He’s absolutely crackers!
by Mick Roberts
Labour is publishing draft legislation for an urgent new law stating any non-payment of rent due to Coronavirus would not count as legal grounds for eviction.
The party said: βThe move would bar landlords from evicting tenants who are off work and not getting paid due to Coronavirus, by changing the legal basis on which landlords can seize possession of a rented property to exclude arrears which have built up due to the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.β
He’s absolutely crackers. Who’s paying the boiler next week that’s gonna break then? Corbyn is so Anti-Landlord his thoughts are on another planet.
If these people think the mortgage is the landlords only outgoings, all they gonna do is make more landlords sell which makes it worse for more tenants.
And the remaining landlords will charge what they like. Supply and demand.
Let’s all have a boiler holiday. Oh sorry plumber, Corbyn said no rent in.
So have no money to pay. Go ask the merchant if they will give you the boiler for free and the petrol station free petrol to get here.

I totally agree . . . Empty-Property council tax should be scrapped for the duration of this pandemic.

I am a landlord and I can assure you that after HMRC has stripped me of all rental income in the form of TAX I had to pay this year, if my rental property needs a boiler replaced I certainly do not have the money to pay for it. I for one am selling my properties and that means evicting my tenants.
