"Can't agree with this. A lot of landlords take the absolute piss out of renters. Agents too. Renters have very little protection. As far as there being less property available, what's going to happen to them? Landlords will sell up?" And where's the protection for the landlord? It's far more 50/50 than is made out | |||

At the end of the day, a landlord is running a business, they take the risks associated with business. | |||

"I don't like the latest plans. Seems to be loaded in favour of rentors. Owners will get fed up with this and stop letting which will only serve to reduce the amount of letting property " there is always a loop hole believe me yes things needed changing especially as can take months before you can evict which is wrong if a week late then should be able to kick them out straight away. | |||

"Too true. Rents are going to shoot up, and landlords will start dumping properties which will suppress the owned housing market. Maybe that's the plan. Bad news for everyone. Not sure what the Tories are thinking. They seem to be determined to wipe themselves out at the next election. Gove particularly seems to be totally out of touch." just rent them without doing it legally cash at the door each month simples | |||

Why do people agree to this? | |||

"They don't have rights but nothing stopping you get gas electric certs most landlords have contacts nothing says there not good landlords just government doesn't no and no tax but things are changing most councils now have to register who owns houses so eventually they can tax you as second homes.or do what I did and put in kids and grandkids names I have friends that own about 300 or more as well as abroad no different." I’m going to be honest, the people who are going to go this route are going to ones that need more support, help and not be living in fear of the boys coming round! Allowing no rights to people who want a roof over their head and are paying for it is low, I mean really low. I do hope that any tenants you and your friends may have find somewhere safe to live and the council authorities in your area catch on to you sharpish. | |||

"We have a housing crisis in this country, that can only be solved by radical means. Social housing must be built, and lots of it. LOTS of it.

But fuck that, just send the boys round.yep if you're a cunt why not yes it's a business but do you know a company that would Carry on losing money just so it's clients can trade no so no different if you don't pay or treat it or anti social why shouldn't they be kicked straight out. A normal company would use their legal rights to recover property or money. Your attitude is exactly the reason tenant's need protection haha a normal company believe me they would if they could if the tenant paid wouldn't need to but let's just worry about the scum tenant that has no intention of paying . I'm glad you think it's funny that there are real people out there with every intention of paying who may fall on hard times will have to worry about the boys coming round. If it worries you so much, sell up. what I do find funny is how many people think it's ok if people don't pay im not taking o im a bit short this month im talking about those that have no intention of paying as you have said it's a business not a charity and I've sold or don't rent out my houses anymore few retail units but there different. I didn't say it was OK, I said use legal routes. If you weren't insured against non payment then I'm afraid I have no sympathy.I was fully insured but why should I claim just because some scum doesn't want to pay there rent im all for making rogue landlords accountable but it's turning good ones into bad because of not paying. People not paying is not turning anyone bad. That's just an excuse. You are running a business and you take the associated risks. Either that or you get out of the business. There's really no more to it than that. Tbh, you use words like scum, cunt etc and want to 'send the boys round', that's not someone who knows how to do business in my book. BTW, why are you 'sending the boys' and not going yourself?I don't get my hands dirty anymore before you start moaning I've never sent anyone I've not had to but if it came to it I would after all alleys had been used." Oh I'm not moaning, just think it's a bit soft getting others to do your dirty work. | |||

"Too true. Rents are going to shoot up, and landlords will start dumping properties which will suppress the owned housing market. Maybe that's the plan. Bad news for everyone. Not sure what the Tories are thinking. They seem to be determined to wipe themselves out at the next election. Gove particularly seems to be totally out of touch. just rent them without doing it legally cash at the door each month simples Accept cash and kick them out on the spot if they're one week late?? How exactly do you prove they're late if you're taking cash?

"I find it hard to feel any sympathy for those who earn a living simply on the basis of owning an additional property. A luxury which many people under the age of 40-45 will never have. don't need sympathy nothing wrong in upping yourself I left school at 15 no education started working bought first house at 20 so why should I let someone move in and not pay id rather leave them empty So because you benefitted from cheaper housing which younger generations will never have, you’re content to pull the ladder up behind you? This country is fucked by greed. Everyone works hard for a living. But todays youth will never have it as good as the boomers and Gen-X" I had a house I rented out. I had tenants for 11 years and I never increased their rent, they were able to save a deposit when they got to year 5 or 6 I think they said. I had tenants for 18 months that destroyed the kitchen, every door and, well the list goes on that cost me thousands to put right and legal fees. I then had another long term renter who looked after the property beautifully, I setup all the emergency repairs in her name so she could deal with them directly, it gave her control of the property. I also increased the rent to the new market value and only increased the rent 3 times over the ten years. She too, managed to sort a deposit and moved on to buy. I then sold 18 months ago, I lost a considerable amount in capital gains! Not all landlords are the same and bad landlords in my opinion are the lowest of the low! Allowing someone to live in a property as their own was important to me, because if I was them I would want that too. I earned my money to invest in a property and I used my buying power to help those who simply didn’t have the ability to buy. I also made money, win win as they say. | |||

"We have a housing crisis in this country, that can only be solved by radical means. Social housing must be built, and lots of it. LOTS of it. New laws should restrict the number of properties that can be owned by an individual or company, and rent caps should be enforced. " Agree there is a significant need to build new homes and affordable homes lots of them! But it’s not easy. Rent caps can depress investment and upgrading of properties but agree it needs detailed review and should be in place for affordable units. | |||

"I don't like the latest plans. Seems to be loaded in favour of rentors. Owners will get fed up with this and stop letting which will only serve to reduce the amount of letting property " It has always been hard to evict a Tennant, making section 21 the way to go for landlords in essence section 21 was a scare tactic and only a judge can evict a Tennant from their home, and the advice was never leave unless bailiffs remove you. So to hear the lobbying has finally worked is good news, to make a person homeless due to money is grossed and rightly so made harder for the landlord to evict is a good thing IMO | |||

"Can't agree with this. A lot of landlords take the absolute piss out of renters. Agents too. Renters have very little protection. As far as there being less property available, what's going to happen to them? Landlords will sell up?" This is already happening in Scotland, SNP made this ruling to protect tenants Some tenants have stopped paying rent and even then, the Landlords cannot evict | |||

I have worked in social housing for 30 years and also a private landlord for 15 years. Tenants are very well protected in Scotland. As they should be. Landlords have many tools available for debt recovery if you understand the housing system. Unfortunately rogue landlords profiteering from people's basic right to shelter is where it falls down and these types should be removed from the sector. Scotland has better regulation of landlords... anyone who thinks this is a bad thing needs to give their head a wobble. Folk who use rentals as a quick money maker are in the wrong game. | |||
