Well why not buy a house and gift it to them

Before the government meddle in the bringing private renter’s property up to a good standard. Looking into their own stock of rental offerings would be a start . Housing associations are not efficient and are also poor at repairs. If private landlords were as negligent in their repairs they get fined etc where /when do councils get fined?

Perhaps if an agent is not undertaking an inventory or photo record of how to property looked when taken onboard, this should be emphasised by the agent and perhaps request the landlord to provide the photos when the tenant. How can an agent do inspections without phonographic references. Annoyed Landlord perhaps your advice is good. I do know as of recent investigation other agents do the inventory/photo referencing on taking on a tenanted property. Thank you

So I pay for rent collection and the organising of safety certs. Also my agent does not update me on the external condition as when I decided to visit for myself I had to organise the external painting. So Jeremy if I as land lord need to take responsibility for an inventory then it would make more sense for me to manage the collection of rents and organise the certs and repairs my self. 15% of monthly rent is a lot for rent collection .

Perhaps when a renter takes over the property they should take som responsibility for some small repairs. Example one of my tenants when I decided to hand over to an agent suddenly had a list of repairs. Leaking tap in en-suite, shower tray damaged, bath panel ruined with hair dye and kicked in. The tenant took over this rental the day painting was finished and new carpets were laid the house was in perfect condition. Also for some reason the handle to the master bedroom was removed and a man’s sock put in the hole. He told the agent that the house was like that when he move in . This was only 8 months into renting he said he did not raise it with me as he thought when fixed the rent would go up. Sadly I was told by the managing agent that when they take on occupied rentals they don’t take any photos nor inventory . So all was fixed. Is it standard practice in the rental market for professional agents not to take photos or an inventory if the property is tenanted?

Some of the councils as I understand are investing in being developers buying up land and buildings under companies which the council set up to do so and my understanding is the directors are counsellors?? Has anyone discovered this is the case in their council? How can a body financed by the tax payers create private companies and compete with experienced developers? Again one such council overpaid for a large building and took 5 yrs to complete 3 yrs over run. They also removed balconies out side space which professionally developers are pressurised to provide. Perhaps that explains some bankruptcy within councils.

It appears to me that the laws already in place is an xxx unfair Renters signed a lease agreement stating that the lease will finish on a certain date or by a set amount of time which the tenant or property owner must give notice to terminate. In the past I had had the correct paperwork to which the tenant was ordered by the court to pay the significant arrears and vacate on a certain date. The tenant did vacate but not on the date ordered by the court several days later. NEVER paid the arrears. This to my mind is a breach of court instruction which I believe the courts should follow up and enforce, not the owner. It looks to me like if one works hard give up a lot of time to ensure their financial security this will not be protected by law. But if one rents for what ever reason the law will support them in every way possible even at the expense of the property owner or indeed the Tax payer. Do we have a new title for this type of government /society because it is not fair nor is it democracy.

Is this a new practice I think not just look at the history of house sales especially when stock is in short demand.

The strangest thing is he is advertising to Landlords that he is taking that path. How very odd

From: Anemarie Nolan 11 October 2022 14:05 PM

Exactly what I am referring to. Edwin and Kay comments are more to do with sniping than the topic in the article. Have your fun but leave me out. By the way whether one is a landlord or not, is irrelevant as long as it is an opinion on the topic rather than you two bickering like children.

This sounds more like dating web page . I’m only interest in informative exchanges. I’ll leave ye both to it.

From: Anemarie Nolan 26 June 2022 11:10 AM

I don’t believe these exchanges are either informative or relevant. Can we leave the kindergarten and behave like professional adults.

From: Anemarie Nolan 24 June 2022 13:09 PM

What is the point of having a contract which dates a termination date. Surely at the end of a lease agreement date the tenant has to be made aware that the landlord is either willing to extend the lease or wants his/her property vacated. That sounds fair and sensible and in agreement with the Tenancy Agreement. Am I missing something here??

From: Anemarie Nolan 21 June 2022 10:31 AM

It would be a move in the right direction if social services are more even handed, i.e. also instructed the tenant that the rent should be available when the repairs were done Surely it should be part of Social services to education the tenant and inform them of their obligations as they do when they deal with landlords it would appear tenants have rights this is the message sent from the top and supported by other organisations like shelter

It’s not surprising that AirBnB has increased. The way the government and charities are battering landlords. I feel that tenants have more rights than hard working Landlords. TV programs highlighting slum landlords what about tenants who abuse their rented property and say oh I didn’t pay rent because the landlord has not made the repairs. I recently watched such a TV programme, tenant withheld rent to the tune of £9k however when social services got involved on the tenants behalf it was clear the tenant who was on benefits was unreasonable. Landlord did the repairs social services satisfied. Tenant was able to continue to rent. Believe it or not when the arrears was raised she had to enter into a payment plan. If she was truthfully withholding rent in order to get maintenance done why did she not have her withheld rent in the bank. Very cheap renting for some months this is not acceptable. Why is it there are bodies organisations /government who expect landlords to give all the time, but where is the deterrent to tenants not to abuse the property and not to ignore ttheir agreements which is to keep the rented property in reasonable condition. Rant over

Council are setting up lol companies the board is made up of councillors. The council is tax payers money to out bit professional developers thus increasing costs to developers and the house mkt. These new companies set up by councils and run by councils and councillors are generally inexperienced and the recent operation in Eastbourne is years overdue. This is not what councils or councillors are employed to do.

From: Anemarie Nolan 10 May 2022 15:07 PM

In East Sussex the council set up companies to buy out a development properties. These are limited companies and it’s board is in this case made up of councillors and takes great effort to find out the names of directors. In this particular instance had a commercial developer been responsible he/she would have been challenged for removing balconies and possibly challenged by the Health and Safety body. Why are councils competing with commercial developers and out bidding them. The council are using tax payers money did taxpayers agree with this. I would point out that once these council investments are complete they go on the market for Sale and or rent at market prices. Where is transparency and fairness

How does this compare with council own rentals.

From: Anemarie Nolan 09 May 2022 09:27 AM

Landlords live I assume in a house or a flat. Landlords are the same as tenants they too live in a house or flat and have the adult responsibility of responding to the request of the council waste department and environment agencies to recycle. Do we assume that the government Mp and councillors alike believe tenants to be less intelligent ? I’m a landlord not a babysitter or law enforcer.

Why don’t councils work with the existing agencies, instead of doing a start up which is expensive and as history tells generally they fail which is a serious burden hon the tax payer, especially when councils are saying they a close to bankruptcy and making cuts in services. Working with existing professionals to me is a no brainier.

Perhaps if landlords had the same protection from rogue tenants as the tenants enjoy from rogue landlords. Perhaps Airbnb would not be so attractive.

For many years. I have been stung by the lack of legal support when it comes to protection for my property and income. I worked hard and decided not to be a burden on society and invested in rental properties so, in my retirement years, I would have a pension income I could live on. I don't have a Government job, nor a local authority job where my work pension is safeguarded by the employer/taxpayer. In, fact private pensions were lost by many a result of the Labour Gov's Chancellor's interference. Don't get me wrong I have excellent tenants, it is only the one or two rogues who give a bad reputation to the majority. But we as LL provide accommodation to those who would prefer to rent rather than buy, when renting one pay's rent, as LL we pay a mortgage, if tenants don't pay they cannot be asked to leave, they get 6 months notice, at the LL expense. The problem with that arrangement is the tenant leaves after 6 months and the money the tenant owes is in majority of cases never retrieved as it cost more in time and money to achieve payment. The rogue tenants go on to do it again to another LL. On the other hand the LL because of non-payment from rogue tenants falls into mortgage arrears, and the mortgage lender shows no such mercy ie write the interest of and there is nowhere for the LL to hide, it is paying up and look happy, which in many cases means selling up. The plan to have a half-decent pension has been taken away. I think the harder I work the less help I get. I should stop working sell up enjoy myself for as long as the funds last and then go on benefits. I have had the experience of renting a 4-bed to lady with 3 children who got divorced, did not work and was living completely on benefits and was a great tenant, who had more disposable income than I who was working 60 hours a week. Can someone explain the fairness of this? It is possibly a long time ago since Baroness Kennedy found herself struggling to make ends meet, we need politicians who understand that while their job is to govern the country, it needs to be done fairly, reward those who are trying to better themselves and not be a burden to society, rather than making it easier for those who seem to believe they are owed a living. Perhaps Baroness Kennedy and her contemporaries should speak to the man/woman in the street who are trying to contribute. Perhaps the restrictions on evictions should only apply to those who are in government rentals. I wonder how our do-gooders would feel if they had a property abused by a bad tenant and left them with a bill of thousands of £s, I suspect they would feel as aggrieved as any of us LLs who have found ourselves in that particularly stressful situation.
