Has the NRLA lost its way?

Hello, There is now a growing trend of professional landlords who have become disenchanted with the NRLA. Their stance on the abolition of Section 21 defies belief and no landlord would have agreed to this. Where do they get their mandate from? Who elects the Board members?

This industry has never been in such a parlous state with no one to fight our corner.

Shelter/Generation Rent speaks and the media are all over it, NRLA speaks and no one hears or listens. Is it time for a more robust, radical organisation that will force the Government to hear us?

Every industry/business has a union to represent its members, we do not, we have to put up with an association that appears to be more on the tenants’ side rather than landlords.
They may be good at supplying tenancy agreements, but as a lobbying group, they are not pushing the interests of landlords strongly enough.

It’s also worth noting that if you criticise them via social media instead of dealing with the issues they will just block you. This speaks volumes about how deaf they are to any form of change.

How long will professional landlords put up with this situation?

Thank you,

Paul
