When I pay you rent where is the charity

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 October 2023 11:39 AM

How is it good news for renters, we want homes not assets, who would want to rent knowing you can be booted out any time, model renter or not

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 October 2023 11:38 AM

I dont suppose he or she is happy do you

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 October 2023 10:55 AM

You never cared where your customers end up when you throw them out

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 28 September 2023 13:23 PM

I agree ive been asked to go many times, its because I dont pay my rent, trash the place, sub let, grow illegal drugs, run a brothel, and spend all my rent on the latest iphone , holidays and avocado toast

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 28 September 2023 13:21 PM

Do tell me is their any reason a renter should be able to keep their home

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 15 July 2023 21:17 PM

So you want us to backtrack in time, guess we could add poor houses to your list of wants, your very amusing

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 10 July 2023 12:18 PM

You wouldn't reduce one penny but your profits would rise

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 04 April 2023 22:28 PM

Wow and sadly your allowed to be a landlord

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 March 2023 13:33 PM

What a load of waffle and rubbish

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 March 2023 13:32 PM

People do not want to keep moving why do you assume renters are happy to keep moving but owners are not, moving is expensive

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 18 November 2022 12:34 PM

Im sure your customers are happy to know when you evict its because you dont like the stress, renters are always under stress because of this, you get to sell a property make a profit the renter could become homeless

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 18 November 2022 12:32 PM

Baffling why you use that as an excuse to sell, the changes to section 21 still means you can evict easily, so why that forces you sell ive no idea, non payment is still grounds , moving back in or a family member easy to abuse im sure, or selling, so doesnt that cover all grounds to evict in any case

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 18 November 2022 12:30 PM

This scheme will only delay the unaffordability, in times of financial crisis for millions its always good to see Landlords are putting up rents to ensure they dont have to shoulder the increase in their own energy bills, the only solution I can see is the state building or buying homes and becoming the biggest Landlords as they should not be in the game for profit

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 06 September 2022 10:38 AM

As 75% have pets and im guessing about 65% without asking your biggest market is pets so why would you replace carpets, plus I dont believe you do that in any case

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 05 August 2022 23:02 PM

That should be illegal as well be it rented or owned, yes I can see in a flat block making people take a dog behaviour course and the flat appropriate for the breed of dog

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 05 August 2022 22:59 PM

If successive governments hadnt sold off council or the states properties the private rental sector would be smaller thankfully, but if your a Landlord it has been good for you as its either buy if you can, or the private sector

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 05 August 2022 22:53 PM

Umm I dont know what to say, your customers might be older, how you know they are lazy though I have no idea, if the state is paying then its the state buying you a house isnt it, if they work sadly their work buys you a house. Im sure you will be passing interest rises on in any case, I guess its a good job they pay the rent as it sounds like you cant afford the properties if they dont.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 05 August 2022 22:47 PM

You mean the same way people who work pay your mortgages from their hard work not yours

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 June 2022 00:07 AM

Thats pretty obvious the mortgage company gives you the property and a landlord doesnt, I imagine you once borrowed to buy unless you one the lottery ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 June 2022 00:05 AM

Yes thats right it was all made up and a conspiracy, not

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 June 2022 00:04 AM

So ive always paid my Landlgods never owed rent prior to a section 21 but have been forced to move 7 times in 20 years, so what do you tell me ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 June 2022 16:22 PM

Im not sure where you have been, their hasnt been steady affordable private rentals for a good 15 years, nearly everyone I know has been booted out as the owner wants to move back in or selling, millions might have been cages for decades but millions have also been uprooted every few years

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 June 2022 16:20 PM

Your comment proves why the PRS under current rules is inhuman giving people like you the power to evict and ruin lives as the law allows it , to you booting someone out who is paying is a cost of a postage stamp for a renter its stress, expense and even homelessness in the same way you dont care if thats the outcome why would I care if you want my rental back to sell, I dont care about you and you dont care about me

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 June 2022 11:51 AM

but behind these figures are lives ruined by landlords issuing them and many are not through non payment mine included

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 June 2022 11:48 AM

your right landlords are not charaties thats why ive had to pay my rent for 20 years on 7 properties and all have issues a section 21 and none where for non payment of rent, you are so very wrong

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 June 2022 11:47 AM

thats rubbish, you will still be able to evict for non payment and a load of other get out clasues

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 June 2022 11:46 AM

no people selling up ie retiring or any number of reasons landgods evict, everyone I know inc me issued a sec 21 is not for non payment as you want to convince yourself certainly not in wales

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 June 2022 11:41 AM

YES IT DOES, and yes their is, its happened to me 7 times in 20 years, its bonkers its not often I see any other product is withdrawn because someone decides they dont want your money, their are examples like pet insurance where companies have stopped selling pet insurance, same problem can leave pet owners unable to insure older pets etc as does a landlgod selling up a renters home can mean you cant find a new home and certainly not with 2 months notice

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 June 2022 11:40 AM

Your really are a muppet

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 06 June 2022 21:37 PM

You think its fair that if someone has been paying for a product it is fair or right that it can be in effect withdrawn with 2 months notice. I wish I could buy up all the electricity capacity and water in the UK and decide who I can and can not have that supply, guess that would be ok with you as long as I owned all the utilities ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 06 June 2022 21:34 PM

& for Landlords as well ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 22 May 2022 23:01 PM

You mean those with rubbish hmo's dont want to spend the money making them deaccent, allowing them at all was a bad idea if you live net to one

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 18 May 2022 13:51 PM

unless your once rental home now is air b&b or dont you care about that

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 18 May 2022 13:47 PM

maybe its because they dont have any where to live as they are now air b&b or second homes

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 18 May 2022 13:45 PM

Ending section 21 wont effect any landlord one bit, loads of get out clauses and non payment can still be used ie a section 8, plus selling, moving back in or renting to a relative

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 01 May 2022 16:14 PM

I tried taking my landlord to court for an illegal eviction and two insurance companies claiming for items thrown out, the process was a joke as I tried representing myself, the others had Barristers, everything I said was ignored, I knew I had lost before I even started as to a Judge Renter = bad Landlord = good yes you can appeal but you have just two weeks and they know a self litigator doesnt stand a chance

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 April 2022 09:36 AM

The point is social or council homes are not supposed to compete with the private sector, they are their to offer affordable homes to those not just out of work but the many on low paid jobs that do jobs for services we use, the PRS is in the game for a return so obviously are not looking to offer homes at the lowest price, many in social homes are in full time work, I admit the point system is unfair as it rewards those not working with more points and so on, the rents are not low they are affordable whereas the PRS rents are not affordable

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 April 2022 09:29 AM

Yes selling homes on the cheap and not replacing them & they cant replace them in cities where they have sold them as guess what their isnt any room net door to build them in any case, it was obvious the plan was to privatise housing as is the Torie way, good for some bad for the renter.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 April 2022 09:26 AM

Heck your patronising

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 29 January 2022 10:03 AM

Tell a family that is from the UK about this scheme when they are in some hostel and see what they think about it. Im sure you know my views on uk renting and we already have problems with expensive rentals on short hold tenancies as it is but the council want 4 or 5 bed self contained homes for refuges, dont we all

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 28 January 2022 12:28 PM

I agree thats why the prs sector needs to go, as a renter wants the option to stay as long as they want, I suggest the govt borrows and buys or builds the homes so they become the only landlords in the country, no one can compete with the govt as they borrow for less and dont tax themselves so its a win win for renters and the benefits bill and more importantly relieves landlords of the burden of renting homes, job done

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 18:24 PM

Ive never defaulted and through bad luck every landlord has sold or moved back in, millions of us over a given time span have been forced to move at our expense and often time and time again and for that reason many of us dont like the industry or whatever you call it one bit

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 18:21 PM

The reason is most non landlords dont see private landlords as businesses, ie producing something of worth, more opportunists that at the drop of a section 21 can ruin someones life and make them potentially homeless often through no fault of their own, ie a landlords justs want it back for whatever reason

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 18:18 PM

If you ever had to rent you would find landlords make renters life hell all the time, they can sell whenever they like and issue a section 21 whenver they like and the renter has to spend months looking for a new home and pay all the moving costs, the landlord if the renter moves out without fuss, the cost to the landlord is zero, the renter on the other hand has to take time off work to look for a new home, find thousands in associated moving costs, then repeat in a few years or less

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 11:54 AM

So I guess you made a killing in selling up properties you brought and received rent for years so I think you should be grateful for the renters you have evicted, your welcome to live in the far east with other snobs

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 11:47 AM

Sadly its legal to evict a renter even if they have paid all the rent and a landlord has no obligation to ensure they find a suitable alternative home before you sell ( at the moment ) even under the new section 21 a landlord can evict to sell, to me the best idea would have been for the govt to buy up your properties and continue renting them, they can borrow at almost zero and have to pay no taxes and at the same time offer life long tenancies and cheaper as well

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 11:44 AM

I am always amazed at peoples wording, ie control, if you rent out a property its not yours to control is it, yes a customer should not alter the property structurally, but thats where control should end, you may well think your cutomers like you, in reality they just want a place to rent and call home, they dont want a best buddy any renter probably likes their property owner until they increase the rent, or issue a section 21 or fail to do repairs

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 11:34 AM

So a house owner leaves a property when work needs doing, most do not

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 11:22 AM

Also the majority do none of the above, perhaps if landlords didnt raise rents to pay for the same renters could pay the rents

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 January 2022 11:17 AM

lol none of your business, im working on two projects one a book about how crap the PRS is, I get material from here some times, the other the worlds first hound and human holiday resort, and landlords will be banned unless they allow pets and have an indefinite contract for their customers, which rules all of you out lol, how about you what do you so for living

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 13:40 PM

Nope im not bored im writing a book as it happens called " Fc*k im renting now what ", yep for real and I like to read what landlords think of their customers and now im off to work lol

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 13:36 PM

Ummm sorry I disagree, if you brought a property years ago or inherited their is a huge profit to be made, the few rules and regs are not expensive to administer either. As for reasons landlord sell up are many and varied, ie house prices at their highest ever, opportunities for air b&b, HMO, or simply cashing in. If your mortgage free as a landlord the section 24 doesnt even apply. Letting the PRS grow even larger and reducing rules and regs will not bring down rents at all.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 13:34 PM

Oh and most landlords put rents up regardless of new regulations etc, if you took away all regulations you think rents would fall, no they would not, it would mean still high rents with no controls at all, the few their are arnt enforced and the standards are low in any case as is the allowed epc rating

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 13:27 PM

Why should your rents have had to go up, you have had a steady income for 10 plus years, if you own outright even better for you , youve had an uplift in value of 100's of a %, licences arnt a huge cost compared to your rental income, if its an hmo or student let youll be racking it in , If its an HMO or bedsits I hate the return to how you can get even more rent per square foot and so on. Not everything needs to or should go up, interest rates for example, thanks to aldi and lidl food prices are pretty good if your a savey shopper. HMO;s etc need to be price controlled in any case as its a way of giving people less for more

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 13:25 PM

Rents in Scotland did not rise because of new rules, their are loads of get out clauses to get a property back, as their will be in the UK rents have risen because their is no rent control not for a lack of one, most landlords will charge as much as the market can bare without voids, maybe they keep some rents at the initial rented price but on a renter change over up the rents go. The rents in the rest of the UK have risen and we dont have new rules as in scotland on long term rentals, standards for rentals is very low as it is. I dont know many landlords that upgrade a property once its rented & when they leave most might do a lick of paint thats about it. I dont believe their are many that rent properties below market rates and upgrade as they go along.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:49 AM

yes you can renovate a home with people in it, same as most owners do, also if it needs total renovating you have to question how it got that bad in the first place, lol if you cant afford to heat a place its hardly going to cause condensation, in any case have landlords not heard of automatic extractors, no a council has a very limited duty of care, gone are the days of just turning up and saying hi im homeless can I have a room, no kids no room

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:33 AM

I dont belive the figure of 85% for a start, but putting that aside section 24 effects those that dont own the property and expect the renters to pay for it, rents would have increased with out without section 21 , if this was the case fully owner properties rents would be less, which they are not, show me one landlord that on renewal or a new renter does not put up the rent even if they dont need too, they do, we have no rent controls at all, plus show me the eye watering fines, it the other way round the average fine for an illegal eviction in the uk is 2K at most and thats the few % that even make it into court

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:28 AM

Here lies the problem to a landlord a renter is a product but to a renter their house is their home, landlords would have turned to air b&b no matter what new or old rental laws their were or are, they dont care if extra income means someone becomes homeless and in law they dont have to care

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:09 AM

So what was your suggestion, reduce taxes and so called landlord burdens, no epc rating and no rules on HMO's etc, 1 day notice to issue an eviction, jail not rent payers, sound like a very good idea if your a landlord

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:07 AM

lol a winter private rental im sure that is perfect for a family, NOT

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:05 AM

Indeed that is why the state should be the major provider for homes not Joe Smith with a few homes he might or might not rent out

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:04 AM

I agree with you landlords are in it to make money, renters are in it to have a long term affordable roof over their head, so here lies the problem the two have totally different objectives so as you say the state needs to buy up private housing

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 14 December 2021 11:03 AM

No they wont, thats classed as imtentionally homeless, so what do you think a landlord should apply for the rent shortfall direect & get a full check in the post, then evict them anyway, you run a business so take the hit, not use tax payers money to pay off your losses

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 24 October 2021 13:08 PM

Yep goes to show how scewed the UK property market is when folks pay £160 a week for a shed

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 22 October 2021 13:23 PM

True not sure what the answer is, fossell fuels will run out, its just a matter of when. So a solution needs to be found, personally I think the way forward is solar farms, wind farms on a giant scale, swansea tidl lagoon for example, reservoirs that pump water up when solar and wind available and realease when needed, individual solar and winf etc isnt in my opinion the best way forward, communal heat pump systems maybe, but doing nothing isnt an option either

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 22 October 2021 13:08 PM

I agree sucessive governments allowing the PRS to grow so large was a giant mistake, as was selling off state owner homes, the two just dont have the same objectives, renters want affordable secure homes and landlords want max profit and the option to sell or change use anytime they choose ie air b&b, its the renters that suffer being churned on all the time and in turn casues renters to get into debt or even homeless. The answer is for the state to buy up private properties as they can borrow at a lower rate than any private individual.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 20 October 2021 13:12 PM

So hotels and b&b's close, hotels become bedsits and no one on low pay can afford to live their and staff the tourist attractions and cafes etc cant get any staff, great idea

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 20 October 2021 13:02 PM

Thats rediculous, who the heck is going to staff the shops and the cafes in the area when those on low wages have no where to live and are forced to move out ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 20 October 2021 13:00 PM

Rubbish if they had liceaned and maintained their properties they wouldnt have got fined etc, the old chesnut if you makes things harder well leave the market, same could be said for every walk of life, you need renters as much as they need you, remeber they are your customers

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 20 October 2021 12:54 PM

All good points, if the schemes are going to work it does mean laws to in effect force every house owner to carry out the changes be it owner occupier or rented with a combination of loans or grants or chrages on properties, without a planet their will be no need for any houses at all

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 20 October 2021 12:29 PM

Yer right millions are allergic to dogs, so your telling me they dont go out as loads of places do take dogs like the London Underground, trains busses, cafes etc. Many of us dog owners are allegic to dog haters as it happens but we have to put up with that

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 10 October 2021 12:54 PM

Lol your halarious, not

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 10 October 2021 12:52 PM

And your renters are your customers and you should be best placed to remember that

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 10 October 2021 12:51 PM

hardly if you let her do that then everyone would just built whatever they like, were a 1st world nation not some tin pot backwater

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 28 September 2021 01:38 AM

What a load of rubbish, my Landlord has paid a letting agent but apart from that almost nothing in years, ive spent loads of my money getting the place ship shape, why because my rent is a bargain, but landlord or no landlord you cant just build what you like when you like, they had ample warning not to build the extension or take it down they did neither

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 28 September 2021 01:35 AM

So you think people should be able to build what they want any way they want ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 28 September 2021 01:29 AM

I have no idea what your on about

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 28 September 2021 01:28 AM

I hope I never have to rent and certainly not from you, im working on a new venture yep its all about dogs & im banning anyone that discriminates against dogs, so your banned & im sure my doggy human customers will support this

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 14:06 PM

I totally disagree with you

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 14:04 PM

No it doesnt matter who owns the house, once leant to someone it becomes their house and home, yes no structural changes but apart from that you should have no right to dictate who a renter decides to live with be it human or animal

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 14:03 PM

Funny that I dont know one renter that has dogs that has ruined a property

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 14:01 PM

Once you take payment for the loan of a house its not your house or home so no you dont have a right to dictate anything

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 13:59 PM

Many renters are allergic to landlords, personally im allergic to many humans but have to put up with passing them on a daily basis

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 13:57 PM

and you dont think renters have even more hurdles to jump through, the average sentence for an illegal eviction is £1500 and community services, landlords know this and the shady goings on or forced illegal evictions is unreported and in the knowledge its unlikely that x renters will even push for a prosecution as in reality no one cares and the courts seem to see it as a minor offence when in effect its devastating for the renter who probably has PTSD & lost personal items etc, the DPS is run by companies that also sell landlord protection insurance, conflict of interest ect etc

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 13:54 PM

Lol whats have you got pets got to do with it, a person who trashes a house would do so with or without a pet, every pet owner I know looks after their rented house as its hard to find a rental property that allows them ( until the law is changed ), so its ok for a borrowed mortgage property to allow pets ie the banks allow it but not ok if a renter wishes to have a pet on a borrowed home, that seems fair NOT, how about the renter can they check to see why a landlord had to go to mediation as well, thought not

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 16 June 2021 13:49 PM

Thats because no one likes landlords, one reason read the comments on here to realise a renter reading this would hate landlords even more

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:37 PM

I agree a huge new state built housing programme so very few private landlords needed, I hope it happens

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:34 PM

yer right when a landlord is convicted of an illegal eviction etc the average fine is 1k hardly a deterrent

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:33 PM

hardly that rented home will either be brought by another landlord or someone who is renting will buy, only sad part is someone has to be evicted to sell that home in many cases

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:32 PM

yep I have the same problem finding a good landlord, an honest one

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:30 PM

you think two months notice to up sticks find a new home and the money to move is fair, seriously ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:29 PM

I think what you are suggesting is council housing, of which 40% plus are now in private landlords hands

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:18 PM

rubbish, often they are in work, low ish pay & have already had to move many times in a number of years , you make sweeping statements, then again so do I most landlords are awful their you go

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 12:17 PM

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 11:45 AM

Rubbish, tenants do not get a subsidy, yes many would move if they have a bad Landlord etc but its expensive and time consuming, lets face it currently landlords & renters hate eachother but until their is a mass state built housing programme we sadly need eachother

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 11:41 AM

rubbish I could give you many examples, out of the last 7 houses ive rented every landlord but one has either moved back in or sold even though they promised it was a forever rental, if only landlords had to rent themselves to see how ridiculous section 21 is

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 11:36 AM

nope hes totally right

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 21 April 2021 11:34 AM

I am sure you are aware the UK housing market is well and truely broken, holiday homes, second homes just adds to the problem and certainly does not reduce house prices, many working household can not afford to buy, these are the people that clean the holiday homes & stack the supermarket shelves

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 29 March 2021 10:26 AM

I am sure those that are forced to rent for 6 months are non too happy that they have to go elsewhere in the summer, its ironic that you dont seem to see this as a problem, devon & cornwall have a undersupply of homes & rents are high as they have to compete with air b&b

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 29 March 2021 10:22 AM

yes their is, they can sell, move back in, evict you just becasue they dont like you, they dont need a reason, even if you are a model renter your security of tenure after 6 months is a poultry 2 months to up sticks, im guessing you have not rented or not for a while, try it and see how you like it

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 March 2021 17:42 PM

No dogs dont have loads of rights, the average fine for dog theft when prosecuted is 1K, the average fine for an illegal eviction about the same

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 March 2021 14:53 PM

Nope councils are not obliged to house everyone lots of get out clauses

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 March 2021 14:52 PM

Sounds like prison to me or probation. The problem with private rental its a game of luck, if your unlucky your landlords might all sell up even if your the model rentor you can be booted out with two months notice & the cost of moving falls on the renter, if your unlucky this can happen every year or more if your really unlucky. Imagine how you would feel if a mortgage company had a huge list of rules, they could if they dared

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 March 2021 14:50 PM

To Andrew Townsend, The reason no government has built homes is 40 plus % of them are Landlords, no political party has dealt with landprices ( far too high) the reason why affordable homes to buy & rent cant be built as we did after WW1 & WW2 & considering governments can borrow at under 1.8% APR yes they should have been buying up existing homes & building new ones, also on new homes they have built only to be sold on at cost price & the deeds state no BTL, either sold to someone that wants a home as a home or sold back to the state, in a nut shell.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 27 February 2021 20:55 PM

yep like when they had a vote for safer minimum standard homes legislation the Toriies voted against it, safer home what next

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:36 PM

Yer who needs smoke alarms, fire doors & a safe home.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:34 PM

If a home is up for sale that means its either going to be brought by someone renting currently or brought by another Landlord, the sad part is a person has probably been given notice for the house to be sold, spare a thought for those that are always being churned around from one rental to another though bad luck & Landlords selling up & costing them a few grand to move each time

Yes maybe in some cases, but I believe the council housing list is large as you get more security of tenure & more affordable rents, but since many are run by housing associations you dont always get life long tenancies any more either, the UK housing is a mess be in rented or buying

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:19 PM

err no, if a renter is paying rent they are a customer that you should be grateful for, is a customer of Tesco supposed to be grateful that they let you shop their, think you have it the wrong way round.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:15 PM

I suggest the state builds homes so you can all sell up

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:11 PM

Its not the job of those that pay the rent to subsidise those that dont and those that cant

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:08 PM

Indeed shelter are useless on all counts, in all their years they have not managed to make the lot for renters any more secure or got one single law changed, I dont think they are liked by renters and despised by Landlords

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:06 PM

I agree it was never a good idea to put housing citizens in the hands of the PRS, it should have been the job of the state to house its citizens, the PRS should only ever have been used for those in the process of buying or selling a home as a temporary stop gap, or students even then it should have been the job of Universities to supply homes for its students, those that for whatever reason need rented home for the long haul need security of tenure for life if they wish, & your right thats not the job of the PRS, so what we need is state built homes at affordable rents on compulsory purchased land at current use prices ( plus a bit a compensation ) and then landlords wont have this worry as they wont be needed hardly at all, problem solved

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:03 PM

Lets assume the renter has done nothing wrong and are the ideal renter, two months notice has never been long enough to find not just any house but a suitable one, in the right area, price etc, often viewings can be weeks away and even after viewing multiple viewers apply, this can take weeks and if you dont get the property two months can come and gone, a house buyer is never under such pressure to be forced to buy in a set period, this is why 6 months is well overdue and in some cases still not long enough in my view

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 15:18 PM

Renters are customers, how would you feel if you went into Tesco and they said if you are a good boy we might let you shop here

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 15:10 PM

It wont make any difference as if you are desperate for a home then youll take anything or be homeless so all itll do is mean you know that your rental ride will not be pleasant and many renters will still have to take the property, best idea is to Nationalise Letting Agents and all landlords have to use them

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 November 2020 12:40 PM

Maybe landlords also need a passport to ensure they are fit to rent, ie manners etc and this fee of say £500 can go to the dogs trust

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:45 PM

utter rubbish so every home owners house is trashed by their dog and by default renters are sub species and by default leave pee and poo all over the place utter rubbish

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:43 PM

rubbish, my dogs have never damaged a property plus I have a industrial carpet cleaner, when you rent a property the day you receive income it becomes someones elses home to do as they wish as long as they dont structurally damaged it

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:41 PM

I agree that leases that ban pets should also be outlawed and form of pet discrimination is unacceptable

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:37 PM

Im sorry it might well be your property but once you rent it out its not your home its the renters and apart from structural changes what they do in their home is non of your concern, your statement is why landlords are hated by your customers.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:36 PM

Thats why selling of council homes was stupid & relying on the PRS to supply home short sighted, if they had not sold them off and built more or brought more from homes for sale then you wouldnt have needed as many prs properties saving you from all the problems you say or think you have, problem solved.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 11:28 AM

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 11:22 AM

Wow what a load of drivel, many working people are on low income the very same ones that pack your shelves make up your amazon orders and so on, many are on zero hours contracts, if they cant pay their rent its not because they booze it away, you just made that up, banks etc have frozen interest to help people etc, you sound a very nasty person to be honest

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 11:21 AM

I disagree if their are too many rental properties surely those with the best value rents with well maintained properties will have no void periods at all, being greedy leads to the sector being disliked and governments intervening

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 11:13 AM

Id rather rent a property from say Tesco than from you, so indeed lets push for giant well governed corporate landlords with life long contracts, glad you agree

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:48 PM

God bless you kind sir

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:46 PM

and the human rights also states a person has a right to peaceful enjoyment, heres the thing I say pay all my rent model tennant but my landlords can issue me a sec 21, do you think that is right of fair ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:33 PM

Im afraid Landlords just dont get it, they are not liked and many renters have no choice but to rent though lack of gov built social homes, they think its fine that they can kick someone out using sec 21 with 2 months notice even if they are model tennants, the only person that likes a landlord is another landlord

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:29 PM

You do realise that for many in work the wages & high cost of rent means they can not buy, when I shop a Aldi its because I want to, for many renters they have to rent because they have no option and since millions of social homes have been flogged off and not replaced it allows landlords to have to atitude you either rent from us or go homeless, I blame not making BTL illegal and the gov not building new homes

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:25 PM

The best thing the government can do is help you all by becoming the largest house builder again to sell homes that can never be BTL & build millions of social houses on land purchased at current use prices, problem solved no private landlords needed, also id bring housing associations back under local council control

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 14:06 PM

You sound charming

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 14:02 PM

Good job im not in government as id be banning HMO's and capping the rent

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 18:28 PM

I would like to see the state become the largest player again in rentals and properties to buy but ensure the deeds do not allow any sold property as a real home to be allowed to become BTL, then again im a zero fan of PRS

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 18:27 PM

lol and if this caught on the laws can change to only allow one home to have lodgers & thats your scheme finished, thats the problem with BTL, HMO etc its a dirty business

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 15:35 PM

I think he has a point, in reality relying on and allowing mortages on BTL was a stupid idea, in the distant past when someone died, upsized or downsized that property would have been brought by someone as a home, today millions of homes do not go onto the open market for generation if ever as they have become an investment. Obviously selling off state owned council homes was a vote winning con as many who once say worked and lived in a affordable council home now could be forced to rent the very same property at double treble the rent, bonkers. If you think about what you are saying if being a Landlord is so hard he will be doing you a favour and he intends to make the state the main provider of rented affordable homes again , this will save billions in housing benefits, so im sure you'll agree as a tax payer that makes sense . I think he has got of his arse and realises how many 100's of thousands have their lives wrecked by having to rent in the PRS, inc insecure tenancies, rising rents etc

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 15:32 PM

Im sorry rising house prices does not help the economy one bit unless your a mortgage company or a landlord, its the only product that mention a rise as a good think, cant recall anyone saying good news petrol prices are on the up, unless your BP, housing does not create products or goods or services to sell or export, basing an economy on rising house prices is foolish

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:35 PM

And as you exit you potentially make people homeless, thats nice, us renters share your dislike of Landlords as a group its safe to say the dislike is at least mutual

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:30 PM

Thats the problem when governments have not invested in their own properties inc private house purchases and to a LL a property is an investment but to a renter its their home, do you ever wonder what will happen to those you turf out, I doubt it, thats why I think its a toxic business

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:26 PM

entrepreneurship by definition is a risk taker, or innovator, renting out homes is showing neither it does not create extra jobs it just prevents a property being an owner occupier home rather than an investment, it just creates life long rent slaves

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:17 PM

" good tennants behaving themselves " , I wasnt aware that a renter was on realise from prison but your right thats how renters are made to feel on continual probation, upset your Landgod your out plus im sorry no matter how as you put it behave yourself that doesnt stop a landlord evicting you to sell, HMO etc a property

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:10 PM

What you mean is if you pay a lot you get a better house and the poorer you are you have to take what you can afford regardless of how crap it is, to be a rougue landlord doesnt just mean a poor condition house, it can be someone who is OCD keeps a renter on a periodic, my solution nationalise letting agents and the state takes a greater control in rental prices and condition etc, yes you get some bad renters very bad but same for landlords

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:04 PM

I dont believe those figures, but even if I did 16% are not, that means several hundred thousand people are not happy, that said it still doesnt detract that private renters have no statutory security of tenure, meaning several million people can not tell you with certainty where they will be living in a years time or what their rent will be and thats why the PRS is not good

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:01 PM

Oh thats right every renter has no money becasue they buy Avacado toast, yawn

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 June 2020 13:39 PM

You show exactly why we need the courts, as it is I know many Landlords who have told me they ignore the laws as it currently stands, ie they still send in the heavies. Once in the UK you went to jail for being in debt and if could repay ie debtors prisons, maybe that could be you one day, this is still the law in many arabic countries You sound like a total tool and should not be a Landlord as all

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 June 2020 13:37 PM

lol since when have Landlords given a dam about renters, im glad the politicians can see the lunacy of Brexit its time the PRS shambles comes to an end, in any case the result was very close and if you factor in those who live here who couldnt vote, expats couldnt, 16 year olds and those that didnt vote hardly a landslide result

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 19:10 PM

Lol now you know what its like to be a renter peasant

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 19:07 PM

The alternative should be to revert back to when the state was the main provider of rental homes, they should be building and buying up homes to rent and not relying on the not fit for purpose PRS, that said neither is the social housing sector

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 19:05 PM

Im sure the same was said about not abolishing slavery, thankfully it was eventually, you mention property rights, how about the rights of the renter or dont you think they deserve any either, your mortage company wont evict you if you pay your morgage, but a Landlord can even if you have paid your rent, just a pathetic two months notice to pack, move and find the money to do so, Landlords only see if from their perspective im afraid

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 18:57 PM

Yep your right Landlords are not liked by their customers and Landlords dont like their customers, boads well

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 18:50 PM

I think the best idea is for the state to build and buy property as an alternative to the private rental sector allowing all private landlords to exit the market for good and just maybe the renters might actually get a home for life again and sparing the Landlords the stress of having to rent out property and all the problems it creates for them and can go find somewhere else to park their money, just a thought

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 18:46 PM

Wow with views like yours its no wonder landlords are disliked, if the banks hadnt been complicite in offering BTL mortgages the sector would have been much smaller and the properties that are now BTL would have been someones actual home not some product or yield, I hope either Labour or Lib Dems do something about the attitude of this rental sector, many people the ones that stack the shelves serve your coffee can not afford to buy and instead have to put up with smug people like you

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 17:01 PM

Hardly those who brought years ago own outright and will go on making a killing

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 03 June 2019 17:51 PM

I know what next renters will want security of tenancy & to know their rents cant go up above a certain amount & as for rent control that will effect my bottom line, ill just make more rooms in my many HMO's

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 03 June 2019 17:49 PM

Interesting perspective, renters havent chosen the PRS through choice, the PRS has a steady stream of people who have often two choices, PRS or homeless, the PRS isnt liked by its customers because the PRS is more concerned with vilifying renters than actually making a product the customer actually wants. Its easier to tell your boss to stick his job but telling your landlord to get your house sorted ie repairs can mean the street or at the very least very inconvenient move . In reality a consumer can choose most products on ethical grounds reviews etc but not in the PRS, you wont know what your landlord or letting agent is like until you have moved in, bit late by then. The PRS isnt responsible for 83% of new dwellings they have hoovered up existing properties & often carved them up into HMO's the next boom industry no doubt
