I had a tenant who wanted to have a rent free period as he was waiting to move into a council house but none were available. So made it clear that no rent meant court action and eviction via the high court without delay and he would then have a problem being housed. Funny how he sorted it out in 10 minutes flat. As Andrew and Robert said - take very hard and immediate action, don't mess about talking just get on with it. Not only will he have trouble with many future landlords he may want to buy a car, get an overdraft and he will be screwed from all directions. Revenge is a dish …….

Looks to me like the tenants are being offered up to a 6 month rent reduced/free period. So why are landlords only being offered a 3 month payment holiday by lenders? The mortgage debt will not go away and the period will only be extended. The debt my not increase but it will not reduce. This should be clarified to tenants that it is only a possible delay in making rent payments and not a rent free period as a time when nothing is due to be paid. At the end of this rent reduced/free period the debt is still due for any rent unpaid.

Good that he put a 2% surcharge on foreign buyers. Why did he not reduce the home buyers surcharge to nil or no more than 2% with a much higher surcharge on non-domestic buyers. 5% would have been a sensible, but then we are talking about politicians who lack common sense and a functioning brain.

Smith is calling for a “common vision across government...…" Well there is no chance of this ever happening. You just need to watch a short clip from the House of Commons and there is absolutely no way on this planet that there will ever, ever be a "common vision". We are all wasting time and energy we will need in our old age trying to get the bunch of idiots running this country to listen to us and our common sense ideas and logic to fix the broken housing system, there is no money in it for them so why should they bother.

This looks to me a bit like the climate issue. The governments say that there is a problem (kind of done that for both climate and housing). Pledge to fix the problem (kind of done that for both climate and housing). Actually get on and do something about it (kind of not done that for either).

And all the time commercial properties especially in the retail sector are failing landlords the residential market for these investors will grow year on year.

Don't think landlords provide chargers. It is a tenant thing and if they are cheapskates then they buy cheap foreign i.e. fake chargers and when they catch fire it's usually at a cost to a landlord. 5 year or change of tenant electrical test is a good idea and PAT tests where portable appliances are installed by the landlord also a good idea. Again tenants install many items themselves and it comes back to the landlord to prove he did not supply. Inventory works every time. Good idea to make tenants pay for PAT testing their appliances but when would they agree to this?

P B it seems that this and previous governments are doing just that, supporting non paying tenants by the ponderous system currently in place.

Lets think this one through. All landlords are unable to profit from renting. The contribution to income from rent saves all landlords from becoming the feckless hanger on scum we all so despise. We will then be reliant on state handouts to be able to live a half decent existence. Wonder how will all this state handout get paid for? Certainly not by tax paying landlords that's for sure. And with so many more hangers on the UK then becomes a third world country. Time to emigrate perhaps?

"LL would do far better getting rid of any property that could not easily achieve EPC C status to naive homeowners whose last consideration in any buying process is the EPC status of the property.........

This also puts all surveyors who report to lenders and buyers and solicitors who advise in the same group. More fool you in putting that tab on buyers and their advisers. They are likely more savvy than you might think so don't put them in the same class as you are clearly in by making such a foolish statement.

Condensation is caused by a high water content in the air and a cold surface on which the water can then condensate. This then is the breeding ground for black mould growth. A good Damp Proofing contractor can tell you this and how to avoid the consequences but nobody seems to take any notice of contractors who need to charge for the advice they can give. Don't give a tenant something you have written yourself as this can be challenged by the simple words 'what qualifications do you have to be able to state this'. Get the money out and pay for some proper advice in a leaflet form that you can issue and get a signature for it. Problem solved as far as mould is concerned.

David it is NOT the estate agents causing the problems it's the lawyers with poor communication skills. They think in many cases it is beneath them to talk to an agent. Many agents are not trained in sales and as a result do not know the questions to ask or the answers they should expect to hear from solicitors. Don't paint the agents with that brush instead I suggest that you do some days in agents offices listening to the way they try to conduct business with a solicitor who does not want to communicate.

If a tenant is unable to afford a 1.2% rent increase then said tenant should mover to a cheaper property or area. I think the headline is as on many occassions a bit overstated. The increase that Barryin W suggests is stupid. Rents may rise but not to that extent unless we get raging inflation and that is about unlikely as a 20-30% rent increase. As you were.

Where does this Ajay Jagota get the idea that most landlords would welcome pets. The number of pets in private houses probably does not any where near exceed 50% so this statement is another case of exaggeration for the sake of emphasis. Most landlords do not accept pets as a matter of course and agents talk those who will accept them out of this idea as there is a massive amount of work to be done to recover the position to the landlords satisfaction.

So let's get this right. Instead of having a pension which due to the low interest rates etc etc is not making enough money for retirement the landlords have opted to put their money into property to - guess what - create a pension income. So what is this rubbish that landlords are dependent on the rental income from their portfolio as this is exactly what the rental property for retired landlords is for. As B W said has no one proof read this article provided he has no objection to me adding, or understood what a rental portfolio is for. It is not there for anything less than to provide additional income.

I am old and remember when there was a rent officer who could set a rent level on a property that would be for a 3 year period and the only increase could be in rates (council tax now) if it was included as part of the rent. The landlord was legally forbidden from increasing rent during that period. One of these rent officers told me that the rates on residential properties were set from 1937 when the house market was equally divided 50/50 between owns and rented. The rate were based on a rent level at that date with increases in percentage terms base on said rent value. We are lucky as landlords now to be able to set rents at market levels and not be dictated to by government. However give it time as what goes around comes around. Tax relief on mortgages was removed over a few years for all property owner/occupiers in the mid 70's and 80's and this bunch in charge are doing the same in the PRS. In time the tax relief on all loans will I think disappear.

I agree but there are no numbers quoted in the increase of landlords so the increase may just be down to higher numbers of available rented property. 300 more in arrears is a very small number and I would think it is far lower than the number of new rentals made available. It could also perhaps be down to landlords being unrealistic on their perceived rent levels as so many agents are frightened to tell the truth. And no information is included on the number of landlords hit but bad tenants forcing them into arrears through little fault of their own. This is just a silly exercise on %age crunching to make a headline.

It's a no brainer that rents will increase and no doubt the blame will be laid on the increase of landlord costs. In doing research to set a rent figure the market will find it's own level based on supply and demand. High demand = high rent and low demand = low rent. No reason for demand to drop as LA's are not building and BTL landlords will not make any significant dent in those looking for somewhere to live.

Why would landlords want to shop around if they are happy with their agent and the service they receive. The good agent will just shrug this off with advising their clients to increase the rent calculated on a 6 month basis but have minimum let periods of 1 year. As I see it agents will be able to charge for credit checks right to rent checks etc. but NOT to charge tenants for inventory checks in and out tenancy extensions and the like. If this allows landlords to increase their income who in their right mind would say no to this?

Don't get me wrong but mortgage interest was part funded by tax relief when I first went into the property ownership. This tax relief was withdrawn over a period of time and then it was down to the mortgage holder to pay all the interest on the loan. Here we are years later and the same is now happening in the BTL sector. Not good I know but this is a matter of history being repeated. Seems to me that some bright spark in government (bit of a play on words here as this is not something that comes to mind with any certainty) thought this could work in other areas. Given time and ALL loan interest for business will be removed from the books so that borrowing for anyone who can claim tax relief with find this perk gone.

The council, provided this hair brain scheme works, have their shortage of rented properties addressed at a time they have a problem. All they are doing is passing the buck to the private rented sector but wait a minute this is what our elected dictatorship is doing with tax revenues by taxing landlords.

Lending on property is a risky business, always has been and always will be say lenders. This is why you are unable to borrow money for a tangible fixed down asset that is unable to be driven away.

An up front fee to ensure no time wasters but anything else can so easily be included in the rent. Tenants will lose out in any event as landlords will want any costs previously attributable to tenants recovered over the first rental period even if it is a 6 month term.

The London Borough of Lewisham will be a contributor to the rent rises in that area as well. Should make G O feel better. Something else to reduce the rental market availability and help to screw the tenant population. So how long now will it be before tenants will be in a position to buy their own home? Probably never by the look of things.

So up go rents again to fund this charge increase. It's not just agents who supposedly charge too much this is clear evidence that the London Borough of Lewisham is definitely charging excessive fees. Well G O you are obviously not the only one hitting landlords with hefty costs. Whoever next will be holding their hand out for a fee?

Of course the new legislation will cause rent rises. We know this but GO clearly has not a clue. He will be wondering why business falls off in the middle of summer and just before Christmas next but we know it does and always will because generally we are good at our jobs. Shame the elected few in parliament get given jobs they no nothing about. Remember Grant Schapps?

At last a voice of reason from our elected dictatorship aka the government. As Alan says let's see how many take notice. Maybe through these posts we can all be kept informed as to who is advocating wait for the bailiff and name and shame them. Likewise we could also learn who is acting in a correct manner according to the law. How long will Housing Minister Brandon Lewis keep his job though?

Sop why is a lawyer advising tenants to do what the agent/landlord should be doing? No inventory means tenants can argue it was there when they moved in and agent/landlord would have no grounds for dispute. Simple.

Knows about as much about the property market as Grant Shapps had - which was didley squat. I think Khan is talking out of the bit he should be sitting on.

Why is it that plonkers in government bleat on and on about 6 month tenancies but NEVER qualify this as the MINIMUM term under government made law. Many tenants ask for a longer term but agents offer 6 months and get another fee every 6 months. This is a difficult one to legislate on but if these nitwits were to quote 6 months minimum term it will make it clearer. But then politicians have never wanted to make things clear and never will.

Dear Islay Please learn how to spell and to use grammar as this kind of note makes you look a complete illiterate fool. If you are dealing with the biggest asset that you, your clients or friends own then it's a good idea to learn the language. If you have been a landlord since about 2005 the chances are you have a LTV of about 85%. Although all that is going down (? mystery part of the comment!) I wish I had an LTV of 60% though on my rental properties. See nitwit simple!
