Annoyed Landlord... Landlord Today

You are correct, Ellie. The last time the Conservatives were Conservative was when Maggie was in charge. The rot started when that weasel Major took over and went progressively left wing with each leader. Boris at least delivered a form of Brexit and we know what happened to him. Truss tried to be conservative and was removed very quickly. I always have a wry smile when my Welsh relatives bang on about Maggie destroying the pits when in fact, Labour closed more pits than she did. 😱

"If you are providing a good home and replacing faulty white goods etc then you are showing a degree of social responsibility." What rot, Liz! I am running a BUSINESS. There is a contract between myself and the tenant. They pay the rent and I keep the property and the items provided, maintained and repaired. It is a simple contract, nothing social about it.

From: Annoyed Landlord 03 November 2023 11:11 AM

"there needs to be a degree of social responsibility from landlords." Why, Liz? I am running a business, not a charity. What I donate and who I donate to in my private life is separate from my business. I provide good quality homes and, if something goes wrong, like a washer dryer did recently, I just get it replaced. As a result my tenants are usually long-term, however the constant landlord bashing and now the prospect of the RRB means twonof my properties have been sold - to owner occupiers.

From: Annoyed Landlord 03 November 2023 10:37 AM

Another barely literate comment from SBR. The point is, Sandra, those who WORK hard CAN AFFORD these rents. It's people like you who cannot and have to fight for the few available social housing properties.

From: Annoyed Landlord 03 November 2023 10:25 AM

Social Housing again. Would a PRS landlord have responded the same way?

From: Annoyed Landlord 03 November 2023 07:54 AM

Nick, surely you mean a rouge tenants register? ROFL

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 12:30 PM

Ellie, nice try but SBR has her fingers in her ears and is shouting "La, la, la, la, la. I can't hear you". On a small scale, two years ago I had four rental properties and saw this coming. I am now down to two and another will be sold in 2024. Both were sold to owner occupiers so that is two rentals off the market. Replicate that throughout the PRS and you can see why rents have risen dramatically and tenants are so desperate that they will offer over the advertised rents. As a greedy, capitalist landlord I extend my thanks to SSBR, JT, Shelter, GR, Acorn and the government for their help in raising rents. Unfortunately, until recently, the BoE were putting up mortgages even faster so I am no richer.

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 12:29 PM

@ Nick She is a typical leftie. Their way is the right way or, as she would write it, "There way . . . " LOL

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 12:19 PM

SBR won't qualify for a B&B, she will be lucky to have a cardboard box.

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 12:17 PM

Look everyone, SBR has dragged herself out of bed.

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 12:16 PM

@ Nick, SBR iss on a rant and has neen told numerous times that: rouge noun A red or pink cosmetic for coloring the cheeks or lips. A reddish powder, chiefly ferric oxide, used to polish metals or glass. but she refuses to be educated. She is now so rattled that "their" become "thee".

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 12:15 PM

@ Andrew Don’t encourage him, just report him.

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 09:04 AM

Must be one of the more pointless charities.

From: Annoyed Landlord 02 November 2023 08:20 AM

Then you get people like JT and SBR who wonder why they cannot find a good landlord. They need to take a good look in a mirror.

ALL my tenants are referenced and insured so the insurers will only take those working or home owning guarantors. When guarantors know an insurance company is involved they suddenly back out.

From: Annoyed Landlord 01 November 2023 09:19 AM

@ Nick - also Citizens Advice (paid by public and taxpayers) will give advice to tenants and not to landlords, because landlords are businesses. I deal with one CA person once, sanctimonious ****, who soon learned that it was best to check facts before accusing people.

@ John Young, Please don't encourage her.

From: Annoyed Landlord 30 October 2023 10:16 AM

He was found guilty in his absence of eight counts of failing to licence a property and one count of failing to provide a copy of a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report. He ignored several notices from the council so I have no sympathy with him. You don't ignore ccouncil notices.

From: Annoyed Landlord 30 October 2023 09:55 AM

Mostly agreed, but I do not agree that landlords have to accept that S21 will be removed. Older and wiser heads than mine have explained what the PRS was like before S21 and the fear that those days will return. The NRLA have certainly been quiet on the abolition and appear to have meekly rolled over on the matter. Like many I am voting with my feet and gradually selling up. Good luck to those with the stamina and will to stay.

From: Annoyed Landlord 30 October 2023 09:52 AM

English lesson again for SBR: it is they’re, not there. In your spittle flecked rage do you think you could slow down and type English and not “hop” around?

From: Annoyed Landlord 30 October 2023 08:46 AM

Celebrate when you get the £45,000 from him. If he didn’t attend court, what makes them think he will pay up?

From: Annoyed Landlord 30 October 2023 01:56 AM

I was obviously not in that c3.5k and I suspect the question was phrased in such a way as to get the desired result. Drawing on my memory of sociology courses, it ws probably along the lines of, "If an alternative to S21 gave you confidence and worked to get possession of your property, would you be happy to see S21 abolished." I did sociology a LONG time ago but that wwas how they would phrase a queestion to get the right answer.

From: Annoyed Landlord 28 October 2023 20:14 PM

Catherine, I have been a member since before the merger with the RLA and have never been surveyed on that.

From: Annoyed Landlord 28 October 2023 19:27 PM

@ Robert, I found that, once explained, they accept and sign. On one rare occasion I did have to do as you ask and told one princess that we could not proceed because daddy would not sign. Daddy signed within the hour!

From: Annoyed Landlord 28 October 2023 18:24 PM

Colin, all students should be on joint and several. Every year we get the same argument from a guarantor that they are happy to guarantee their darling child but not everyone else's. We patiently explain that they are guaranteeing only their offspring, but their offspring's liability guarantees the others and vice versa.

From: Annoyed Landlord 28 October 2023 13:57 PM

Do they still make tops? I had one as a child but haven’t seen one for years.

Another one joking the landlord bashing brigade from a position of great ignorance. If she cares so much, why does she not campaign for the same standards for owner occupiers?

From: Annoyed Landlord 27 October 2023 09:18 AM

@ Jason, I was never with LRG and never will be.

From: Annoyed Landlord 26 October 2023 23:04 PM

They must have CMP. PII and be a member of an Ombudsman scheme.

From: Annoyed Landlord 26 October 2023 15:02 PM

@ John Young - Probably won't be told what to do by landlords of any colour!

From: Annoyed Landlord 26 October 2023 11:55 AM

Red landlords? That is colour prejudice, Sandra. Still typing there, instead of they’re? I feel so sorry for your former landlords. Now take your tablets and have a lie down.

From: Annoyed Landlord 26 October 2023 08:50 AM

On Landlord Zone Gove is reported, "Speaking via video link to delegates at the National Conference Centre (main picture) Gove twice mentioned that he considered much of - but not all - poor compliance within the private sector to be the fault of ‘foreign landlords’. Gove’s comments were part of his efforts during the session to reassure delegates that his new Renters (Reform) Bill is designed to weed out the ‘bad landlords’ by asking ‘good ones’ to shoulder more regulation such as the looming Property Portal, which will in effect sweep in landlord and BTL property registration across England." So his solution to 'bad landlords' who do not comply with current legislation is to add more regulation for them not to comply with? How did this idiot get to be an MP, never mind a Minister?

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 20:14 PM

That sounds like the way LRG used to behave with me.

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 10:14 AM

I agree. It is for the property owner to assess whether THEIR property is suitable for pets. For example an unfurnished second floor flat might be suitable for a budgie, but not a Rottweiler.

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 08:56 AM

I was brought up in a council house and bought one to live in. When we bought it the agent praised it because it was ex-Local Authority therefore good standard and large gardens. Strangely when selling I was told the ex-Local Authority house would put people off. I gently pointed out that I had not purchased it from the Local Authority so they could leave that off the details.

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 08:51 AM

Rolling on to a SPT should incur no fees, but a renewal will involve administration plus the issuing of a new How to Rent document if it has changed. As an aside, currently failure to issue this most important (sarcasm) document nullifies the ability to issue S21. What new sanction will be used when they eventually abolish S21?

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 08:46 AM

If the tenant cannot be bothered to flea treat the cat, they certainly won’t be bothered about looking after the property.

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 08:37 AM

Hello Neighbour says use us instead so we can rip you off.

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 01:30 AM

Until two were sold, I had four properties. Two flats had a No Pets clause in the Head Lease, a third allowed with consent of the freeholder, I was a director of the freehold company and the last was a semi-detached. In the one flat I agreed an indoor cat could be accommodated. When they left, I gave warning that I was going to sell and they left before the notice was issued and the flat was spotless. The semi I issued a Section 21 because I wanted to sell. The tenant had a small dog and young child. She left the house so clean and tidy that it sold quickly. Perhaps I was just lucky?

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 01:29 AM

Not just the cheapest end!

From: Annoyed Landlord 25 October 2023 01:20 AM

@ Tricia. Well said. when my parents died and I decided to add my former home to my portfolio, it cost me £20,000 to bring it up to legal standards. My parents had lived there happily for just over fifty five years.

From: Annoyed Landlord 24 October 2023 11:17 AM

Sandra, do educate yourself, dear. Rouge is a colour. The word you keep grasping for and missing, is rogue. Got it?

Khan should be more concerned about knife crime and the anti-Semitic marches than the consequences of abolishing Section 21. As for Rayner, will someone explain to her that landlords are selling up because of the proposed abolition of S21 and the continual landlord bashing by MPs and so-called charities?

From: Annoyed Landlord 24 October 2023 03:21 AM

Since this person was prosecuted and sentenced under current legislation and licensing, why do BCC feel that additional licensing will improve matters? The current system is working. Would it have anything to do with the extra licence fees they will charge?

From: Annoyed Landlord 24 October 2023 03:18 AM

Using his own figures, 57% of landlords own at least two properties. Can the idiot not see that landlords leaving the PRS will decrease the number of properties available for renters substantially? As for buy-to-let landlords affecting other people’s ability to get on the housing ladder, does Polly Bleat write his scripts? The man is a fool.

From: Annoyed Landlord 24 October 2023 03:14 AM

Or stupid enough to vote for the pseudo Tories. Both as bad as each other.

From: Annoyed Landlord 23 October 2023 11:31 AM

Andrew, there is no guarantee they will get in. General elections and polls are two different things. If enough people have the courage of their convictions we could end up with a REFORM PARTY UK government and they could not be worse than the Labour/Tory mob.

From: Annoyed Landlord 23 October 2023 11:01 AM

@Jo, I love your sense of humour!

From: Annoyed Landlord 23 October 2023 10:58 AM

Perhaps start behaving like true conservatives?

From: Annoyed Landlord 23 October 2023 10:48 AM

This is an anti-landlord piece of legislation, with the description written by Polly Bleat and approved by Ben Beadle. All about landlord responsibility and nothing about tenants’ responsibility. Landlords have had enough, Ben and are selling up. They feel very let down by the NRLA.

From: Annoyed Landlord 23 October 2023 01:57 AM

Somebody needs to tell Gormless Gove he's an a-hole. There! Fixed it for you.

From: Annoyed Landlord 22 October 2023 18:48 PM

If you honestly believe that mediation and/or the Ombudsman will help landlords, I have a bridge to sell you. LOL

From: Annoyed Landlord 22 October 2023 18:34 PM

I too will not vote Tory, not that this shower are true conservatives. I will be having the courage of my convictions and voting REFORM PARTY UK. I will ignore those telling me that I will be letting Labour in, My reply will be that this non-conservative government are doing that by themselves and don't need help from me.

From: Annoyed Landlord 22 October 2023 18:32 PM

Don't celebrate too soon. . . The government also says it wants to strengthen mediation and dispute resolution as a way for landlords to settle problems without resort to courts, and to “embed this as a member service of the new Ombudsman” Expect clauses that do not allow S21 to be issued unless you are a member of this new Ombudsman and agree to mediation. Strange that they rejected the call from many experts in the lettings industry for a dedicated housing court, saying its costs would outweigh its benefits, but a new Ombudsman will not.

It is a human right to have food and water, but Tesco won't let you take them without paying.

It's almost as if they want to destroy the PRS and lose the election.

From: Annoyed Landlord 21 October 2023 15:21 PM

@ Nikie Davies A handful? Ddid you go to the same maths teacher as Diane Abbott?

From: Annoyed Landlord 21 October 2023 13:47 PM

Does David expect charity from Tesco? Obviously does not understand how business works.

From: Annoyed Landlord 21 October 2023 11:47 AM

@ David Edmunds, Then buy your own property. Tenants get at least two months notice, often more. If you sit tight then it will take six months or more for you to be evicted by bailiffs. Take note that bailiffs evict, landlords simply give notice that the contract is ending. Hardly being booted out. I have used Section 21 twice in twenty years. Once because of ASB and the second because the mortgage term had run its course. The tenants had four months warning before they received a S21. I suppose that the mortgage company booted them out too?

From: Annoyed Landlord 21 October 2023 11:44 AM

Well said, Andrew. After being pestered by LRG, never been a client of theirs and now never will, I much prefer dealing with my local independent.

From: Annoyed Landlord 21 October 2023 11:36 AM

The Baroness will be spitting feathers at today's news about Section 21 that government has pledged that section 21 repossessions will not be scrapped until improvements have been made to the way courts handle legitimate possession cases.

From: Annoyed Landlord 20 October 2023 18:46 PM

Has anyone seen the steam coming out of Polly Bleat's ears yet?

From: Annoyed Landlord 20 October 2023 18:36 PM

Sadly people will keep repeating the same old system of voting Labour or Tory and expecting a different outcome. If you want change, change your vote and, as Peter says, VOTE REFORM PARTY UK.

From: Annoyed Landlord 20 October 2023 09:48 AM

@ James and Andrew, the household waste included carpet, a sofa and an armchair, clothes, plastic boxes and bags and lots of general household waste. It belonged to the tenant even if he did pay the landlord to dispose of it. Council tax will have been paid by the ex-tenant and the ex-landlord so I do not class it as commercial waste.

From: Annoyed Landlord 19 October 2023 15:57 PM

Probably because their servers would fill up too quickly. I note no extra help for landlords though.

I always have an inventory with photos conducted by a member of the AIIC so that in the event of a dispute, their independence will weigh in my favour.

From: Annoyed Landlord 17 October 2023 17:09 PM

That would be 13,440 in 28 days. According to my calculator it would take just 343 days for the entire PRS to be “evicted”. Polly really does talk rollocks sometimes.

From: Annoyed Landlord 17 October 2023 09:34 AM

Andrew, me too. There are also a couple I'd sell at half price rather than have as tenants.

From: Annoyed Landlord 16 October 2023 12:04 PM

@ John Young - ah, the innocence of the young!

From: Annoyed Landlord 13 October 2023 11:56 AM

I do not have children, but I do have pets. I am only too aware of how they can easily damage a property, especially when young and untrained. Yes, I am still talking about pets, but . . . Of course people with children and pets will pay more, because their children and pets are a greater risk. That said, I did have a tenant with a young son and a dog. She left the property spotless, so there are exceptions.

From: Annoyed Landlord 13 October 2023 10:09 AM

SB-R, as a simple Google search will show, is a rabid left-winger who attacks landlords, capitalists etc, in fact anyone who is slighly to the right of Chairman Mao.

From: Annoyed Landlord 13 October 2023 09:56 AM

Perhaps if these tenants unions put their efforts in gainful employment, they might be able to own their own homes.

From: Annoyed Landlord 13 October 2023 09:10 AM

So Polly Bleat turns her attention to GRIM B & Bs and Hostels. It really must be awful being her and having such a negative outlook on life. Landlords are greedy, B & Bs and Hostels are grim, but tenants are wonderful. Perhaps Shelter could use some of their millions and build some of their Utopian properties to rent out to wonderful tenants? Then they could really do what it says on the tin, instead of being moaning Minnies every day.
