I have not read all the comments or the article for that matter. However I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again “Landlords don’t evict good Tenants” so I don’t care how much it costs scum bags.

Licensing is my bug bear, I agree with penalising bad Landlords, but why do we all need to suffer this expense. It’s because incompetent Councils can’t be bothered to do their job properly.

Be worried, very worried, as someone said, he will do anything for votes. Needless to say all the scroungers and soft headed will vote Labour.

If! The charges are correct, he got what he deserved and I as a responsible Landlord would not defend his behaviour. Also not turning up for his Court appearance speaks volumes, yet another person with an exotic name, who has no regard for Law and order.

So! I have let one of my Properties for 16 years, in that time I have had 5 Tenants. The current Tenant has mentioned ( not complained) mould. I have explained the reason is lack of ventilation, but she can’t get her head around it. The Bathroom is in the middle of the House, but has a ceiling fan vented through the roof. However I have visited 3 times in 6 months, to find the fan isolation switch is turned off. What the hell can a Landlord do about retards like this?.

I have damp in one of my 11 properties. The tenant says she opens the windows, but when I checked the rubber seals on the UPVC were stuck. It needed a degree of force to open them. So told her again “the problem is lack of ventilation “ a year later same thing again. I rest my case!

Don’t have time to read all the posts, but “thin end of the wedge” springs to mind and I wouldn’t trust Andy Burnham any further than I could throw him, He’s Socialist through and through and doesn’t understand that everything needs funding.

If this article is accurate?, it just confirms everything we already know, too many pen pushing Civil servants looking for an excuse to persecute Landlords.

From: Robert Shread 12 January 2024 09:33 AM

Robert Shread
I haven’t read all the Posts, so someone may have already covered this. We don’t need more Houses, we need less immigrants, then there would be housing for People born and bred here. As it is they seem to take 2nd place after migrants, because it would be racism not to give them a house. This Country is in a serious mess, with all the stupid Human rights, racism, and gender equality.

Agree with lots of the comments so far, but would also add that British Gas Engineers in my experience are incompetent and don’t care 🤷‍♂️. They get paid even if they make a hash of a job. I had an incident where BG engineer condemned a boiler. I’m an electrician and also quite capable of repairing a boiler, so doubted his diagnosis. I got an independent engineer to check, it was the Thermocouple £15.00 plus £40.00 Labour. Don’t trust BG!

Air source heat pumps are a flawed technology. They are a result of knee jerk reaction by our Government. They may be ok in Nordic countries where the Houses were built to suit the environment. But the U.K. is light years behind. I definitely won’t be installing any in my properties.

Ian, you took the words out of my mouth. I had a scum bag Tenant who luckily for me needed a bigger House to ruin. So she left, cost me £20k to do repairs etc. As I have said on numerous occasions, don’t expect any intelligent comment from someone who is employed by the Government.

Absolutely Doug, and what result do they expect from the consultation, oh surprise Tenants will approve the idea, so the Council have it rubber stamped. What a sad state this country is in, it’s now a crime to waive our flag. The migrants our successive governments have allowed in abuse the system. The majority of rogue Landlords have exotic names, but you mustn’t say anything because that would be racism. Tenants have rights Landlords don’t, Councils are too powerful. I’m lucky, I have good Tenants originating from many Countries, so I’m not a racist, it’s the scum we allow in that’s the problem. Worse still the Government allows them to stay. What a joke the authorities are in this Country, except it’s not funny.

The spectre of a Labour Government scares the hell out of me, but the Conservatives are courting the Socialist vote at the expense of LL's, Businesses and anyone with wealth.

From: Robert Shread 22 September 2023 12:01 PM

The Bank of England are not thinking about “People” yes we have inflation, but they should not penalize existing borrowers with theses crazy increases. People are trapped, they have no option but to pay or loose their homes or investment properties. Control new spending/borrowing, because new borrowers will know what they are signing up for. Andrew Bailey and our incompetent Government will destroy our economy and just to put that in context, I have always been a Conservative voter, now I wish there was an alternative.

As others have already said he’s partially right, but very wrong on other matters. It does not help LL if someone who is supposedly supporting us starts agreeing with the interfering Government/Civil Servants. Some times I think people go against the flow, just to get their name in print.

Yes! Agree with you all, everything is biased against LL’s, so I am totally against an ombudsman.

Well don’t be fooled by Labour saying they won’t increase Tax rates for People with wealth. Once they are in power, they will find a way to increase Tax rates, maybe under a different label, but they will do it. As for incorporation, I have looked into it extensively and if you don’t have Mortgages or they are minimal, I can’t see the benefit. Except of course to the planners who wanted to charge me £25k, and of course there is no guarantee that the Tax man won’t change the rules.

Oh dear Eve did Adam stand you up! 😂 what a bitter twisted person you must be.

From: Robert Shread 08 August 2023 17:28 PM

Robert Shread
Letting Agents are useless, tried 3 in my 20 years of letting. Been managing my properties myself for 10 years and had far less grief. I find Agents cause friction between Landlord and Tenant and the minute anything gets difficult you’re on your own. They are just a waste of money.

Martin are you really a Landlord?. The idea of owning rented Property is to make a profit, if we did everything the Government told us we would be losing more money than we already are. Also as someone else commented, the Govt haven’t got a clue what they are doing, they are happy to jump into, so called new technology without a care, because when it turns out to be a failure it costs them nothing. They are not accountable for their half witted ideas. We all want a better environment but it has to be properly thought through and by someone who has the knowledge, not a straight from University unworldly MP.

So Social Services expect Landlords to do their job for them. We all know Social services are totally unfit for purpose and staffed in the main with People who could not hold down a job in the real World. So after the Government has kicked us from pillar to post, they expect us to take on responsibilities that have nothing to do with us. Even when they get the Scum that commits domestic violence to Court they don’t apply stiff enough penalties. Whilst it won’t happen they should give these heroes a good beating,

Our stupid Government giving the Tenants the Bullets to fire again. I have a mould issue in one of my 11 Properties, I have repeatedly told the Tenant to ventilate the Property, she tells me she does. However when I arrived at the Property at 9.00am all Windows were tightly shut. As with most modern windows they can be locked in a slightly open manner to allow ventilation. The other issue is lack of heating, now as we all know it's the Landlords fault that Putin started this evil War, resulting in ridiculous energy costs. What will they find to blame us for next ?.

Andrew, you're exactly right, all the approved Scheme Contractors are rip off merchants, they charge at least 50% more than the going rate. Basically they think People/Landlords are as stupid as the Civil servants who dream up these empty gestures.

Another Person interfering, just like the Government. It’s up to the Landlord, and as someone else mentioned some Properties are not suitable. Of course there is always the Tenant themselves, they are often not suitable owners. I have reported one of my Tenants to the RSPCA in the past, the Dog was locked in a cage all Day everyday whilst they were at work. What sort of idiot would get a Dog and do that to it. I love Dogs cant imagine my life without one, but then we treat them like one of the Family. So I suggest Mr Alexander does what he wants and keeps his opinions to himself.

Don’t hold your breath Guys, Government, Civil Servants, etc, are not businessmen, and have no idea what makes the World go around.

I held rents because of Covid, but with the interest rate rises, I will have to now increase rents. What the Bank of England fails to appreciate is existing borrowers are trapped.

Baroness Barmy again! Has it ever occurred to her that the majority of Tenants who complain are bad Tenants that want something for nothing and think they should be able to abuse Landlords with impunity. I have 16 Properties all Tenanted by good People, I have just got rid of one Scum bag, who trashed the Property and did not pay all she owed. Now does it not say a lot that out of 16 Tenants I have had grief with one, and if you spoke to all my Tenants, they would tell you that I am a good and fair Landlord. So perhaps we should have a register of good Landlords, Bad Landlords, good Tenants and bad Tenants. Oh silly me it’s against a Tenants human rights, but fine to victimize Landlords of course.

Sadly, they will just appoint new Ministers who know nothing about the real World or the Rental sector. So to justify their existence and expenses, they will have to dream up some more stupid policies to do more damage to Landlord income.

There are more Rogue Tenants than Landlords, who after not paying the Rent, trashing the Property, upsetting Neighbours are helped by stupid Council Housing Dept’s to remain in a Property. There should definitely be a rogue Tenant register.

I am an Animal lover, but from my experience most Tenants treat their Dogs dreadfully. I have reported Tenants on 2 occasions for locking Dogs in cages all Day whilst they were at work. So the Government are just encouraging Animal cruelty. Tenants and the stupid Government have to realise and accept a rented Property belongs to someone else and should respect their letting conditions.

Yes, but will the Government listen?, no! They will pander to the silly Socialist minded organisations that blindly condemn all Landlords.

One of my Tenants has just left the Property voluntarily. Which was a big relief as the House was filthy, how anyone can live in such filth amazes me. She was supposed to clean the House, Oven and tidy the Garden. But when I went to do the Inventory check out she had done nothing. I told her to get professional cleaners in to do the work and she said she would. However when I went back 5 Days later nothing had been done. Now she thinks I should not claim on the Deposit, she also failed to pay her final rent. This is the sort of Trashey People Landlords have to put up with and still we are painted as the Bad Guys.

Yet another Hare brained scheme that will cause a lot of extra work for Landlords. Also I thought the Government was committed to improving Property standards for Tenants, so how is a Landlord going to do improvements, when the profit has gone in Tax. The Government and all it's departments are totally incompetent, they spend money on stupid schemes that benefit no one, but expect Landlords to adopt this ridiculous idea.

I have a number of Properties, and some Years ago I stopped taking Social Tenants, never had a problem since. Good Tenants don’t get evicted, it’s a no-brainer, why would you remove a good!

Been a Landlord for 20 Years, issued just one section 21 to a Scum Bag, who did not pay the Rent. After I obtained a section 21, She and her Scum Friends trashed the House before disappearing. I involved the Police and a warrant was issued for her arrest, 18 Months later the Police advised She was arrested at the Airport when going on Holiday. Needless to say I was delighted to have spoilt Her Holiday, strange these poor downtrodden Tenants can’t pay the Rent, but can afford Foreign Holidays.

Hi Wendy, I would be very suspicious of your Electrician. The Consumer Unit, or Fuse Box as you call it, does not have to comply to New regs.

Hi Paul I am hardly naïve, been in and around the Construction Industry all my working Life. Built up my Lighting Company from scratch, which was very successful. I may now be retired but it does not mean I have to let so called Trades People take me for a ride. It seems Gas Engineers, Plumbers and Electricians are the worst of the Trades. if we just accept that as Landlords we are fair game, where will this end, we all need to complain the Trades body's etc and keep it in the Public Eye.

As usual with Government Guidance it's vague, if it is left to individual Councils to apply their own Policy on this issue, how can a Landlord know how they stand. I would like to raise another issue whilst here, this compliance requirement is an Electricians License to rip you off. I have had 3 of my Properties tested so far, 2 were fine but the 3rd one failed. However it should not have failed the Electrician put down code C2, which means unacceptable, when in fact it should have been C3 Improvement recommended, he then offered to rectify the non-existent problem for £180.00. I am a retired Electrician so pulled him up on this, he will not now respond to any means of contact. There are several reports of Landlords being ripped off by Electricians on the OpenRent Forum. Landlords should Post this problem on as many discussion sites as possible, and complain to their MP's about this dreadful situation the Authorities have imposed on all Landlords.

I stopped using Agents many Years ago, they were useless,. If there was a problem at the Property they would just send a Contractor without questioning whether it was the Tenants responsibility or could be resolved simply by the Tenant. They also caused ill feeling between the Landlord and Tenant, and since I have run all my Tenancies myself, I have great relationships with my Tenants. Agents are an expensive non- effective extravagance.
