It's great to see articles arguing the commonsensical support of the PRS who professionally supply homes to 15-20 million people and have been under vicious assault for some years now. But the government aren't listening, they're not being hurt by this YET and they don't care about families losing their homes and rents rising, reducing the money families have, they'd sooner have a shared enemy of the people they can deflect all their woes onto instead of dealing with the housing and other issues they don't have a clue about rectifying.

Jeff Knight isn't affected nor does he have any skin in the game and non of his friends and families are amongst the 44,000 families who've lost their homes as a result of the early days of S24 where only 25% of this tax is biting. Once it is in its 4th year, hundreds of thousands of evictions will occur as landlords like every other business in the world can't pay tax on the legitimate expenses of running their businesses plus on their profit. Maybe Jeff should understand the gravity of this issue for landlords losing their businesses and investments, and their clients the tenants losing their homes before trying to put his name out there amongst the plethora of uneducated idiots that think this is good as it ruins landlords.

The lib dims voted for Vince, that’s enough to tell anyone what a bunch of utter dimwits they are. The only way Vince could make a comeback is as the first transgender leader of the lib dims. Our MP in Twickenham was a characterless humourless dull unengaging uninteresting letter shuffler. He couldn’t look you in the eye when conversing, it was like being taken through the process of burying someone you didn’t care a hoot for and you had no doubt at all that he hadn’t taken a single word you uttered seriously and that stuff all would be done, achieved and result from your meeting. Old commies keep on going in denial as they think they will be immortalised. This one will be forgotten as an achiever but remembered as a waffler and ditherer who only touched celebrity by accident of the ballot box. Having an enemy that is easy to stigmatise is the only talent of the liberal Dimocrats and most politicians journalists et al. It beats having ideas and making sure they get into action and completed with financial accountability, just like PRS landlords do every day. The politicians are mostly verbose deadbeats who are terrified of being held to account and risk averse nobodies. Keep going fellow landlords, it can’t last forever.

Lipstick on a pig! This demonstrates that councils haven’t a clue by offering pathetic checks we already do whilst we’re drowning in taxes and legislation which will drive 150,000 PRS let’s from the market this year. It’s a bit like giving out free smoke alarms during a forest fire that is moving towards your village at 20kph. Useless tokenism.

Thats very helpful Andrew, why didn't we think of that, whilst were swanning about raking it in. I suppose you think the draconian legislation, imposed costs and Section 24 are all a good thing, depleting landlords of funds need for maintenance, boilers, repairs, insurance, licensing et al so they provide rented accommodation to a family at even higher prices to cover costs, most of which are imposed by council and government experts who accuse landlords of hiking rents!! Christ they're a bunch of geniuses! Where do people think the money to pay for these unnecessary imposed costs comes from? Your assumptions are just such, landlords are being squeezed out of the business of providing rented accommodation via a plethora of unnecessary and damaging measures supported by an ideologically driven hate campaign against the most successful collection of housing providers in the UK. Perhaps supporting, incentivising and teaming with the PRS would improve not only the provision but would certainly grow much needed rental stock as we the PRS are responsible for 83% of all new dwellings since 2004. Why would you damage such a valuable, creative self driven collective that should clearly be the major go-to group for growth in housing provision in the UK? Because they sit back and wait? I don't think so Andrew!

High time our feckless politicians listened to this impending disaster of their making and reversed this idiocy now.

Thanks to the only accepted hate campaign in the UK, landlords are forced to take emergency steps or leave the market NOW Section 24 (introduced by our tenant friendly Einstein, George Osbourne) forces landlords to pay tax on their mortgage interest payments, yes money they paid as a legitimate cost of doing business and supplying housing to people who choose to rent or can't afford to own yet. But big landlords won't have to do this, why? I don't know, but probably to take smaller landlords out of the market so rents rise and the big landlords can charge more because the sector is losing rentable houses at an extraordinary rate. Its a bit like charging Taxi Drivers tax not on just their profits, which is normal throughout the world, but to also charge them tax at 40% on all of their expenses, fuel, car payments servicing, yes they'd be out of business in 2 weeks or so because no one can afford to pay tax on money that isn't theirs, in their bank or profit as its known. So what happens when landlords are faced with this? 1. Rents go up to try to pay for demands from the Government - Result Families are asked to pay more rent as the money must come from somewhere - those who can't afford it are left homeless 2. Landlords sell their properties to save bankruptcy and tenants are evicted and are left homeless 3. Landlord can't sell the portfolio as there isn't anyone prepared to pay enough to cover the mortgages - landlord is bankrupted and all tenants are evicted and homeless 4. The landlord has millions in his bank account and pays these ridiculous taxes despite making a huge loss for years and tenants get to stay forever - (just joking folks). The losers are Tenants (and landlords), most or all tenants are pushed to pay more rent or leave. This is because the Governments pernicious legislation, a tax on income targeted ONLY at the private landlord (because we are horrible people apparently), this is forcing rents to rise to unheard of levels (and they blame landlords in the press). Landlords can't afford to pay for endless fees for a plethora of legislation as all of their money comes from tenants. And the government despite their waffle don't care about you. Only landlords care about tenants, because tenants provide the rent to keep their business going, and that is why the vast majority of landlords and tenants get along very well and honour each others commitments, as they need each other. The rogues are a very small number but the councils are to bloody useless to deal with them, its easier to blame landlords than do what your paid to do? Distraction distortion deflection!
