Could that be one of the reasons Glasgow didn't get the event?

We, long-term Landlords, (I've let property for 40+ yrs) know the issues. We could help the Govt. solve the housing problem more effectively than Shelter et al but I'm done. I can barely be bothered to comment now. We've been badly let down by the Conservatives -which was my breaking point. I've sold 95% of my UK rented houses in the last three years, the rest will be gone within the next year.

The Government needs to start considering that not all tenants are good. Landlords also need laws to protect and help them.

I felt compelled to write to the local Tory MP to tell him exactly that.

We've had a three storey staircase with each spindle chewed by a dog, carpets peed and poo'd on in every corner by various pets, a big american fridge freezer door turned rusty by a small dog cocking its leg up it nightly, overgrown lawns left with months of excrement in long grass for us to clear up, issues with smells and hairs left in upholstery, beautiful wallpaper scratched back to bare wall by cats, neighbour complaints about dogs (which under some authority licensing laws places the liability to resolve on the landlord not the tenant!). Allowing pets should remain the property owner's choice. In shared houses (HMO room lets) it is unfair on other occupants to allow any pets anyway because it impacts all users living in the same property.

Me too. 2 bed flat sold with tenants who agreed to stay right up to two days before completion. Perfect but risky if they hadn't gone. I may not be so brave when it comes to selling any of my larger properties.

Its the extra work it creates for landlords and agents- we have multiple requests for letters and statements. Our rents are due calendar monthly in full and in advance by D/D. We get none of that with benefit tenants. When it is eventually paid it is 4 weekly not calendar monthly. It is always in arrears. It's usually incomplete and contains odd pence not rounded pounds. Not to mention a possible clawback if later deemed to be calculated incorrectly. Tenants are often quizzed about other occupants and rooms in the same building if they live in HMOs. #wrong

I've written to my MP to ask just that Glenn. We need to let the government know this is ill-conceived. It won't win them any tenant votes. It will lose them approx. £15000pa of taxable income from our company accounts and we're only a small family business compared to many other letting agents. We will give-up a part-time member of staff. I will do more unpaid hours to compensate. A cap on fees or a fixed maximum % of a month's rent would have been far more sensible if we need any further regulation.

Rent will invariably increase monthly to cover the annual loss for the agency. Long term tenants will pay more over the duration of their tenancy than they would have paid in one fixed, administration, referencing, registration, start of tenancy charge.

of course it should be theft once the tenant's contract has ended and they have moved out leaving without payment or forwarding address and without any intent to pay. I wrote to my MP asking why it isn't considered theft only last week. It is encouraging serial bad tenants who know the worst that can happen is they may eventually have to pay if we catch up with them. Benefit payments claimed for rent but used for another purpose by the claimant should be fraud- no less.

Patrick Sullivan write to Coventry council . Tell them Councils should not tell tenants to ignore notices to quit until bailiffs arrive. This is a direct contravention to the homelessness guidance for Local Authorities (March 2016) where a tenant has received a valid section 21 notice. A Bill to solve this repossession problem amending Section 175 of the Housing Act 1996 is urgently needed. It should force local authorities to accept a valid Section 21 notice as evidence that an applicant is threatened with homelessness. Councils must step in almost as soon as a NTQ is given so the tenant is sufficiently supported. This will save landlords from a costly, lengthy and wholly unnecessary dragged out court process.

Disagree- doubt any of mine will be bought by other landlords- for the very reason I'm selling. Sold all my three storey when the early HMO regs were first introduced all to private buyers so 5 rooms per house were lost. Now selling all that don't meet MEE regs, and those that have undersized letting rooms (which were popular due to rock bottom all-inclusive rent) and now my remaining 5 bed 2 storey detached unlicensed HMOs will likely go to families .

There is already a Property redress scheme which good landlords belong to, the rogues will never bother to comply.

Peter They would usually need to declare an interest. Selective licensing schemes are not the answer - control of bad landlords will not come about by regulating all the good ones.
