Why not be upfront and honest Green party and get the money from direct taxation, not try to hide it away by charging a group of people who have already been hit by rent arrears? Kick us whilst we are down.

Every holiday letting unit creates at least one local job. Where would The Lake District be without tourism?

From: Richard Bicknell 21 October 2021 06:41 AM

From my experience the council will do everything they can to find a technical reason why the notice is not lawful etc just to postpone the problem for themselves.

Spot on John! Government sold off the energy companies and now thinks it can tell them what to do. it don't work like that

Why no freeze on MP's salary!

From: Richard Bicknell 18 October 2021 12:57 PM

As a good landlord I do not fear registration. However, if the Government want a registration system I feel it falls to them to fund it.

How on earth do home owners manage so quietly after experiencing the same set of events

From: Richard Bicknell 28 September 2021 11:12 AM

And there was me thinking that tenants are struggling to pay existing rents not able to pay any more!

From: Richard Bicknell 23 September 2021 07:25 AM

Could this have something to do with preventing evictions?

From: Richard Bicknell 23 September 2021 07:22 AM

All that would be fine if the Welsh Government covered any shortfall in rent

Do you think Baroness Kennedy lives in constant fear of a Section 21 eviction from her two up two down?

From: Richard Bicknell 17 September 2021 11:33 AM

Do you know not one of my properties is unsafe, I have tenants who respect the properties and pay their rent so do not have any fear of eviction. Their rents are normal for the property and area. How remote are these people up in London

From: Richard Bicknell 16 September 2021 07:14 AM

If they were genuinely concerned and wanted to raise standards there would be no charge!

From: Richard Bicknell 15 September 2021 08:04 AM

Shelter come into contact people seeking help because they are in a pickle, possibly because of their behaviour/arrears etc so will get a jaundiced view on the situation. just like the guy who works for the RAC, he will tell you that modern cars are always breaking down

Since when have MP's done the morally right thing?

From: Richard Bicknell 13 September 2021 06:37 AM

Generation Rent must be very special people as the whole World seems to owe them something. Plough your own furrow as I did

From: Richard Bicknell 10 September 2021 11:16 AM

This is like the Government selling off the energy companies but then telling them how much they can charge. If you don't own it b+tt out!

From: Richard Bicknell 02 September 2021 11:23 AM

If you want to call time by your own watch, buy a pub. If you want to set the rent for a house, buy it first

From: Richard Bicknell 01 September 2021 08:20 AM

One has to be careful with those statistics. I used to own a holiday park with 23 bungalows available for rent 52 weeks of the year, BUT for holidays only. they could not be your permanent or main residence. They would appear on the airbnb web site for example but could not be used as homes for local people

From: Richard Bicknell 27 August 2021 11:18 AM

How about taking some action against the graffitti 'artists'?

One in the eye for Generation Rent

I would fully support house rentals forming part of a credit score

“as landlords lose their nerve due to growing number of tenants falling into arrears amid the economic fallout I think its money we are losing not nerve

From: Richard Bicknell 29 July 2021 06:39 AM

If you want to control the rent, buy a house! I remember paying 30% of my income on a mortgage, that's life. stop whinging

From: Richard Bicknell 08 July 2021 06:55 AM

Not only is the comment offensive, it is libellous. I am surprised Twitter haven't removed it.

From: Richard Bicknell 11 June 2021 10:47 AM

Hell, yes. Mega greedy landlords. Lets break out, they can all stay in our houses for free. Hell no, we could pay them to stay and look after the property. What an equal society that would produce. All that HB saved for the Government could be paid to destitute Landlords. Oh, hang on, back to original position!

From: Richard Bicknell 02 June 2021 15:50 PM

Just pay the 'Housing' bit of the benefit directly to the landlord like they used to

From: Richard Bicknell 21 April 2021 11:15 AM

We had overseas students who took advantage of the six month break and went home in March 2020. The apartment was empty for six months, no rent. So NUS, how about some help for me, this is my income source. The departing students still had their income and no rent to pay.

OK, hands up any union which does NOT invest in property companies who rent out commercial properties for profit. Hmmmm, not too many hands I suspect

From: Richard Bicknell 02 March 2021 11:18 AM

Students signed their tenancy agreement knowing full well that a second Covid outbreak was likely. It was not a shock as in March 2020.

From: Richard Bicknell 17 February 2021 11:12 AM

Perhaps Andy Burnham would like to put them up for free in his house to help relieve pressure on the system? Don't bother with a reply, we all know the answer!

From: Richard Bicknell 09 February 2021 11:14 AM

Funny, I thought that if I owned the property I could decide who I let in and who I didn't. Silly me!

From: Richard Bicknell 01 February 2021 10:41 AM

If signing a tenancy agreement in September 2019 one would have been unaware of the problems Covid was going to bring. BUT, as a student signing a tenancy agreement in September 2020 one would or should have been aware of the threat of Covid and what might happen. So if you signed a tenancy agreement knowing all the potential risks why should you now walk away from that agreement without penalty. You are grown ups in a grown up World. Face up to it before you graduate and join the real World permanently, as I did. I do have student accommodation paid for by hard earned cash, it is now MY income that puts food on My table

No doubt Mr Murphy is delivering his speeches and lectures free of charger during the Pandemic

From: Richard Bicknell 03 November 2020 11:28 AM

Pubs shut, cafe's shut, restaurants shut, no travel expenses to and from work, should easily be able to afford food and rent

From: Richard Bicknell 16 October 2020 11:17 AM

Perhaps a list of Tenants would be a good idea too, soon weed out the non-payers, damage causers etc.

From: Richard Bicknell 06 October 2020 11:00 AM

I totally agree with Robert Brown. If housing charities really want to help how about paying the rent for all those deserving cases who cannot or elect not to pay their rent. Without the rent I too will become a problem case as I will have no income, who will then help me. It is simple, tenants sign an agreement to pay rent and live in my property. If they stop paying they should leave. If I leave a shop without paying for a Mars Bar I can be prosecuted, and rightly so, not protected because of Covid-19.
