Maybe Tenants should be put through a competence test to make sure that they are capable of using equipment in a rental property. They can then be tested periodically to make sure that they comply with current legislation!! Just a thought.........

As a Letting Agent, first port of call is the Lender. If they say No DSS then it's no DSS. Many Landlords are accidental and not professional and therefore the income derived from the tenancy is crucial as it will be for the professional. DSS money is not guaranteed, is not always paid on time and can be reclaimed by the DSS. Insuring for loss of Rent will be almost impossible. If you want the DSS tenant out the Local Authority will tell them to stay and wait to get evicted so they can then house them. So if a Landlord refuses DSS then why shouldn't they without punitive measures. Perhaps the Councils should build more accommodation, perhaps those in Social Housing who can afford to buy or privately rent should do so and release property to those in need! Just a thought.

I am sure there are many Landlords out there who will be happy to have 'no deposit held' for dilapidations! ...NOT. I think some people forget that the deposit is not held for rent arrears, it is there for end of tenancy issues such as damage or cleaning, replacement if items etc and the Deposit Protection Schemes are in place for that. If the Landlord wanted a rent protection there will be an insurance for that, so too Legals for Court costs. Some tenants think that once they move in then they can stop paying rent. Many HB tenants are better than well paid fully employed tenants. It should not be that 'an insurance can cover that attitude' runs first in the mind of the tenant. Perhaps the tenant is paying the premium as they should insure their rent? The Landlord shouldn't have to pay. Care needs to be taken in any event as there may well be fewer properties in the rental market once the Government tax changes hit home. Property numbers will drop, Rents will rise, tenant numbers will rise, the Landlord can then pick and chose who they want. You can hear it now...' I don't want a tenant on benefits!' An awful lot of care needs to be taken with the rental market to protect all sides.

Why doesn't the court force her to sell some of the property she owns. Then perhaps ban her from being a Landlord. This action shows a complete disregard for the law, but the court allowing a relatively small amount to be paid each month allows her to basically stick two fingers up at the system.
