Landlords are ' clearing the dead wood ' in advance of the vindictive legislation supported by those who purport to stand up for tenants ( and even some who should be standing up for Landlords ! )

Ultimately, 99% of Tenancies are ended of the Tenants volition and of the long court Possession claims process, the overwhelming evictions are justly deserved.

The more legislation on the PRS is inflicted upon the PRS, the more Tenants will ultimately suffer.

No matter what legislation is concocted, there will always be Tenancies that need to be ended and always Tenants that need and fully deserve Eviction.

All the Kings horses and all the Woke politicians - Tenant groups will never change that fact.... Read More

... " Landlords facing the greatest costs as a result of these measures will be the ones providing the poorest service to their tenants " -
Where on earth did that thesis emanate ?

So this legislation is so clever it will change apples into oranges... Read More

The ' data ' that CIEH quote seems to be very similar to that of the recent Citizen Advice's claims about tenants complaining of mould. - a very flimsical study lacking statistical rigour or statistical significance. ( courtesy of YouGov - who are a bad joke )

Its important to recognise the stats,
85% of tenants are satisfied,
99% + of tenancies end of the Tenants volition.
CIEH are trying to fix something that by and large, isn't broken.

Besides, its important the landlord is present, so he can offer a balanced explanation to the EHO who then has to consider this and the state of the property to make a decision on what, if any action to take.

House inspections when only one interested party is present or has knowledge, - is like having a trial with witnesses whilst the defendant is not present or even aware !

Finally, it should be noted, again, that it is Propertymark that is speaking up for landlords, and not the NRLA.... Read More

Labour are not concerned with raising revenue to support those who need it, but raising funds to pay for their Union paymaster (rulers) Pay-rises.

Labour don't even know what a worker, or a woman is anyway, even if they were inclined to help them.... Read More

I've a very detailed article on this on my web site, including references to case law ( and yes, it applies to commercial properties. In fact, we have been consulted on considerable items left at commercial premises after a tenant vacated )

We receive many hits on this page ;

That's correct Stella,
The main reason NRLA members joined is for the Advice line, that they find reassuring if they find themselves with a pressing question - in a pickle.

I offer FREE Advice, so that takes the main reason members join, 'off the table '... Read More

It was only up and running since last year. It doesn't have a website, but a steering group of some of the members.
It held its inanugral launch last November at Propertymark HQ in London where the (then) Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Committee came to address us.
There are actions ongoing which when they come to fruition, will likely be reported here.... Read More
