Up to 80 tenants evicted thanks to council banning order on landlord

Not true, I have had contact with councils, Labour run, they want to destroy landlord’s business at any cost. They couldn’t care less about the tenants also.

A private landlord in Scotland who owned 7 flats in Glasgow got banned, ie, struck off the Landlord register about one year ago , as he did not have 2 up t date EICR ( Electrical Safety Reports ) and 2 gas safety reports even after he explained that he could not get the required qualified tradesmens to come out during covid to 2 of his flats..even although everything else was ok as regards the numerous ` safety certifications ` for his other 5 rented flats this private landlord had to serve notice to leave on all 19 private tenants not on just the tenants in the 2 flats that he could not get any tradesmen to come out during covid to carry out the Councils gas and electrical ` safety checks . This is nothing to do with Councils gas and electrical ` safety checks and `protecting` private tenants this is to show private landlords in Scotland who the real bosses are and they the Scots Gov and the Councils in Scotland are good at installing fear and exacting punishments in Scotland on so called ` rogue ` private landlords who rent their own private properties to private tenants who desperately need flats or houses to live in..then they wonder why there is a mass exodus of private landlords in Scotland. I spoke to my letting agent last week in Scotland and he told me he has never seen anything like in his past 20 years in business...he is getting phone calls from some people who pleading with him and who are crying on the phone to him who cannot even get a viewing to even see a flat to rent in Glasgow..you could not make it up but this is now the reality due mostly to The Scots Gov interference over the past 10-15 years in private ownership which has impacted the vast majority of private landlords and private tenants.

The above type `banning ` of private landlords is just another example to prove that the people in Gov in the UK and their Council enforcers could not find their way out of a phone box..and I wonder if the people who made this ` banning` order which has in effect made 80 people homeless have the ` required ` gas and electrical safety certification in their own houses or is it just the safety of private tenants that they are concerned about not the `safety` of their own families who live in their own homes..its the old divide and rule again..one rule for them and another rule for private landlords or perhaps its jealousy that they cannot do what most private landlords have to do to stay in business

I got banned during covid by Rent Smart Wales when you could not evict tenants anyway, for not paying my renewal fees when I had alrady paid them twice as requested by them. The absolute stress this caused while trying to sort it out from my home in Cyprus was unbeleivable. The response to my follow up complaint did not include an apology, just excuses as to why it happened.

Possibly your right 'more to this' but there is probable wrong wrong on both sides. That all the LL's tenants appear to be on periodic tenancies is suspect.. We all have had tenants who don't want (or can't be bothered) to sign a renewal tenancy but 80 seens a lot.
I would support periodic tenancies to become roll over tenancies just to stop the likes of shelter screeching about supposed arbitrary two month notices. Landlords would have one opportunity per tenancy contract /roll over to serve an expiring Section 21. LLs need to embrace sensible reform. The Renters Reform Bill is not sensible.

Council could have carried out the repairs themselves and then invoiced the landlord or taken a charge against each property

Too late, they are sure to win 🆘🆘🤡🤡 I haven’t voted for them, but most people I know will be doing 😳
