It may be too late, there may be too little rainfall in the Amazon basin to sustain replanted trees. There has been such deforestation that the local climate may have been irrevocably altered. But I agree, plant trees everywhere, after all they are an asset to the landscape in addition to removing Carbon Dioxide. As to not felling them, surely we need sustainably harvested wood for everyday living?... Read More

Carbon capture would not be a waste of time if every nation contributed in both reduction and capture, especially China, India and the USA.... Read More

Not only expensive, but far inferior in quality to the accommodation which I provide.... Read More

"But where do these tenants then go?"

Not to my property, for I will no longer consider anyone who is likely to qualify for Legal Aid. Twice bitten forever shy... Read More

I totally agree, the present and to a greater extent the proposed rules keep the rogues in place at the expense of decent tenants. Never again will I house a tenant who is likely to be in a position to claim legal aid.... Read More

Sorry to disillusion you, but that is just not so, the judges have sneaky ways of disallowing even mandatory grounds. I had a tenant nearly a year in arrears and the judge advised her to find some disrepair to offset the arrears and adjourned the case so that she could find something wrong. The disrepair surveyor found no disrepair. It took nearly two years and cost me £12k to get her out. Cost to her, £nothing.... Read More

"monister", did you mean Minister or Monster? I think the latter may be the more appropriate term.... Read More

Careful Mick, you could be in trouble with a remark like this - they may have gone to Harrow.... Read More

Do you have any seeds or cuttings for the magic money tree, for I could do with growing a few?
Blow the tenants, what about some funds for freezing Landlords?... Read More

I wonder how many of these 2000 problems were category 1 hazards and how many come under the "curtain rail broken by the tenant" category? Statistics are wonderful, they can always be interpreted to your advantage.... Read More

Yet another example of the ineptitude of Generation Rent.... Read More

Take them to court for a little less than they owe and then in five and three-quarter years take them to court for the remainder. That stuffs them for 12 years... Read More

“There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.”

Doe the cap fit Mr Pennycook?... Read More

It matters not what they say about landlords or me in particular. I have a long queue of decent people wanting accommodation, willing to wait until a property becomes available.... Read More

Or knot his tie.... Read More

I had a stock of over 20 dehumidifiers, every time I put one in a flat the tenants stole it.

Then there were the endless arguments over the electricity cost. Dehumidifiers cost nothing extra to run, as the electricity used heats the property. Explaining the law of conservation of energy to tenants I found to be a complete waste of time and effort.... Read More

I know several in the same position. Regrettably, reporting them to Benefit Fraud has no effect.... Read More

She may have left, but the tenancy still subsists, so your friend should continue with the court action. Scandalous I know but it's the law.... Read More

This tax hike will of course encourage landlords to finance new builds!

Whilst justified for second homes which remain empty for at least half the year, how is penalising property purchased for rental purposes going to aid the current housing shortage?

The war, sorry 'special military operation', on Tenants continues, for it is tenants who will pay the price.... Read More
