So Jenrick defrauded Tower Hamletts of £30-£50 million in lieu of a bung to his political party and HE'S STILL A MINISTER.

If they dealt with these rogues properly (and this is not properly) then they wouldn’t have to vilify the majority of us.

I think the tenants should be allowed to have your house. Why should you have a better home than them? This is especially true if they haven’t paid their rent for three months and have smashed up the home they are “squatting” in.

Brilliant McDonnell. Of course if your tenants can buy your property below market value that will incentivise you keep it maintained to a higher standard. Don’t forget that more properties will be available to rent because that’s the landlords dream, to see their investment taken away from them without choice. Is it 1st April today?

Go further: I've written to the Chancellor and my MP several times to suggest that all residential works buy to let or owner occupied should be free of VAT. They would probably collect more tax as builders wouldn't get paid in cash and more people would have a contract so less disputes. Did they listen then? No. Are they listening now? No. Is anyone reading this? Also no.

I have a room for a single adult that narrowly misses the minimum room size. Also in the house is a kitchen / diner, a communal lounge, a utility room and a storage room but that doesn’t make a difference. I will evict my tenant and she will have to move out of the area because she won’t be able to afford the rent on a bigger room. Seems like another well thought out law.

Seems very unfair not to take into account other accommodation provided in the house. If tenants have nowhere to go other than their room, this is quite understandable, but if they have an eat in kitchen and a separate reception room then it is unreasonable.

I would have thought that the requirement to lodge a deposit and in doing so notify the deposit agency of the length of tenancy and rent payable, there would be a far easier way to work out how much tax was due from landlords and exactly who those landlords are.

Good points but there is an added benefit of transferring properties into a company name which is to avoid inheritance tax. Also, can you set up a "management" company that takes out loans secured on your property and charges fees to cover the cost of the repayments?
