The Alliance is Launched
Let me Preface this by thanking Property118, Mark and Neil on behalf of all our members. Without Property118, it would not have been possible.
The New Landlords Alliance, against all the odds has been launched. We were told that it would not be possible, that we would not get the numbers. Wrong , we have arrived.
A huge word of thanks to every body who pledged. If you have not paid yet, please log on and pay online. We are contacting every single pledge personally. It is a massive task, please bear with us. We wanted to do it this way to show our appreciation to every single person who pledged. We value each and every member.
To our detractors and to Shelter, we say this. We will not tolerate the language of hate, we will not listen to any charity or organisation that label all landlords as criminals.
Because of our success and our membership, we will shortly launch in London. Venue to be announced.
I now make another appeal. To those who have not yet joined. Please join us. We need you and you now know, that we are a fighting force. Help us become the Largest Landlord organisation in the country.
Time to go for a new approach. We are already advising Croydon landlords to ditch the Council. Why should we house their tenants, as they call for S21 to be scrapped. No more lying down. They attack us, we make them pay.
Shelter assist delinquents who default on rent, to stay in our properties. Fine we educate the public on what this organisation really stands for. We will have a lot more to say about Shelter and have fun saying it. Shelter might not find it quite so easy raising all that cash to house nobody.
Licensing, S24 all make for a hostile environment. The new Homes fitness for habitation bill, should not worry us in the least. Having said that Councils who impose the burden of their rotten licensing schemes, might be worried now that Council tenants can sue them.
Once again, thank you to all who have joined and to those who have pledged but not joined yet, please do so as soon as possible.

You do indeed have the option to print your receipt.

Cheers Luke for that clarification. Someone else asked the same question a while back but did not get an answer. It is helpful and important to know and should encourage more recruits.
Chris.

Joined and paid for membership. Let’s see what we can do, I am willing to risk £100 and give the NLA (another one) a chance.

Joined, paid n got the receipt. I was looking at figures n was appalled to see that with a readership of some 200,000 using this site (I read that somewhere), ONLY 19000 people signed an e-petition started in May and ending in a few days time. No wonder Larry is struggling to get £100 if we can’t be bothered to sign a free petition to reintroduce Mortgage interest relief and repeal the 3% Stamp duty surcharge. Apathy … much easier for some I guess! Someone once said “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing” … just sayin’

Well done Larry. Paid mine a while ago. A couple of points (mentioned in my previous comments)……
NLA? You must have realised the clash with NLA (association). Still think a more ‘home/housing’ type name (Shelter cleverly knows!) including everyone (inc tenants) would stop doors slamming in our faces. How about tenants joining – incentivised with discounts and pre-referenced queue jumping or similar?
The Gov and Councils are happily beating us with sticks with the apparant approval of the public. If we come out like the BNP with our sticks – they will beat us harder with theirs – and they unfortunatley will always have bigger sticks!
Robust, targeted, reasoned, barrister style arguement – emphasising the benefits (to all but especially to tenants) will shorten the assault and help to rebuild the respect and support the vast majority of us deserve.

Previous comment by John Dance is the way forward.
Targeted, Robust, incisive, well reasoned comment is what is needed whilst also pointing up the value and contribution of the PRS to UK plc. This needs well briefed, media savvy, and professionally presentable people. How the cause is presented really matters, forget judicial reviews, and endless costly interventions, spend the money getting the best media people , and most agile and analytical minds advocating for us.
I’m paid up

All weighed, all paid but I didn’t see where to get the receipt. Here’s to our success in all our ventures. Thank you Larry.
