The government has done nothing to help landlords. Many live on the difference bet rent and mort. Many landlords are in a worse situation than tenants. Not classed as self employed so no grant. Not employed so no 80% wage paid by government. Mort hol crap is a joke we still have to pay it and it will affect remortgaging late on. So the landlord has to be sacrificed so tenant who gets all th above does not pay rent. What about the tenants who are trashing property and was not paying rent before CV19 we have housing them for free. It's about time the government stood by landlords. The Nrla should be all over this

Well said Paul. They should have been screaming from the rooftops that landlords have had zero help. I have tenants phoning saying they can't pay but they will get 80%. I will get zero. The tenants are shocked when I explain we are not included in the self employed package and even if we were S24 ensures many are over the 50000 cut off. They need to get it out there it might dampen down the activists. I also understand that the loans don't apply because we are not tradi g. REF loans it appears the banks are doing there best to find reasons not to loan

Landlords should stay well clear. Problem tenants the support will not be continuous. Most will end in court evictions

The Likes of Shelter G Rent has been planting negative thoughts into people convincing them they can't afford it wh En in fact many could with some changes to what they spend their money on. Why not drip fed postivity on how they could and help them change their mind set. A can do attitude instead of expecting yo be given everything Get

I don't think Renters will vote Torie because they removed S21. But it will lose the Tories votes from landlords. They should stand strong and uphold the S21 also make it much quicker to evict bad tenants and make them repaid every penny before being handed a Social house. Instead they are coming over as very weak and a pushover running around like headless chickens in all directions. This will increase homelessness, cost the economy, lose votes and reduce rental supply.

Desparate governments trying to hang onto power at any cost. They have already been responsible for the rise in homelessness. Taxing btl landlords over100%. Fines so high for the smallest of mistakes. Fueling a propaganda of hatred towards landlords, to cover their own appalling policies of tax, cuts and regs If the base cost increases then the end product as to increase or you go bust. BTL landlords are not charities and need to make a profit to live

For the last 15yrs I use to house mainly DSS. I had a higher percentage of damaged properties lost rent eviction processes than landlords who did not take them. I have stopped now due to Long costly evictions smashed properties hate campaign against me from locals . I have been verbally abused in the street for housing them Rates that are so out of touch with market rents that it would put me in a loss situation section 24 which means I have to try and get the best rent possible with damage limitation a Housing needs department which continues to screw the landlord over Tenants cant afford or chose not to heat the property so more likely mould growth Dss tenants many leave house and gardens full of smashed up items, the cost of removal now can be 1000. Ucredit which is not fit for purpose. claims stopped all the time . Extremely hard for a landlord to make contact A legal system that not only supports but encourages tenants to not pay rent and trash property

If a family size increases within the household then the risk of condensation increases. Yet if Section 21 is removed you will not be able to do anything about it.
From:
kathy miller

I hav been issuing leaflets regarding the causes and prevention for condensation with tenancies for years. You can have fans and trickle vents on windows but if the vents are kept shut and fans are not switched on how do you mange that? To get the EPC ratings up you have to add more Insulation and seal drafts. Older properties don't have breathable materials so the water loaded air can't escape. Condensation black mould is now common and should not be on the list.

BTL does support many building trades and businesses from cleaners to Letting agents solicitors, accountants , lock smiths etc. Its good to see the money value. The government is out to destroy the BTL sector so its not just the cost of homelessness landlords leaving the sector due to Section24 and continuous meddling and regs there will be a massive reduction in the above figures

I wonder what percentage of tenants are on benefits which arrive at the CAB and Shelter door? Perhaps Shelter could publish these stats. In fact I think they should be made to publish these figures I believe that it will be around 80% and many of the conditions on property ie black mould is due to the tenants not being able to heat the place or drying washing on rads.

heres an example, Tenant on benefits being evicted due to rent arrears , neighbour complaints regarding anti social behaviour , police visits etc. Tenant does not leave at end of Section21 Notice Housing Needs request not to put into court as the tenant has been allocated a new build. Meant to be due end of Sept but due to delays tenant gets keys 22nd Oct. This tenant should have been given Discretionary Housing to make up the rent shortfall and an overlap payment as the tenant did not fully move out until the 28th Oct. So the landlord bends over backwards to accommodates and gets shafted. No DHP and No overlap just an inv for 1 weeks money which had been paid from for the overlap week. Housing Needs what help did they give the landlord. The tenant did not get the correct forms or the information in the given time frame. Landlords are losing thousands in damage rent arrears and court costs. Insurance companies increase the premiums for Housing benefit perhaps Shelter can find out why?

If I was a landlord this would put me off the agent. We have an onslaught of attacks on the sector in this climate. It's like death to the landlord, if landlords, agents and trades cannot look out for each other then expect the PRS to be totally destroyed

Imagine if home owners suddenly had to pay tax on the interest on their mortgage? When the government have completely distroyed the BTL sector and all the jobs relating to it what then? They blame BTL for the housing crisis although I did see an article where the Housing Minister admits it could be government policies. They have taxed and brought in so much red tape and rules for the sector for the landlords but continue to support criminal tenants who trash properties and dont pay the rent. What a face for Britain these tenants are encouraged in their behaviour by govenment and the likes of a court system that lets them walk away from all the damage and arrears, even rewards them with a council house. What happen to Pride in this country? This behaviour breeds, the government could easily tackle it no council house until all debts cleared taxed at source via HMRC. they cant deny it does not go on , every tradesman will have come across it. They prefer to sweep it under the carpet and every year it gets worse it needs stamping out.

Agree the trouble is now nobody is prepared to save and go without all the mobile phones, hols, lastest gadgets, eating out. They want this life style so dont save. Its a "I want it now culture "

Everyone must do the right thing, morally and legally, and stop discriminating.” The government and Shelter are discriminating against the good landlords by taxing them to death if they happen to have a BTL mortgage and by having a Rogue landlord database but not a Rogue tenant database . Letting Rogue tenants who cost landlords thousands in unpaid rent and trashed properties get away with it. Should not a tenant who has not paid rent and trashed property face a criminal charge especially if they have spent the Housing allowance on other things? The outslaught againsts the PRS is disgusting and the government and Shelter should hang their heads in shame.

Councils are so reliant on the PRS but private landlords are being stamped out by government with Section24 which will produce tax rates of over 100% for larger landlords with mortgages. Unlimited regs trying to abolish Section 21 and 3year tenancies which neither landlord or tenants want. What is required is a quick eviction route when tenants trash property live like pigs and dont pay the rent . A recovery route which ensures the tenant pays for the damage and rent arrears. These types of tenants give good tenants a bad name and ask any trade what they have seen regarding this or the bailiffs having to evict them. If the councils want PRS then stop telling tenants to remain until the bailiff arrives costing landlords thousands of pounds and stress. The government could gaurantee the rent and any damage money for they have the means to get it back from the tenant

Prices will be higher than the PRS. Will they be available to those on U Credit or the lower income bracket. . Will the houses be leasehold meaning you have to pay management fees. I have a bank acc which I pay a monthly fee for extra little perks. I am thinking of closing it as I don't use hardly any of them and it's expensive. I wonder if this will be he same? ie coffee lounge roof garden

Landlords in some areas get well below the market rent in housing benefit so the government save millions. Plus the landlord picks up the tab for trashed properties and rent arrears when the tenants dont pay. When the government have driven out all LHA landlords due to disgusting policies and decieving the public with lies to paint landlords as scum. Purely political move then expect the LHA bill to be 3 fold with the cost of hostels and BB. Dont forget the amount of money which the landlord gives back in using local trades and tax. Maybe one day someone will actually look at the true figures and costs

I have lost tens of thousands of pounds to trashed properties and rent arrears. Once you serve a section21 for eviction ( due to rent arrears or property damage, which is the main reason for a section 21) they stop paying and more damage is done due to the long delays to evict. Even after you have a court date from the judge they will wait for the bailiff which he some areas can take 12 weeks. Where I am there is one bailiff for 90 areas, and more courts are closing with the cuts so you have to attend courts some 20-30 miles away. Court fees have increased from 150 to 355 for eviction in the last 2 years. Landords should be able to claim from the tenants benefits direct at least 50 per month, this is the only way to make them responsible and pay up and hopefully make them stop doing it. Its amazing that if its council tax ie government money they can go to jail but a landlord gets no support . Third party deductions are required and until the debts are paid no council house.

Landlords contribute c 30 billion towards the economy in 2008 . They also use many trades self employed people for repairs etc. Landlords are continuously slagged off for taking housing benefit money. Well S24 will stop them wanting HB tenants so someone else can have the unpaid rent and trashed houses and the housing benefit bill will be much greater in costs for temp and BB. Only a blind person cannot see what the future holds if S24 is not scrapped
