There will always be a rental market in the uk and home ownership is not a reality for everyone. Fairer rents will be absorbed by the market with the added benefit that renters will be able to afford and pay their rent on time. It is where rents are 60-70% of income that difficulties begin for both the tenant and landlord. Where rent is not paid the issue of affordability would work in favour of the landlord in the view of the judiciary. Don’t misunderstand me, it is not the responsibility of landlords to mollycoddle tenants, but the benefits of affordable rent would allay many of the issues landlords face. Rents do need to include a sink fund for repairs, a contribution towards adequate insurance. For long term buy to lets landlords will have more flexibility in rental options as mortgage ratios change over time. The rental market is strong and will outlast brexit insecurity, we cannot say the same for the governments ambitious house building policy.

In the current market it is wise to have a broad portfolio. There are practical issues with overcrowding not only for the tenant but also for the landlord. For the tenant this will likely be access to basic living requirements and health and safety, for the landlord increased wear and tear, dispute and potential for criminal prosecution. Building control notes minimum requirements for amenity which must always be adhered to. The main issue is that a properly managed asset would never lead to this situation as it is in no ones interest. This particular case was about greed not about maximising generated income.

Think you’ll find a lot of the legal powers come under The Localism Act, The Landlord and Tenant Act and the Town and Country Planning Act. It does not confer police powers but it does allow Councils to bring action in criminal cases, similar to other enforcements such as noise abatement or powers under the Anti Social Behaviour Order Act.

It is not racist, it is dealing with a criminal act. House overcrowding purely for profit is both dangerous and inhumane. In this particular instance, the court was correct. It is time that social responsibility was at the forefront of reasonable and prudent letting management rather than benefiting purely on the hardship of others. Decent housing should be a priority for any provider be it in either the private or public sector. This is not a judgement on the culture of housing abroad but of the culture of housing in this country and, I, for one, am happy it will not be tolerated.
