Labour to launch major review of private rental sector

Nandy says ‘Housing isn’t a market, it’s a fundamental right’. So is food. So let’s treat the food market the same then.

Housing isn’t a market, it’s a fundamental right... So is food but I don't see any bans on supermarkets increasing prices... What a joke! Tory... Labour... They're all crap as far as landlords are concerned... I've got 2 going on the market shortly... I'm out!

What a surprise! Socialist idiots attacking anyone who puts any effort into life.
Perhaps 🤔 I should get myself a 90 inch Television, cans of larger, a onesie (if that’s how you spell it) sit on my backside and do nothing. Seems to be the way to go in
the U.K. now.
I am one of the ethnic minority now, worked all my Life, still working at 73!, never been on the dole, had my own business, employed People, never had any debts. Oh and hush my mouth I’m White English.
Is this really what English People want ?,
The Labour Party will destroy this Country, they will give in to every half witted Union Leader and destroy our economy. I should just mention that I think the Conservatives have made a mess of it, but just wait until Starmer and the bitter Red Head are in power.
Be careful what you wish for!

Nandy full of s@@t needs to resign now

Maybe we are not too badly off in Wales compared to this draconian proposal then. Lets see how all this pans out in Wales and Scotland as an indicator of what will happen in England. My Welsh properties are going ,as the new Welsh legislation is bad enough.

"It’s a fundamental human right". What a load of toss. Even if she was right, then why isn't the Gov't the provider? Why does it fall to the PRS to provide this human right?

Why are we charged for water, gas, electricity? Food? Surely they're Human rights if housing is?

Anyway, she's not right. It isn't a human right. Silly cow.

CCJs will be pouring out of the courts. If I can’t evict you I will make life difficult, I will screw your credit history, I will cause them as many headaches as possible.

😱😱 we’re doomed I say 😂😂, oh well at least we know how bad it will get in 2 years time, just enough time to evict and sell…. If the Conservatives don’t bring in what Scotland has to stop us selling 🤔🤔.

With this bunch of "left wing" want every thing for nothing parasites More homeless, more B&B's and Hotels with homeless and Illegal immigrants, more Landlords will leave the market, rents will rise, and Tenants will suffer. Bring it on!

Shadow levelling down Secretary Lisa Mandy is on a parr with the current Conservative levelling down Minister Mr Gove determined to create more homelessness and has being very successful at that.
It’s my fundamental right not to house others people.
My Property is my your fundamental right, what on earth would give you that mad idea.

Sigh, yet another politician that is totally confused about the differences between PUBLIC and PRIVATE housing.
Lisa, if you're so concerned about the rights of tenants and the quality of housing, how about you make a start on that sector that belongs to all of us, public sector housing. As recently publicised, much of it is in a dreadful state. Oh wait, that'll require a load of tax £'s and a lot of competent hard work, sadly lacking in the public sector.
Never mind. Let's just bash the PRIVATE landlords, who by the way, generally provide much better quality accommodation. Far easier to be seeing to do something rather than actually doing it!
How about you sweep your side of the street clean before criticising the other side!

Housing is a fundamental human right is duty of the government.
A landlord is a citizen who has put his saving or invested alot of money by borrowing money from a bank and expecting some return.
Why the government and the labour party trying to put the burden of their failure on the landlord,
I see the labour are going to damage the property market,if they come to the power,
It is unrepairable damage to the property market, I am sure many landlord are going to Move their investment from the UK abroad with
a return of 13-15% abroad,and get off the over regulated system, while the tenants get less choices an risking of being homeless

Well that's all fine, if they do all that there will be pretty much no PRS. They will then need to find a few hundred thousand properties and some mugs to manage them. Good luck with that.

Hope they start by sorting out the shameful standards of social housing under Labour councils.

Election coming up, labour must be thinking, quickly, bash them landlords to show them tenants whose side we are on, bound to pick up a few votes from the ‘not so bright ones’ who cannot connect the dots and realise it will backfire on them as it always does

The Sad fact is that Both Parties have encouraged mass emigration. With 300000 or so people arriving in the Country there is bound to be shortages every where.

Private Landlords are not the Problem they are the solution . now as they were in 1988.
Instead of these clowns trying to hide their catastrophic mistakes they are blaming Private Landlords .
There are probable 300000 fewer properties to rent now than five years ago . Due to Councils and Government policies to drive us out.
The answer is simple , Encourage Private Landlords , We can and will house the people who desperately need homes and cannot get a mortgage. Helping Landlords to Provide Houses to Tenants is the best and only solution to solve the problem

So housing is a human right is it???

So answer me this Nandy
1. Is food a human right and if so what will you do about food prices?
2. Is being warm a human right? And if so what will you do about energy prices?
3. If either of the above are not human rights, why not?
4. As housing is a human right - how many houses will you build to facilitate this right, how quickly, and with whose money?

Chances of getting a straight answer to any of the above in an interview? Better odds on the national lottery……

David I agree mostly but some that came from Eastern Europe were very good and many a positive contribution to the Country, they had to be houses of course but big numbers were builders and helped increase the housing stock, built extensions at done loft conversions.
Others came by many parts to milk the system and free housing, goodness knows we have enough of them home grown,
The Benefit system, Housing policy and Taxation is in truth the real cause of Housing shortage or alleged homelessness.
Why save up to buy or get enough for a Deposit and wait to have a family, have it all now for free get on the Council with some children sorted.
The working couples will pay the tax to keep you all including your child allowance.
Wait until in their 40’s to have no more than 2 kids, pay for their own Mortgage’s and get no Child Allowance that they contributed towards for years.
Well out of balance now, anything that’s free you’ll never have enough, particularly true for Council Housing waiting lists they are not queuing up to buy are they.

If you want to make your home your own, then you buy it freehold, not rent someone else's property. Then you can make whatever changes you wish - subject to planning rules.

Tenants will never have landlords' consent to make landlords' property their own - that is a Communist agenda, and we do not live in a Communist country.

Lisa Nandy, ridiculous with her Cuckoo suggestions, take over other peoples property and make it their own, then go altering as if they are capable even more often than not if they interfere with the paint work it’s a disaster hard to put right and sometimes cause mould with rubbish paint.
Let them have pets crap everywhere, chew & scratch the furniture, I have seen wheeley bins with 2” of dog crap stuck to the bottom for months, blame the landlords & fine him for this as well, a couple of mad dogs it’s a great way to keep LL out when not paying I have had all that and the New Detached House I Built in Croydon recked.
I would love to see Lisa Nandy build it, work 7 days a week for 8 months to do it with no income, a loan around my neck my Bank Account well in the red and the tax implications, does she not know any of this. JUST HAND IT OVER nice one. Plenty more encumbrances and adverse rules and costs attached to this….

So sorry for ever doing it no return eventually I sold paid c/gains on inflation why bother.
Incidentally it has been sold twice since each one making over £100k profit tax free and the use of the accommodation while they lived there, the last one only had it 4 years, all off my back really, anyway hand it over it their fundamental right.

There are two things which tenants can do to ensure that they are living in a decent home.

The first is to tidy up regularly.

The second is to clean regularly.

I stopped reading when they mentioned Lisa Nandy

SMH

Lisa Nandy doesn’t understand anything from what I can see. She actually things 13 year olds should be listened to regarding changing their sex.

I agree. I haven’t seen the massive rise in S21s yet. Perhaps some people are adopting a wait and see approach I don’t know.

I genuinely feel scared to be a landlord. Instead of being the ones with the power (which should be kept in check by the government) we are going into a perverse situation where the owner is at the mercy of the government and tenants. Tenants are sometimes tenants for a reason and don’t need to be given any power!

Labour Tory , two sides of the same corrupt coin , giving us the illusion of choice

Trouble is - if we all sell up, aren't we playing into their hands and making the PRS and all landlords disappear?
We are in a political game and I for one am not going to give in to them . Those of us who stay will be left in a market with high demand for few properties - and we know what that means.
So long as "they" don't tell me who I can have as a tenant, CPO my portfolio or regulate the rents (which I frankly can't see happening even in Ms Nandy's bizarre mind) I'm still in for the long term. Other opinions are available.

Nandy says: “Housing isn’t a market. It’s a fundamental human right.

“That’s why Labour has set out plans to tilt the balance of power back towards tenants through a powerful new Renters’ Charter and a new Decent Homes Standard.

howabout

Claiming enormous office expenses, an mps right

Look up Nandy’s …

Look up Namdy, look up Nadhim Zahawi sacked by Rishi Sunak, involved in negotiations to settle an under declaration of tax and penalties with HMRC while Chancellor of the exchequer having control over that Department at the time hmmm.
Then we have Mr Michael Gove the Secretary of State responsible for destroying the Private Rented Sector commenting on the dismissal and talking about the Highest Standards, Professionalism and Integrity a bit rich coming from someone who was previously sacked by the Prime Minister for double crossing him, a fine one to talk of Integrity he is not fit for Office and should resign before he’s allowed to do more damage or Rishi Sunak has a bit more sacking to do to save the Economy. Also wasn’t this other part of the issue that brought down a former premier, a fine lot they are to be discrediting Landlords.

Housing is a right for those who are unwell and a right for those people who have got up off their backsides and worked for a living

David Lammy , highest expenses claims of all , most for his office in Tottenham

Works out more per sq ft than one in Mayfair 😂

Didn't Nandy want to replace the Army with "a gender-balanced human security force"????

Rayner the gym slip mum spent about £12k on first class travel tickets. Who does she think she is?

CGT is not only a heinously unfair form of double taxation, it a way of ‘locking in’ LLs who cannot afford to sell.
It is a ‘sequestration’ tool for the Gov, now getting concerned re an impending housing catastrophe.

Mike Georgeson. Before I give you any details, who are you? If you're one of these companies popping up all over the place hoping to scoop up landlords properties at well below market value, I'm definitely not interested and you're wasting your time. I don't need that type of service and can afford to wait for a reasonable price. Thanks.

Unfortunately,with landlords all bets are off. I believe that Starmer is more left wing than Corbyn, but not anti Israeli.He was at the WEF with Blair ( who still thinks he is PM).

In their blinkered quest for power Gove and Nandy, Tory and Labour see landlord bashing as a vote winner and will squeeze the PRS landlords until the pips squeak and landlords become as rare as rocking horse manure as per pre section 21. Bad news for those looking to rent is, rents will be going into orbit and already high homeless figures will go ever higher. Only then after many years when it's too late will the penny drop and the then government will try wooing landlords back.

Landlords please let’s concentrate on being landlords and trying to save our livelihood and investments, now being so unfairly treated and attacked by almost everyone many of whom have no in put to our Business.
This is the general public used by Government & local Authorities to destroy private LL’s who provide housing for millions with their own finance.
This is because every so called consultation don’t just involve the ones directly concerned ie, Tenant & Landlord but general public with no direct input or financial burden so they can knock LL’s tick any box they like and join the fun past time, always giving Councils the slewed results they want.

Corbyn was a complete and utter idiot, just like his loony Brother.
