I am sure you are aware the UK housing market is well and truely broken, holiday homes, second homes just adds to the problem and certainly does not reduce house prices, many working household can not afford to buy, these are the people that clean the holiday homes & stack the supermarket shelves

I am sure those that are forced to rent for 6 months are non too happy that they have to go elsewhere in the summer, its ironic that you dont seem to see this as a problem, devon & cornwall have a undersupply of homes & rents are high as they have to compete with air b&b

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 29 March 2021 10:22 AM

DAVID EDMUNDS
yes their is, they can sell, move back in, evict you just becasue they dont like you, they dont need a reason, even if you are a model renter your security of tenure after 6 months is a poultry 2 months to up sticks, im guessing you have not rented or not for a while, try it and see how you like it

No dogs dont have loads of rights, the average fine for dog theft when prosecuted is 1K, the average fine for an illegal eviction about the same

Nope councils are not obliged to house everyone lots of get out clauses

Sounds like prison to me or probation. The problem with private rental its a game of luck, if your unlucky your landlords might all sell up even if your the model rentor you can be booted out with two months notice & the cost of moving falls on the renter, if your unlucky this can happen every year or more if your really unlucky. Imagine how you would feel if a mortgage company had a huge list of rules, they could if they dared

To Andrew Townsend, The reason no government has built homes is 40 plus % of them are Landlords, no political party has dealt with landprices ( far too high) the reason why affordable homes to buy & rent cant be built as we did after WW1 & WW2 & considering governments can borrow at under 1.8% APR yes they should have been buying up existing homes & building new ones, also on new homes they have built only to be sold on at cost price & the deeds state no BTL, either sold to someone that wants a home as a home or sold back to the state, in a nut shell.

yep like when they had a vote for safer minimum standard homes legislation the Toriies voted against it, safer home what next

Yer who needs smoke alarms, fire doors & a safe home.

If a home is up for sale that means its either going to be brought by someone renting currently or brought by another Landlord, the sad part is a person has probably been given notice for the house to be sold, spare a thought for those that are always being churned around from one rental to another though bad luck & Landlords selling up & costing them a few grand to move each time

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:26 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Yes maybe in some cases, but I believe the council housing list is large as you get more security of tenure & more affordable rents, but since many are run by housing associations you dont always get life long tenancies any more either, the UK housing is a mess be in rented or buying

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:19 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
err no, if a renter is paying rent they are a customer that you should be grateful for, is a customer of Tesco supposed to be grateful that they let you shop their, think you have it the wrong way round.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:15 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I suggest the state builds homes so you can all sell up

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:11 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Its not the job of those that pay the rent to subsidise those that dont and those that cant

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:08 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Indeed shelter are useless on all counts, in all their years they have not managed to make the lot for renters any more secure or got one single law changed, I dont think they are liked by renters and despised by Landlords

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:06 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I agree it was never a good idea to put housing citizens in the hands of the PRS, it should have been the job of the state to house its citizens, the PRS should only ever have been used for those in the process of buying or selling a home as a temporary stop gap, or students even then it should have been the job of Universities to supply homes for its students, those that for whatever reason need rented home for the long haul need security of tenure for life if they wish, & your right thats not the job of the PRS, so what we need is state built homes at affordable rents on compulsory purchased land at current use prices ( plus a bit a compensation ) and then landlords wont have this worry as they wont be needed hardly at all, problem solved

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 16:03 PM

Lets assume the renter has done nothing wrong and are the ideal renter, two months notice has never been long enough to find not just any house but a suitable one, in the right area, price etc, often viewings can be weeks away and even after viewing multiple viewers apply, this can take weeks and if you dont get the property two months can come and gone, a house buyer is never under such pressure to be forced to buy in a set period, this is why 6 months is well overdue and in some cases still not long enough in my view

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 15:18 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Renters are customers, how would you feel if you went into Tesco and they said if you are a good boy we might let you shop here

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 February 2021 15:10 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
It wont make any difference as if you are desperate for a home then youll take anything or be homeless so all itll do is mean you know that your rental ride will not be pleasant and many renters will still have to take the property, best idea is to Nationalise Letting Agents and all landlords have to use them

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 07 November 2020 12:40 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Maybe landlords also need a passport to ensure they are fit to rent, ie manners etc and this fee of say £500 can go to the dogs trust

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:45 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
utter rubbish so every home owners house is trashed by their dog and by default renters are sub species and by default leave pee and poo all over the place utter rubbish

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:43 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
rubbish, my dogs have never damaged a property plus I have a industrial carpet cleaner, when you rent a property the day you receive income it becomes someones elses home to do as they wish as long as they dont structurally damaged it

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:41 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I agree that leases that ban pets should also be outlawed and form of pet discrimination is unacceptable

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:37 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Im sorry it might well be your property but once you rent it out its not your home its the renters and apart from structural changes what they do in their home is non of your concern, your statement is why landlords are hated by your customers.

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 12:36 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Thats why selling of council homes was stupid & relying on the PRS to supply home short sighted, if they had not sold them off and built more or brought more from homes for sale then you wouldnt have needed as many prs properties saving you from all the problems you say or think you have, problem solved.

your all heart

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 11:22 AM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Wow what a load of drivel, many working people are on low income the very same ones that pack your shelves make up your amazon orders and so on, many are on zero hours contracts, if they cant pay their rent its not because they booze it away, you just made that up, banks etc have frozen interest to help people etc, you sound a very nasty person to be honest

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 11:21 AM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I disagree if their are too many rental properties surely those with the best value rents with well maintained properties will have no void periods at all, being greedy leads to the sector being disliked and governments intervening

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 November 2020 11:13 AM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Id rather rent a property from say Tesco than from you, so indeed lets push for giant well governed corporate landlords with life long contracts, glad you agree

God bless you kind sir

and the human rights also states a person has a right to peaceful enjoyment, heres the thing I say pay all my rent model tennant but my landlords can issue me a sec 21, do you think that is right of fair ?

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:33 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Im afraid Landlords just dont get it, they are not liked and many renters have no choice but to rent though lack of gov built social homes, they think its fine that they can kick someone out using sec 21 with 2 months notice even if they are model tennants, the only person that likes a landlord is another landlord

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:29 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
You do realise that for many in work the wages & high cost of rent means they can not buy, when I shop a Aldi its because I want to, for many renters they have to rent because they have no option and since millions of social homes have been flogged off and not replaced it allows landlords to have to atitude you either rent from us or go homeless, I blame not making BTL illegal and the gov not building new homes

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 16:25 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
The best thing the government can do is help you all by becoming the largest house builder again to sell homes that can never be BTL & build millions of social houses on land purchased at current use prices, problem solved no private landlords needed, also id bring housing associations back under local council control

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 14:06 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
You sound charming

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 26 August 2020 14:02 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Good job im not in government as id be banning HMO's and capping the rent

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 18:28 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I would like to see the state become the largest player again in rentals and properties to buy but ensure the deeds do not allow any sold property as a real home to be allowed to become BTL, then again im a zero fan of PRS

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 18:27 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
lol and if this caught on the laws can change to only allow one home to have lodgers & thats your scheme finished, thats the problem with BTL, HMO etc its a dirty business

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 15:35 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I think he has a point, in reality relying on and allowing mortages on BTL was a stupid idea, in the distant past when someone died, upsized or downsized that property would have been brought by someone as a home, today millions of homes do not go onto the open market for generation if ever as they have become an investment. Obviously selling off state owned council homes was a vote winning con as many who once say worked and lived in a affordable council home now could be forced to rent the very same property at double treble the rent, bonkers. If you think about what you are saying if being a Landlord is so hard he will be doing you a favour and he intends to make the state the main provider of rented affordable homes again , this will save billions in housing benefits, so im sure you'll agree as a tax payer that makes sense . I think he has got of his arse and realises how many 100's of thousands have their lives wrecked by having to rent in the PRS, inc insecure tenancies, rising rents etc

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 17 August 2020 15:32 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Im sorry rising house prices does not help the economy one bit unless your a mortgage company or a landlord, its the only product that mention a rise as a good think, cant recall anyone saying good news petrol prices are on the up, unless your BP, housing does not create products or goods or services to sell or export, basing an economy on rising house prices is foolish

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:35 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
And as you exit you potentially make people homeless, thats nice, us renters share your dislike of Landlords as a group its safe to say the dislike is at least mutual

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:30 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Thats the problem when governments have not invested in their own properties inc private house purchases and to a LL a property is an investment but to a renter its their home, do you ever wonder what will happen to those you turf out, I doubt it, thats why I think its a toxic business

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:26 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
entrepreneurship by definition is a risk taker, or innovator, renting out homes is showing neither it does not create extra jobs it just prevents a property being an owner occupier home rather than an investment, it just creates life long rent slaves

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:17 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
" good tennants behaving themselves " , I wasnt aware that a renter was on realise from prison but your right thats how renters are made to feel on continual probation, upset your Landgod your out plus im sorry no matter how as you put it behave yourself that doesnt stop a landlord evicting you to sell, HMO etc a property

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:10 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
What you mean is if you pay a lot you get a better house and the poorer you are you have to take what you can afford regardless of how crap it is, to be a rougue landlord doesnt just mean a poor condition house, it can be someone who is OCD keeps a renter on a periodic, my solution nationalise letting agents and the state takes a greater control in rental prices and condition etc, yes you get some bad renters very bad but same for landlords

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:04 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I dont believe those figures, but even if I did 16% are not, that means several hundred thousand people are not happy, that said it still doesnt detract that private renters have no statutory security of tenure, meaning several million people can not tell you with certainty where they will be living in a years time or what their rent will be and thats why the PRS is not good

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 13 July 2020 13:01 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Oh thats right every renter has no money becasue they buy Avacado toast, yawn

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 June 2020 13:39 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
You show exactly why we need the courts, as it is I know many Landlords who have told me they ignore the laws as it currently stands, ie they still send in the heavies. Once in the UK you went to jail for being in debt and if could repay ie debtors prisons, maybe that could be you one day, this is still the law in many arabic countries You sound like a total tool and should not be a Landlord as all

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 02 June 2020 13:37 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
lol since when have Landlords given a dam about renters, im glad the politicians can see the lunacy of Brexit its time the PRS shambles comes to an end, in any case the result was very close and if you factor in those who live here who couldnt vote, expats couldnt, 16 year olds and those that didnt vote hardly a landslide result

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 19:10 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Lol now you know what its like to be a renter peasant

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 19:07 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
The alternative should be to revert back to when the state was the main provider of rental homes, they should be building and buying up homes to rent and not relying on the not fit for purpose PRS, that said neither is the social housing sector

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 19:05 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Im sure the same was said about not abolishing slavery, thankfully it was eventually, you mention property rights, how about the rights of the renter or dont you think they deserve any either, your mortage company wont evict you if you pay your morgage, but a Landlord can even if you have paid your rent, just a pathetic two months notice to pack, move and find the money to do so, Landlords only see if from their perspective im afraid

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 18:57 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Yep your right Landlords are not liked by their customers and Landlords dont like their customers, boads well

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 18:50 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I think the best idea is for the state to build and buy property as an alternative to the private rental sector allowing all private landlords to exit the market for good and just maybe the renters might actually get a home for life again and sparing the Landlords the stress of having to rent out property and all the problems it creates for them and can go find somewhere else to park their money, just a thought

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 18:46 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Wow with views like yours its no wonder landlords are disliked, if the banks hadnt been complicite in offering BTL mortgages the sector would have been much smaller and the properties that are now BTL would have been someones actual home not some product or yield, I hope either Labour or Lib Dems do something about the attitude of this rental sector, many people the ones that stack the shelves serve your coffee can not afford to buy and instead have to put up with smug people like you

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 23 September 2019 17:01 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Hardly those who brought years ago own outright and will go on making a killing

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 03 June 2019 17:51 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
I know what next renters will want security of tenancy & to know their rents cant go up above a certain amount & as for rent control that will effect my bottom line, ill just make more rooms in my many HMO's

From: DAVID EDMUNDS 03 June 2019 17:49 PM

DAVID EDMUNDS
Interesting perspective, renters havent chosen the PRS through choice, the PRS has a steady stream of people who have often two choices, PRS or homeless, the PRS isnt liked by its customers because the PRS is more concerned with vilifying renters than actually making a product the customer actually wants. Its easier to tell your boss to stick his job but telling your landlord to get your house sorted ie repairs can mean the street or at the very least very inconvenient move . In reality a consumer can choose most products on ethical grounds reviews etc but not in the PRS, you wont know what your landlord or letting agent is like until you have moved in, bit late by then. The PRS isnt responsible for 83% of new dwellings they have hoovered up existing properties & often carved them up into HMO's the next boom industry no doubt
