spoken to seem to suggest that as they are basic rate tax payers it won’t affect them.

I know.
Just had a new prospect contact me who says the same. Seeing him Monday to explain his situation and then hopefully sign him up as a client.
The more different avenues that the world at large sees the more aware they will become.

Trying to persuade my letting agents to sign as it might affect their business, but they seem totally unconcerned.

Interesting, Kathy.
It makes me thing that this is a kind of perversion of Robin Hood -‘stealing from those who owe the most, to give to anyone who applies.’

Good luck Kathy, mine ignored all my emails on the subject.
Bad move, as I’m now going to try Lettings supermarket for my next vacancy.

Well, I’m certainly going to look at them now – also as a way of saving money. I have three different agents and only one would even write down the URL of the petition.

Forgot appropriation of land for planting crops and housing troops in WWII (Agriculture Miscellaneous War Provisions Acts, 1940 and 1941
Landlord and Tenant Requisitioned Land Acts 1942 and 1944
Requisitioned Land and War Works Act 1944
Town and Country Planning Act 1944) and the parliamentary Enclosures in the 19th century (well, 1750 to 1850) which privatized common land (so the opposite, in way) see The Tragedy of the Commons (1968) – available online somwewhere.
But mostly, landlords are the evil ones throughout!

That inspired me to contact my letting agents again. I told them off for having done nothing since I wrote 2 months ago and I got an almost instant reply that it is ‘absolutely’ on their agenda! I gave them the link to the petition again. I think it’s definitely worth others ‘reminding’ their letting agents as maybe it’s sunk in a bit more now and they might pull their finger out (that’s the expression I used – ‘tell Rhys to pull his finger out!’
