Well said . Doubt any one will listen . Politicians are only interested in vote bank. They love dividing and rule . Easy way out for them. Sorting housing issues will take commitments and be politicians and government will not be in their job long enough.

It’s all about votes . Try to have national policy to bring one area for getting votes and destroy housing market . What is the idea anot landlords licensing and other laws in test of the country where landlords a paying to councils .clueless and rip off politicians exploting voters for their own gain

Government and councils are again fleecing landlords. All the millions have not resulted in any improvement in housing. Only have resulted in higher rents for Tenent’s and more landlords quitting the market.

The council should be for community interest. They had lost billions by investing in stock market and lost lot of money during last financial crash while the council tax went up. It went up again to pay for the losses. They could not manage social housing , so Maggie thatcher got rid of it. Rest was given away to knock down price to housing association. They have failed to provide decent homes in the social sector . The quality of housing provided Is far better in PRS . The councils and the government profit by bringing in new legislation to fleece PRS. For short term gain. These policies is bound to have detrimental effects for the PRS and in long term for Tenent. There is no free rides

Tenent have choice if they want to live in particular property. They can always move. If they can’t find the property then their expectations is high and need to live in real world or buy their own property. Don’t expect freebies from landlords.

Tenent’s damage the property and do not look after the property. Deposit restricted to 5 weeks. On top you want landlords to allow pets risking higher cost and risk to damage. And you can not use section 21. If you use section 8 then you have to prove in court your side . Tenent’s get legal aid . Landloard said have to pay to get every tenent. Very costly exercise. The government will have to change laws to get landlords on board. Can’t see landlords accepting the additional risk just because it is nice to have option for tenant’s. Government should leave it to market forces rather than pandering to pressure groups and making policies on the hoof in order to get votes

Money generating for councils and Tenent. Another stealth tax and higher rents for tenants. It will not improve housing standards. As money that would have spent on improving the property will end up wasted by funding councils . Government is not interested in housing policy .only paying lip service for their political gains. It will

Just one person want to get free housing Everyone is suffering high inflation. Landlords suffer double whammy they have to pay their bills as well as higher housing cost. Increase in mortguage sales and other housing cost have to be met. It effects everyone . She can’t pay increase rent then move out to cheaper place or find a better place at same rent . Last option is buy your place there is lot government help with low deposit. Stop winging we all hat to go through hardship when we were young . We hat to live with 15% interest mortguage rates and had to manage and work hard .Not live on takeaways and Starbucks. Get up early and make you own coffee for start.

Charities need to prove their findings and have their own data to justify their comments rather than jumping on band wagon of media hysteria for their own interest. If all Tenent’s are good and pay market rent and honour their rental commitments then there is no problem . Obviously these is not the case and they need to work with both parties landlords and Tenent. Government need to have long term workable policies

Why license landlords. Money making for councils . Introduce house mot or still better Tenant to lodge inventory report to council, council to pick up any housing issues. It will lead to higher rents in the long run. The government will have to increase housing allowance. Not going to happen if expect landlords to provide these services for free. The government have failed to properly plan and provide proper housing for decades and it will only get worse

Higher rents will drive tourist away and landlords will eventually sell up. City centres will turn into host towns. Have your free houses on the dole and no job . Can’t get everything in life for free. Landlords did what was right for him if the investment did not give fair return and end up paying higher cost and taxes then they will do what needs to be done to safeguard their interest. Would the tenants have paid higher rents for landlords to improve the property in addition

shelter is in fix, They have actively promoting demonising landlord . These are the people who have provided homes. you have actively supporting rouge tenants and advising government and councils to pass laws so increasing number of landlords are leaving the market or choosing not to invest as the risk and returns are not viable. the govern and councils had a windfall by collecting fines and additional taxes in the short term and have been claiming success as the government has acted on your short-term ill thought out short term policies policies. As the fall out continuities from you stance many land lords will leave the market. with the economic outlook the poor wont have the means to buy these houses. expect you tenants to pay higher housing cost as more land will charge higher rents to meet their cost and look for quality tenants. worst will come when section 21 is repealed as more landlords will the market. Who is going to house these tenants. councils don't have fund to build houses. Tenants encouraged not to pay rent whilst receiving housing benefit, and the government delaying eviction. landlords suffering huge losses whilst government rakes in millions in taxes, fines, these money could have been reinvested by landlords to improve and provide housing good tenants needed. it is the PRS that have been providing housing over the last few decade.

Rent control simply won't work in PRS. with increased cost and government implementing raising housing standards. increasing pro tenants legislation , the returns need to be there to justify capital investment. The returns will not justify the investment. unless the government takes a balanced view and invest in sector other than treating the landlords as cash cow to balance their budget. rent control will lead to less investment in sector leading to more rundown stock and lead to more people become homeless

Pointless building social housing and then sold at discounted prices and taxpayer then taking a hit twice once suing higher taxes then subsidising loses by council when they end up selling these houses at a loss. 13 million does not buy you many houses Another pointless pointless exercise for votes to keep these clueless politicians in power. Whilst private landlords are facing increase pressure to house these social tenets and make it difficult for them to make decent returns on their investments. Long term these policies will do nothing to ease housing issues and short term policies like this have done nothing to address these issues for last few decades. Housing will be political issue for votes like the NHS , Education.

How are these landlords going to pay for these improvements when government, councils Nd tenants have ganged against the landloard. Most of the landlords are not criminals and only interested in getting maximum Rent. They provide a good services and pay lot of taxes, politicians and council need to work with landloards, and council need to enforce the power they have rather then trying to do things on cheap and treat landlords as cash cows

Scam they should put their own houses in par with private sector or face the same rules then compete who needs more regulations just money grabbing rules for clueless wannabe politicians. Rent will go up and tenants will end up paying up for additional cost through increase rents

The tenants should make the first call. They know that they have issues well before anyone else. Why would you not contact landlords to discuss unless you have a agenda. Landlords are flexible and to paint all landlords as money grabbing monsters belongs to Victorian times and attitudes need to change with media and public. They have invested their life earning to give you a roof over your head. The government have failed them over last few decades to address the housing issues and only make bold statement for their own gain.

How is raising licensing fees improve housing standards . The landlords will simply pass this as rents, and added cost leaves less for the landlords to spend on house improvement. Simply a wrong policy . Councils need to work with landlords to improve the standards. This is another attempt for council to fleece landlords.

Council get their property to same standard as PRS,Let’s see how many RRO Order are them issued to social sector . What standard was Grenfell Came under when hundreds of people got homeless and 90 people got killed and still waiting for justice. No one in private sector as far as o am aware has suffered that scale in recent years. And the councillor were profiting and lining their pockets. The council needs to get their house in order and not concentrate on hounding landlords to make money for themselves and ask talents to do their dirty work. If they did their job correctly then they should know what is going in their back yard On other money grabbing scheme for council and tenants. Would love to see landlords pull out of unprofitable hmo and make people homeless.ans spend millions on rehousing one hotels. And come back begging landloards to help them take these people in to reduce their budgets. All of these rules is designed for short term policies for the jobs worth and scheming the system .

Another media hype 80% of tenants will not be evicted and paying rent How come millions tenants face eviction.coved has been with us for 5 months yet millions of pounds in rent with now 12 months eviction ban in London you rare looking loss rental of 50,000 to 60000 per property before the landlords gets possession.. landlubbers are not charity or social landlords. Leave this to councils and housing associations They are a business and needs to be treated as such. Hands off to government and housing associations.

Time to keep the property empty. Let these people live on street or move back with parents. Pointless letting your property if they are not going to pay rent. And thrash the place. Take lodgers to cover mortgage. Or reinvest overseas Let this idiots and government and all politicians who support them creat havoc. In the end they will realise nothing is for free. You have to pay one way or other. These guys think landlords do not have any expenses . And spend tent money on luxury living.yet non of them can afford to work hard and make sacrifices to better themselves

Keep on changing the laws then I won’t let the properties , sell them. Pull the money and invest overseas. Join the rest on the dole and let the government pay for it. I am not risking what I have work hard for give it to government and tenants. I am paying enough taxes and will get ripped off by the government when I sell my properties. Let these then build millions of homes and house everyone for free and pay their living expenses. Let the government them also pay for rising crime and antisocial behaviour as these idle people divert their attention and activities to these past times

Clueless writing a book to push her sales. She may be noticed by a charity and end up in a high paying job. As she has written the book with out knowing and understanding the issues.

There are lot of issues not right. Either the agents are incompetent or the talent is ignorant about her rights it of research on her part would have gone a long way to address the issues or she could have moved on. She says she read the contract and got the keys without signing the contract . Did not ask for inventory. Checking in to start with. And either did not bother understanding her rights but can understand complex legal documents. Missing basic checks when taking on tanancy. Or is this piece written for the uninformed tenants and pressure groups to influence the politicians to get free rides and politicians to eager to support anyone to get into office. The landlords invest and take risk to manage their business and risk . The tenants to honour the contract and do and checks before taking on commitments If the government make it hard for landlords then tenet will suffer in the end as the risk and letting won’t be worth for them Built to rent seems to be flavour of the day. Big companies will only invest if they get the returns the rent will be high. You will end up on matchbox houses and pay for facilities you may not need through service charges. Fine if tanants want to live that lifestyle and end up paying I person wages to service these facilities. How are these people going to finance their goals in life I.e getting married. The government politicians have saddled with education loans And the the high paying does not exist due to Brexit, and now Covid and as the world economy takes a nose dive Time for ruling class to get grips with reality and plan for future And move away from short term gains and party politics

That’s fine by the landlord if the Give and the tanent follows the rules on the end it is all about cost of the landlords cost goes up then the rent goes up the tenet ends paying in the end. When I have a good tenant she work with me they stay on for long time and I don’t put up the rent. Landlords only evict when the the parties create issues. The issues rise because landlords and tenant have different expectations and the agents take shortcuts. If the follow guidance and do research and bit of good will things can be sorted. I get worse when people and government and pressure groups state meddling In the end it is. Commercial contract which sets expectations and limits on parties in order to have right to stay at the property. Both have a choice end the contract. I have a tenant for 15 years and I have only put up rent twice. The get 25% below market rent Maine issues are sorted quickly and it is updated ever 5 years I have another where I have issues I apply the same standard but get hassled from tenants . So I increase rent and they pay for it and I manage them by the rules and they do not get any leeway

Some thing not right why would agent give keys to tanent without signing the tenancy agreement. And why did the tenet ask for inventory before moving in . Did they not notice the dirt beforehand. I would be very concerned if the agents I had employed did that and the type of tenants .

Tenants don’t clean, I get my house professionally clean at start of tenancy. In weeks the dish washer get clogged up. Pile of dirty dishes and no hoovering. Ask my agents to get have a word. The reply comes that is the way we like to live. And cleanliness may mean different things to different people and if I insist then it may be classed as harresment .now I charge extra rent to cover my cost. And when I renew the tenancy I do not give them good quality items as I know I will end up as rapping them if it is cheaper to replace than get it cleaned. It is also the responsibility of tenants to maintain the property. When there is maintenance issues it does not get reported causing lot of damage. This all comes to ahead when they want to leave and want deposit back and then they say landlords do do the repairs. It is the nanny state and politicians meddling in minor issues giving people laws rights and lately to break the law any not the responsibilities that go with it

Lyndon, some of the above are paid by the landlords .rest are free printed off the websites. or photocopies of original. if the agent is employed to find tenants for landlord than it is given that agent may have to advertise or find another ways to find tenants. that is his job weather the landlords is aware or not it does not matter. he is paid on result. I was a service engineer I give a quote and end up buying a special tool to do the task . may only use it couple of times. I would not expect my customer to understand or to aware and need to buy these tool . his concerns is I have paid you to fix the item. and I will pay you when the job is done. I normally write off the cost of item and do not expect the charge extra. because that was the deal.

looney ideas, wont work, we had rent controls before and people could not find houses. landlords could not maintain them. rent was high. you did not have choice. I do not increase my rent every year. if the rent control come in. it is fine, I will ask for 10% negotiate to 8% every year that is 40% increase in 5 years. what about the tenants. will they be getting any added benefit. Another scheme thought out so the can employ some politician or a minister in charge at a high salary .this scheme is of no benefit to anyone. The market will find the correct rent, no need to bring any regulation. Tenants will find places they can afford to rent. the government needs to pay fair rent allowance for people on benefit instead of pushing their responsibility to someone else. if they start paying fair LHA rates then most of the issues with affordability would be met. sensible government policy needs to be thought out instead of penny pinching policies.in overall they would pay same by the time you pay people to operate and fund the alternative schemes keep it simple stupid??

Luke that where we disagree I employ agents services to work for me. I pay you the rate for the work you have agreed. You then cannot charge extra for things you have not bothered to cost your self and expect landlords to keep on paying you. When I let my house I have made an investment and put lot is money and all risk are mine. I can’t go to the tenants and ask for extra money because I have not allowed for maintenance or the drainage or boiler issues and have to pay. Agent can walk away if they find a bad talents but the landlord get stuck with non rent paying talents. I have had one agent offer me a refund for getting things wrong When you charge for something then you should do the work Even you admit you have not accounted for free service you have provided. Landlords and tenants don’t expect anything for free but expect a decent all inclusive service that the way to build customer loyalty. May be I am old school of thought. It seems that this not The way now. And the government gets involved and passes laws

Issues not resolved when I get involved then it is sorted. I am doing their job. Then I have to update him. Yes you are going to say find another agent. But they all sing from the same hymn sheet Hence the tenant fee ban Some agents have been milking the landlords and tenants Landlords have tried on line agents .

Rental arrears should be only for 4 months give max 6 months. Anyone who has more than 6 months the landlords get possession in 14 days When they go to council for help the will then need to explain what they have done to their rent payment. If they have spent somewhere else Council should refuse to rehouse them. Rest government need to pay and support using loan scheme Problem solved no lengthy court cases . Landlords gets the house and re let to new tenants Problem tenant learn the hard way to respect the law and their responsibilities to society Rather than staying at home on benefit and indulge in unsocial behaviour and low level crimes

Extend no eviction because these politicians have taken short term decision in past and sleep walking into this situation. Extend the ban longer and the landlords default or less as be the market. Results more people homeless. With the economy and job less increase and more reliant on benefit to survive. On the end it will cost lot more to address the issues. It will not matter to these politicians as the would have moved on to plum jobs and leave someone else to clear up their mess and become advisors or take up well paid charity jobs to peddle their nonsense as they are incapable of understanding the complex issues.

Landlords can not afford to give free housing for 2 years By the time they get property back and bring back to rentable condition with rent arrears, mortgage payments and property repairs you could be looking at 50k plus long term interest cost to add on mortgage added on top, the risk won’t be worth the investment. Government forcing landlords to exit the market through back door Those will lead to landlords exiting the market Lot of homeless people will be on council waiting list people needing help . Build to rent if they manage to pull it off. Then the rent will rise for them to get returns The government may then change the law and not make a duty of council to house people as the won’t have the finds.

Many landlords will exit the market on short term due to changes in economy. People won’t be able to commit As job security won’t be there and the deposit needed will be substantial. They will prefer to stay on rental accommodations Long term landlords should get reasonable returns but expect Government to tax them heavily. As returns from other investments will be more risky Long term term the market will be for professionally managed as tenants demand and returns will need to be managed more efficiently

Landlords are not social services. That is council and government job. Landlords have their issues and service the mortgage and maintain their tenants and follow government laws Enough for them to worry about without any help from government . I am a landlords for 20 years if I sell up I will end up paying lot of taxes, pay up lot when I have tenants and if I sell up. While the government throw money to tenants and encourage them to break the law. Whilst the councils and any One who want to thrash the landlords jump on the band wagon . One of the richest.

It’s the government and everyone peddling misinformation that is the problem.the government, council and dwp do not want to pay for the homeless. They want these people to vote for them to keep in power. The government needs to have a proper well funded and well thought policy over long term The housing have been neglected since sixties. You will not see progress till there is will and commitment from everyone. At moment they divide different sections of community through misinformation and fake reports then pass legislation to get more taxed for short goals. Property is a high value transactions and you can’t have government policy on shoestring . Due to high value of transaction you need to get reasonable return for your investments. The housing will get worse and it suits government short term agenda so they can get more tax. Things will not improve and will get worse. The large cooperations will not invest in build to rent if the returns are less and will demand higher rents in return . This will then lead to higher social housing benefit bill It is all geared towards short term solution to suit their agenda. With reducing returns for small landloards and heavy taxation and unfavourable tax and justice system this will only get worse. With higher rents . It a matter of time the landloards will pull out and invest overseas loosing government more tax revenue The issues regarding Covid and Brexit has not come into effect on economy and now companies laying staff and people on willing to go back after furlong This a big political storm of short term thinking from government Civil unrest to follow due to people loosing trust Tough choice and things going to hard for young under 50 as the world economy slows down

Agents are employed and paid by landlords and not Tanents. Then why is he contacting Tenants to and managing their expectations and billing landloards. Should he not manage landloards interest and not time on issues that he does not concern him Unless his agency is going bust and looking high paying jobs with one of these charities Looks like the new regulation regarding fees have effected his business and is looking for exit Landlords do not need agents who do not work for their interest Do not employ their services.

The HMRC have all the information they have The mortgage co , land registry DWP and councils etc tostary with. They do not need advice from another charity which receive grant from government and have their own agenda. They have used data from from hmrc and just produced their report to suit their goal. I am sure if the problem was that widespread then the government and hmrc would have taken action to redress the matter Just landloard bashing , busybody charity making noises to justify their existence and jumping on the band wagon The government should stop grants to these organisations and use the funds to pay for essential services

Shelter board members linked to Grenfell Fire tragedy resign. What happened to tenants rights when shelter board members were selling dodgy cladding in Grenfell towers. Pity they have put thousands of life at risk Now they come and preach to landlords and agents about their responsibilities Shelter get your house in order first then lecture us !!

Sounds good In theory if you have lots of money and want to give it away or spending someone’s money. Typical agents talk. They eod not offer their services for free. Ask them to forgo their commissions to sellers and landlords. Not living in real world. Letting is a business and landlords have expenses and mortgages on top of countless legal responsibilities. When no rent comes the mortgage company will not write-off the mortgage payment. This is the tenants problem and government and council needs to manage their benifit and rental payment Landlords are paying their fair share of taxes and investing in better housing for their tenants. And government and councils treating landlords as cash cows

Going by the new projects coming on the market which the government is encouraging to build . These building will be matchboxes houses and flats where the investor will charge maximum rent and try to get maximum return for their investment. The type of tenants suitable will be on benefit. They will get housing allowance from the government and work minimum hours to get maximum benefit. Any one working won't be able to rent these places. Not fit for families to live . they are ok for single or couple and all you want to do is go to the gym , live on fast food and one person pay their wages to live in it Hope John Lewis will be different and follow their company ethos , only time will tell.

You want something then work for it . Want energy efficiency then accept to pay higher rent, you want to live in a palace then pay for the upkeep and pay to live in it. Don't expect freebies and complain when the landlords wants to get rid of you when you are not capable of looking and honouring your side of the deal. landlords have to do the same, they cant pay the mortgage they loose the property. the don't go crying to government so called charities to demand change on law so they can love for free. Tanents get enough help form the DWP, the government and councils and now the justice system. if you cant pay don't expect landlords to support you life style or move back to mum and dad till you all grow up and become homeless and let council and the government find a better for you to live for free. Generation rent and anyone supporting your cause need to grow up and live in the real world

Deposit is a waste of time,the government will back tanents all the time . council and DWP will make landlords life difficult as they do not want to pay . When you take tanents to court Charities who get money from government and would crate new roles in disguise of tanents right group and fleece the government. The justice system will fleece the landlords. After all that if you come through then the government will tax you to max . These people think landlords have money growing trees and preach and have policies to encourage free loaders . Buying house was difficult for all generations they all had to make sacrifices in life. Generation rent think this is unique problem to them. They need to learn the ways of life the hard way. Letting to a tenant take deposit. And they pay for top notch rental and damage insurance .with leading cover. Guarantor who has a property owning the tenants is liable for full rent. If he can’t afford it he does not get the place no matter what these charities say. Possession is 90% of law and no one can make me give my place to anyone. It’s mine and I only decide Sooner they get the message so quicker they will reform and manage their expectations There are no organisation who represent landlords at top level. The fallout from Covid will force changes

Generation rent and councils have realised that the will have to cough up the money so only way they do not end up paying is to ask the government to pressure landlords. The government have supported these people with generous handouts The landlords are not going to keep on paying for ever. Time for all to realise and government need to reverse their laws over the recent years Or we will end up back as we were in sixties. We had lot of council houses and little private rentals as no one would invest. Now no council house. No lifetime tenancy, and council have spent all the money. Unless the government wants to spend billions in new housing which they have failed to build . This people better wake up and work with the landlords or the issues is going to get worse. The landlords have invested in rundown house and upgraded them to make liveable for tenants.that is their business. The so called charities have not invested in anything but live off government grants and pretend to be better at managing these issues and can only come up with one solution that keep on give us and tenants everything for free . Wake up you people get your brains out of you backsides

Another expense for the landlord to give to these needy tenants, a freebie.Tenants will have to pay higher rents and both the government and tanents need to start to dig deep into their pockets and pay higher rents as business it is not viable for landlords to keep on paying for tenants freebies it does not make business case And Allow them to live in their property rent free and damaging it while they are there.

They have made huge money getting houses for bargain prices. Now the council and government have no money. In order to cut their housing bill they have now target landlords The council and the government will end up paying in the end as landlords pull out I am not taking risk with my assets and provide service for free It is Time for politicians to work constructively with everyone build more house and provide landlords with right policies rather than jumping on band wagon tot seeking attention to get votes

The government, council and the justice system treat landlords like criminal. Their only crime who have worked hard invested their life savings in business , made sacrifice to better themselves and their families. The government, council and the justice system then to connive and steal it form them to give it to people who have no ambition or motivation in life. for free. Now the same people wants landlords to help them. let them find temporary accommodation and keep them there till the build council house and keep paying for their upkeep. yes its free, government will give it to me whatever I want because they want my vote and they cant upset me mind-set, let them figure it out or change the laws to make private rental sector work. need to take some powers off and council and invest in join collaboration with landlords no by issuing fines, and treating landlords as cash cows. There is enough legislation for councils and reduce duplicate powers make it simple and fines in the last resort. Need investment and cooperation from all sectors to go forward. create a just and fair system for all with right returns.

Shows the mind set , and the causes they are supporting. get a grant by the government, find a cause to maintain their ego and inflated causes, spread misinformation , fake reports and after running out of money go the government for support not only for them but also their members anyone who believed in their lies. Stop the grants and let them survive on their own, there are too many advisers helping the poor. yet we still have people going to food bank and children going hungry in a country which is the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world!!!! let this organisation go to wall and diver the money to other causes.

The government , housing associations councils treat landlords as an extension of their benefit system. They have failed to provide the housing , The problem has existed before Margret Thatcher, she sold the council houses at rock bottom prices as to housing associations association and council tenants. They have tried to someone to pay for this sector. they have all failed. The last reforms made to DWP regarding housing needs rethink. they are not working. The tenants need to be held responsible for their actions. Stop treating landlords as cash cow. with section 24 changes and the government making harder to get tenants out. no one will invest , the Burden will fall on councils and government the house these will people with ever reducing tax receipts to pay for them. build to rent will not work for dss tanents as rental will be high and they will not be able to afford them .Private landlords not invest in this sector as business case does not justify the risk. There is going to be serious problems with economy and the effects or Brexit and Covid have not taken effect on the economy and government will not be able to increase taxes and pay for their vanity policies to please and preserve their vote bank. time to reduce or get out now. .Let the government and whoever feel they have the money invest and buy the houses, let the government give incentive , cash breaks and free money to everyone who want an house.

As A Landlord I will be keeping my properties empty when the tenancy ends. Not interested in letting when I may risk damage to property and non rent paying Tenants and the new court system. Not worth the risk. I will only invest if the outlook increase. I will invest overseas. So I have lost income but I won’t be spending on my letting feed. Tradesman, pay less tax. And let government and council house the tenants whilst reducing tax collections. Lost a potential of housing 10 tenants Not a nice for everyone , when the government is giving tax incentives to support jobs Politician need to address and long term solution.not money grabbing , trying to run services on shoestring budget and dividing the community so the can exploit to suit their political party and aims rather then the country Work ethics do pay you work hard pay tax and when you invest for your future the government pulls the rug on you Better to stay on dole and let government pay your expense Hence no one wants to find job And push for freebies and government only to eager to please them in order not to upset their vote bank Hard times for everyone to follow till the economy forces their hand Expect break down in law and order as everyone is sleepwalking into disaster in next few years.

Nothing is for free, All so called charitable organisation have nothing to do but to get on bandwagon to find a cause to get media attention to justify their grants. those born in last few decades nee to look at the housing market in the sixty and seventy. The market was broken, everyone wanted the council house, and then not pay rent, that's way government sold all council house as everyone wanted free housing and did not want to work, leaving high social security bill. Now freeloaders want to have the same and get universal benefit, or get 80% from government and pay no rent and then refuse to go to work when they are told to go to work , Claiming mental illness not all but you have these so called charitable organisation encouraging these ignorant people that it is their right to get everything free and the world owes them a living so then can go and spent time on Netflix , furnish expensive lifestyle housing standards have improved over last decades and can better with proper enforcement and regulation. but not by councils and government to use as cash cow for their political aims instead of all new regulation and many money making schemes and regulation by the government why make a requirement by council to inspect all rental properties and issues a certificate of fitness to rent , check against all the safety regulation and then enforce it for noncompliance. let the market then find the right level of rent and encourage investment. get rid of section8 and section 21 . making a simple commercial contract with safeguard and immediate easier reposition. the government is paying people in need via universal benefit. reform it for those in need .why are these organisation and media encouraging these groups. IF these carry on BT L is dead , returns is not enough to risk the level of investment of 500k in Londo rent will go up and shortage in rental properties. Resulting to people to move in with their parents, hoping that their parents will fund their freeloading lifestyle. welcome to majority of freeloader with mental issues when they realise the cant get what they want and need to support themselves. For the government lots of debt in building council house, more taxes, and no investment in housing freeloaders not capable to work. I am not renting for time being keeping them empty, review later , get my money out and invest overseas where I get a fair return and less risk, again government is a looser as I will pay less tax. cut grants to these so called housing advise groups and use these money for other worthwhile causes People need understand no body owes them a living and need to take responsibility their own action. whilst I appreciate not all tenants ore freeloaders .The minority are being misled by these so called charitable organisations in pursuit of media headlines and trying to justify their grants and expenses for their overpaid ceo and directors.
