Good points.....VERY good.

From: David Crisp 20 October 2020 16:29 PM

He should also be made to live in the same squalor he made others pay for!!!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 20 October 2020 10:17 AM

Sorry....But in this day and age, the only thing people understand is the power of the $$$$$. Gaol is no good for them, as a few months just allows them time to work another scam. If it was say 30 years then it might make sense. A mere £20,000 will be like a few pennies to people like him. He deserves to feel some pain. And the only pain he understands is his cash.

From: David Crisp 20 October 2020 10:16 AM

Lifetime ban and he should NEVER be allowed to operate in any form in the housing business. Also, the financial penalty is nowhere near enough. Otherwise, it will just happen again.

From: David Crisp 20 October 2020 09:55 AM

Should be 5 times that fine. He will feel no pain otherwise, and will do it again.

From: David Crisp 20 October 2020 09:50 AM

Pretty sure they will take notice when I tell them I won't pay!

From: David Crisp 19 October 2020 09:26 AM

I will NEVER pay for any pest infestations as it can ONLY be carelessness on behalf of the tenant. Just as they pay for damages, they must pay for being filthy!!!

From: David Crisp 19 October 2020 09:26 AM

And for some reason I bet his houses never see animals or his house getting trashed, or never getting paid!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 19 October 2020 09:03 AM

Never did, never will......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bunch of cheating scroungers.

From: David Crisp 19 October 2020 09:01 AM

Yes....No payment of rent is, in my view, very feckless. I even consider it thieving and immoral. FULL STOP!!

From: David Crisp 18 October 2020 19:48 PM

As far as my business goes, I make it quite clear, that any default, 1 day or more, will result in the fastest way possible to go to eviction, and I will pursue it like a hunting dog, until they go. No matter the cost or the time needed. Including A CCJ too. I can afford it. And I pay all my bills exactly on time, and I expect my tenants to do the same. No matter what issues they have, wether it be lost jobs, COVID, sickness, bankruptcy or whatever. They go. Irrespective of circumstances. Somehow, these crooks need to start to learn responsibility and morality. I will always try my bit to begin the understanding.

From: David Crisp 18 October 2020 19:42 PM

Couldn't have said it better. Well done.

From: David Crisp 18 October 2020 17:19 PM

Sorry no. It is not mandatory. Strangely too, even if UC agree to pay directly to you, the tenant can change it back to themselves and neither the tenant nor the UC are obliged to inform you!!!! How ridiculously crazy and unfair is that setup? Total madness. Especially when the UC is paid for tax payers as well.

From: David Crisp 17 October 2020 11:54 AM

We know......It is crookery......Theiving. Why should you pay for sevices that are NOT used........? Unfair and thieving.....

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 19:52 PM

I would have told them they stink too....!

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 18:45 PM

As I have always said, if my business gets increased costs from the likes of Govt. or local Councils, then I pass it on to the tenant as soon as I can. Indeed, I add 15% on to any rental too. So, all these idiots are doing, is to make tenants pay more, when they really think they are helping tenants. How dim can you get? And I say too....Thanks Govt. and Councils, and do please carry on because your stupidity only makes me, a LL, richer. Keep it up, I love you when you do that.

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 14:53 PM

Let them beg........Forever.

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 14:48 PM

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 11:38 AM

Let this council go suck! Why should I help THEM? It has NEVER been reciprocated..!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 10:37 AM

Quite right...It is madness. I say what goes in to my properties.

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 10:34 AM

OK - So I don't have enough money...Just give me some, which is what they are actually asking. Will all these poor failing businesses at the moment be allowed to remain because they cannot afford the outrageous local council charges?

From: David Crisp 16 October 2020 06:06 AM

Silly man!!!!!!! :-)

From: David Crisp 14 October 2020 23:51 PM

Also, LA contractors tend to charge way, way over the top to cover the commission they have to pay to the LA to stay on their preferred suppliers.

From: David Crisp 13 October 2020 08:31 AM

Wish I could do without them. My problem is I live abroad, so I have little choice. So immediately, they take 10% of rental income and then bung VAT on top of that! Not to mention fees for ECP and all the other nonsenses. Ho Hum - What to do?

From: David Crisp 12 October 2020 09:56 AM

You are so right.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 21:41 PM

As a Landlord, I also have absolutely no responsibility to house anyone. Let alone allow them to live in MY property without paying for the privilege. FULL STOP. Pay, or leave. It is the way of the world.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 21:38 PM

Sympathies....It is a terrible legal system that has got you to this place.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 15:52 PM

If it was me, I would very quickly prepare all the necessary documentation to get a CCJ against them. Be prepared though that even if you get all that together there is still a 6 month notice period that you will have to give them before eviction. It might even be a bit longer if the courts continue to drag their very lazy feet. For sure, your tenants will not pay you for those months. It is also very likely too, that from now on if they are redundant, that you will not get a penny from now on for rent or pay back agreement cash. You will also have to pay legal costs to get the CCJ and thern get it implemented. I would also suggest that you will never see any cash from a supposed repayment scheme. My advice is to prepare from NOW. Starting TODAY. Any longer and all that will happen is you will get no rent whilst they continue to live in your property for at least 6/7/8/ months so you will be losing a lot more than you imagine. And there is nothing you can do about it. I might be wrong, and they might be reallly genuine and pay you everything they owe. That will need to be your judgement call. But in the current environment, I would suggest you have to do everything you need to do is to be done now, as it is more than likely they will screw you, because the law allows them to do so. GOOD LUCK. I sympathise with you.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 15:43 PM

I do not want a pint of blood. All I ask is honesty and decency from both sides of the front door.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 11:09 AM

Non rental payment needs to be reclassified as CRIMINAL, because that is actually what it is. - It is stealing.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 11:01 AM

I hope they suffer very badly with their finances. And for a very long time. They need to have some kind of punishment for their rent thieving. Especially that this incompetent Govt. is supporting them against Landlords......

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 10:57 AM

Totally and 100% correct.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 09:16 AM

7? I have been at it since 1995. Since then, every penny has been hard earned........

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 09:16 AM

Fortunately, I have never been involved in that sector. And NEVER will be.

From: David Crisp 09 October 2020 08:34 AM

As always no one wins...! :-(

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 18:52 PM

And do I care? I hope they rot in hell. And the sooner the better.

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 13:33 PM

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:52 AM

Most likely that Uni. students are exactly the people who will, in the future be getting well paid and WILL be able pay off the debt.

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:51 AM

Shows a lack of respect. Which says it all really.

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:49 AM

No idea! He is obviously an educated, kind, caring, thoughtful, sharing and generous idiot.

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:48 AM

Good chance the Loony Party would be better!!! And that is because the current mob are even Lore loony that The Loonies.....!

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:46 AM

In December, I truly thought there was a sense of hope for the future. Since the virus, Boris and his pack of idiots have destroyed that hope, and are currently working very hard to destroy the country, the economy and that hope. BRAVO Mr. Starmer. If there was an election tomorrow, you would most likely get my vote......

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:42 AM

Someone will have to pay the debt! Normally it would be the tenant. Why does this change? Everyone is affected by Corona unless you are a furloughed, non-rent paying feckless, thieving, dirty crook who rips off the Govt and LLs. And then laugh about what they are doing to other lives. And why should Landlords be the ones to carry the burden? All they have done is to do everything correctly and properly.

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:38 AM

Why the hell does the current Govt. not listen? To be honest, as a lifetime Tory, I am seriously thinking cancelling my membership of The Conservative Party! Never thought I might even think that. I find this Labour view the ONLY sensible action provided by any politician throughout the whole coc* up of the last 8 months.

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:29 AM

Correct.....And a big one too...

From: David Crisp 08 October 2020 09:22 AM

So who do you go for: Keir Starmar Boris Johnson Nicola Sturgeon Ed Davey Rishi Sunak Nigel Farage No brainer for me....

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 13:18 PM

Bit of the old pillory will also go down well.......

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 11:07 AM

Cripes....!!!!! Rather unfair on the Venusians I would proffer...!!

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 11:04 AM

Silly me....Of course they do!

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 11:02 AM

They can have as many houses as they want as long as they pay the rent. And if there is over demand, then the prices will rise. I like that....I like that VERY much. More money for me. Much more money for me. Keep it up boys......All welcome, but remember to bring your fat and open wallets...... :-)

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 11:01 AM

Marxists more like!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 10:55 AM

Simple answer: NO...and NO again.

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 10:21 AM

Good. I hope these cheating crooks get everything they deserve and more..... One thing they should NOT get is a house to rent!!!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 10:08 AM

He should not be allowed to comment on this issue given he is a bona fide judge. I think that is illegal as it shows his views before any court case takes place.

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 10:02 AM

Also, he understands nothing. I wonder how he would feel if suddenly he lost all his only income in one hit, through no fault of his own and with no help whatsoever. And when he had done everything asked of him properly and conscientiously and done nothing wrong. Yet at the same time he is forced to continue to work with no recompense.

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 08:23 AM

Totally correct.

From: David Crisp 07 October 2020 08:17 AM

Should have been put in gaol for 5 years at least.

From: David Crisp 06 October 2020 14:56 PM

And soon please........

From: David Crisp 06 October 2020 14:49 PM

And as I always say, if anyone causes me increased costs to my business, then like any operation in the world, my prices go up. And when they go up, I pass it on to the tenant. And on top, I add a further 15% for my inconvenience. In essence then, I love it when the Govt., Local Housing Authorities and any other spurious bodies put pressures on my business for their gain, I make more money...... So please, please, please keep doing it. And keep it coming as much as you like. Indeed, it is not a nuisence, it is my lucky day.

From: David Crisp 06 October 2020 14:47 PM

Well, if a Landlord does not register, then clearly he will not be allowed to rent out his property. Or have I missed something?

From: David Crisp 06 October 2020 14:39 PM

Hoorah! - Yes please.......And soon.

From: David Crisp 06 October 2020 14:26 PM

So now you are trying to tell someone that they cannot say what they feel, because you just happen to disagree with their thoughts? Remember the UK has a system that allows people to express free thoughts.

From: David Crisp 02 October 2020 12:33 PM

Have you ever thought that it is the truth?

From: David Crisp 02 October 2020 12:30 PM

What do you expect?

From: David Crisp 01 October 2020 10:42 AM

And that dwindling supply will make my properties more valuable, and I will be charging higher rental rates. I love it...Very, very much. Let's encourage the Govt. to carry on with what they are doing.

From: David Crisp 01 October 2020 10:40 AM

And a dwindling volume of houses for the Govt. to put their feckless tenants in for them to live for free. And in the meantime, the capital value of my houses go rocketing up, and that allows me to increase rental prices. Great deal if you ask me. Carry on boys.

From: David Crisp 01 October 2020 10:36 AM

Why should students get a financial break? In the future they will likely be some of the highest earners in the world. Will they offer to pay me back later in time? I would suggest that their answer will be a resounding NO!

From: David Crisp 30 September 2020 23:54 PM

Even a pandemic is no excuse for stealing money from a legitimate contract. And it made even worse that a Government and the Judiciary make efforts to ignore this crime. Unforgivable.

From: David Crisp 30 September 2020 23:29 PM

Poor babies! My heart goes out to them. ;-) Why not get off their backsides and stop expecting Governments and Tax payers to pay for them. Now that is a thought I bet NEVER crossed their minds!!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 30 September 2020 11:08 AM

Good luck, and many thanks.

From: David Crisp 30 September 2020 11:01 AM

And indeed, they want everything NOW, and have no concept of saving and sacrifices.....!

From: David Crisp 30 September 2020 10:59 AM

NEVER ever absolutely no way. And for sure there will always be people prepared to pay for quality. Which is exactly what I supply.

From: David Crisp 29 September 2020 13:37 PM

Not enough....20 months!!!!! For messing up people's lives. 20 Years would much more appropriate.

From: David Crisp 28 September 2020 11:12 AM

Sebastian.........First up will be scrounging feckless, cheating donogoods ars8es.......

From: David Crisp 25 September 2020 16:23 PM

In very general terms, as far as I care, the Govt., Councils, Local Authorities, Letting Agents, Courts, or anyone whatsoever who has power to make me pay more, can put whatever ways they can dream to make more money out of me, matters not one JOT to me. Because all I will do is put up my rents and the tenant pays NOT ME. I will also add an extra 15% onto any crazy scheme any of these people want to slap on me. It is quite normal practice for any business that when they have increased overheads the product price goes up to cover the increases. What business will just ignore increases and just carry on...NONE......And that includes LLs. Me anyway.

From: David Crisp 25 September 2020 16:21 PM

True, But certainly Landlords do not deserve to have money stolen from them and especially so, that even after the thefts, the Govt., The Judiciary and The Police just stand by, watch and do nothing. Disgusting. Now in any civilised country, is that fair and right? YES or NO

From: David Crisp 25 September 2020 11:49 AM

No work.......No benefits!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 23 September 2020 11:19 AM

Andrew - It will never be enough hurt for me........A few years? What about for life? That is much more appropriate.

From: David Crisp 23 September 2020 11:19 AM

I have been trying to contact them. Does anyone know their contact details?

From: David Crisp 23 September 2020 11:17 AM

Pretty clear? :-)

From: David Crisp 22 September 2020 17:45 PM

It sure is an excuse...... They signed a contract, so how can it be that a Govt. allows these people to openly commit what is a crime...Albeit a civil one. A CRIME is a CRIME!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 22 September 2020 17:13 PM

Hopefully never, as if they give these people a loan, you just know it will just go to the Bingo Hall, the Pub, Wetherspoons and tobacco........................................... And then again, no one wins except these scrounging good for nothings.

From: David Crisp 22 September 2020 14:34 PM

If they have not paid then there MUST be some retribution and punishment. The law is the law. If they get away with it, then everyone will start to do the same!!!!!!! For me, non payment of rent also SHOULD be a criminal offence for sure.

From: David Crisp 22 September 2020 14:32 PM

What is immoral about me wanting to to do what I want to do with my property that I have worked and paid for and it belongs to me!!!! And me only. We supposedly live in a society that follows normal supply and demand protocols. That is the way it is, and everyone should implicitly agree to abide within that system, and not take other peoples properties for no cost. That is near as dammit, theft. What else will they take: Cars, second homes, my bed, my refrigerator? This must stop now. The market must dictate and if these people have no money to pay their lives, then that is totally their fault for not saving or acting in an appropriate way to take care of themselves just as most of have done and still do.

From: David Crisp 22 September 2020 10:44 AM

I am sure that is correct, but it does not make it right!!!!!!! I bet they would not stop gaoling criminals and murderers in the winter. So why should it be so with other crimes of any sort? Winter or Summer.

From: David Crisp 22 September 2020 10:38 AM

And they can do what they want with me. And in that case, The Govt. would immediately lose 10 properties for rent and hence 10 homeless tenants and families. And that will be at least 30 people left with no roof over their heads, compliments from No. 10, and unnecessarily so. BOSH! All gone. All the fault of a very stupid Govt. They are deliberately bringing this upon the country themselves. Foolish and shocking beyond belief.

From: David Crisp 21 September 2020 10:39 AM

I'd happily send the boys round for a small visit if it means I get my property back. That shows the intensity some of us have.

From: David Crisp 21 September 2020 10:33 AM

Particularly as the petition can be signed online. And is signed at no cost. Not being cynical, I would like to think that most LL would sign.

From: David Crisp 21 September 2020 10:31 AM

A few hundred thousand will force the Govt. to react to it. In fact, I think the limit is actually 100,000 signatures sparks a review panel. Ho hum...We will see. Fingers crossed.

From: David Crisp 21 September 2020 10:29 AM

I would happily go to gaol for a while if it gets this pathetic system fixed. Dunno if they can get me into gaol from here in Cyprus though! Maybe an unexpected repatriation is in the future too..!!!!! But maybe not now that we have already left the EU? A truly difficult dilemma? :-) :-)

From: David Crisp 21 September 2020 10:17 AM

Omigod! I really hope that will happen. And VERY soon.

From: David Crisp 21 September 2020 10:13 AM

Time for a CCJ?

From: David Crisp 19 September 2020 10:48 AM

Love it if I can chuck out a tenant a day after no payment!!!!!! Just like Germany & Australia......Where none of this stuff happens Virtually NO rental defaults happen in either of those countries....I wonder why?

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 20:03 PM

I t easy to just not to print you do not want DSS tenants. Anyone is welcome, but it will not take much effort to find they actually ARE DSS tenants or UC tenants. I can think of reasons to say no to any applicant: I don't like them They have no documentation that satisfies me They smell They have animals They cannot provide a proper deposit They cannot provide a guarantor with the right credentials They have children They are just living together They have funny names They miss an appointment for more than 2 minutes They cannot spell English properly I think they are feckless I just feel they will not pay the rent. Missing any of that lot, and they do not get my house. NO WAY! It is MY house. I and I alone who can decide who lives in MY owned property. Just me....No law and no Government can dictate who has the privilege to live in my property. These crooks ONLY own the property for the one month upfront they pay...Any default means it is then I decide what happens. From the moment they default, the property belongs to me 100%

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 19:55 PM

As far as I am concerned with idiot SK, if he does it, then when I get a tenant out of a house, I will eave it empty. I can afford the Council Tax and maintenance, and I will do it just out of spite. To add one more empty property that is unused. And the local councils will have to pay a LOT more for that one tenant to be housed. I will be reducing the the average stock of available houses. So they then know where they can stick their crap ideas... :-)

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 19:47 PM

Love it............ And take them right to the very end.......... Bunch of shi*es....... One day these scroungers will get a comeuppance!

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 19:34 PM

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 19:28 PM

My houses are my houses. No one gets to rent one unless I want them to. I don't give a slightest what happens to people who steal form me and wreck my property. That is their fault. I abide by the rules, why should I not expect them to do the same?

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 19:17 PM

Absolutely. A Govt. has NO RIGHTS to tell me what to do with my property. Can they then do it to my car, my fridge, my bed........They are ALL items I have worked for and paid for. It DOES NOT belong to the Govt. I really like the idea though of bypassing the discrimination bit, by agreeing to viewings and then keep going through the whole process and then last minute saying sorry ,I have had a much better offer. Bye Bye.....

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 14:27 PM

Distasteful for you. The truth and reality for me.

From: David Crisp 18 September 2020 01:08 AM

Totally agree. LL MUST try every route of retribution and punishment for tenant damage of property and theft of rent. If not, this situation will just continue to escalate in tenant's favour.....

From: David Crisp 17 September 2020 19:48 PM

Mr. Wilson? Show me what was insulting about what I said? All I did was to give you an insight into what it is like to have thieving, house trashing, non paying, disgusting tenants that cost YOU loads of cash. Simple. But you seem to love and protect these people. I rather think they deleted my post by mistake and that your "zzzzzzzzzzzz" comment was the offensive issue concerned.

From: David Crisp 17 September 2020 19:41 PM

And you are proud about that? Strange. VERY strange.

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 18:00 PM

Mr. Wilson: Please, please, please let me rent one of your properties. I will happily live in it for 1 month and then stop paying you at all for at least 12 months and maybe up to 18 months. At the same time, I will trash your property with dog poo, cat piss, smashed up cookers, fridges, graffiti the walls, do nothing in the garden for18 months, punch holes in the walls to hang pictures that contractually and specifically says I should not. That will cost YOU a rough figure of about £10,000. Despite absolutely no rental income for you. ++++++ Not to forget that through the 18 months, I will pester you for repairs, light bulbs, maintenance, that YOU will also have to pay for. For 18 months. And for me, for free. Yippeeee...! I can move on and do the same thing to someone else. And still only pay 1 month rental. Again, and again and again. And then tell me you will not want vindictive retribution for yourself. I guarantee you will want VR by the bucket load. And don't deny it, because no one will believe you.... And by the way, I will get out of with paying nothing at all for 18 months. All at you expense, because as I understand you do not believe in retribution. Vindictive or otherwise.

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 14:41 PM

The house belongs to them! Why can they not do what they want with their property? Maybe, I can just pop round to your house and use your car just because you are not using it? Are you happy with that? I am sure you would expect it to be ok, as that is what you you have said...At least then you car will not be starving people's transport.

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 10:58 AM

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 10:54 AM

Wow! That's a real tough one! I am not so sure though. Maybe a Financial Advisor could be a help in some way?

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 10:42 AM

That is a bit rude!

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 10:29 AM

Interesting. Where can I get in touch with these Financial Advisors? I need them urgently.

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 09:43 AM

Now go and put a CCJ on them. They possibly might not pay, but you will get satisfaction for knowing their credit rating will crash through the floor, no bank will touch them, no mobile phone contracts, no more landlords will take them, no HP..... And wait until they they either pay you or come crawling back For the hell of it, I would refuse to cancel the CCJ for the 6 years of its run, and then just before the end of the 6 years, get your money back and close the CCJ, OR renew the CCJ if they don't.

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 09:41 AM

For sure....I would pay for a few boys to carry out their profession.

From: David Crisp 16 September 2020 04:49 AM

Bit surprised a tenant would agree to leave on a Sunday???????

From: David Crisp 12 September 2020 17:14 PM

Let us know what happens.

From: David Crisp 12 September 2020 16:47 PM

Get your CCJ prepared for early processing and I would think you have a great case to get the unpaid rent back as the person is illegally in your rented house, so you need to go for the actual tenant for non payment. I would even ask the Bailiffs what they can do as squatting (which is what he is doing) in a private residency is these days illegal.

From: David Crisp 12 September 2020 08:44 AM

In the main, I would be happy if a non paying tenant offered to vacate. I can then also take out a CCJ for the unpaid rents when they have left. It works for me.

From: David Crisp 11 September 2020 13:10 PM

Andrew - BRILLIANT!

From: David Crisp 11 September 2020 11:09 AM

When will all this end? And how did we get here?

From: David Crisp 11 September 2020 10:12 AM

To me, if there has been rent defaults, then NOW is the time to prepare all the paperwork, CCJ's, outstanding rent amounts and any other documentation of proof etc. Tell your tenants what you are planning and then when the time comes, be one of the first to get to the courts. I cannot see this Govt, shortening any restrictions. Unfortunately LLs will just have to work with the issues as they stand. But at the very least you can be prepared, and you are sending a message to your tenants. Be sure to make them understand that you will be filing for the unpaid rent too. You might not get the money, but it might give you some satisfaction that their financial future will be forever trashed.

From: David Crisp 11 September 2020 09:56 AM

Scare them as much as you possibly can. Try the one about the enormous rent hike at the end of the tenancy - So they better prepare to leave NOW!

From: David Crisp 10 September 2020 11:25 AM

Tell them all of that, and also tell them you will renew the CCJ every 6 years if they don't pay that!!!!! Even tell them you'll get the boys round..... :-)

From: David Crisp 10 September 2020 11:24 AM

@Kristjan Byfield I am the final arbiter of who lives in my properties. If they do not like it. Then they and I will walk. How simple is that.

From: David Crisp 08 September 2020 19:04 PM

If I find out they have "partners" that are not on the contract, then they have 2 choices.. They pay more rent, or they get evicted. Simple. And there are ways....Believe me.

From: David Crisp 08 September 2020 19:00 PM

Agreed. I don't care what happens to them. It is brought to them purely through their own fault. WHATEVER that fault might be. Now let them live with it when eventually (which it will happen at some time) all the CCJ's come through along with evictions and bad financial records for years on end. Let them then live then in their own made s**t and long may it last.

£12 a year is a deal? Anyone else up for it?

From: David Crisp 04 September 2020 12:07 PM

Seb: The quote was exact: "............. Its only done for personal gain." And I want to know what business is NOT done for personal gain. My position is that ALL businesses are for personal gain. "In most cases being a landlord is commercial activity so the question of 'who took the trouble' is misleading. Its only done for personal gain."

From: David Crisp 04 September 2020 12:06 PM

Why would it never happen?

From: David Crisp 04 September 2020 11:30 AM

Sebastian: I do not get what you are saying! All I want to know is what business, just even 1, is NOT run for personal gain? The answer of course is NONE? So, in that case, Mark Wilson is talking out his rear end..!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 04 September 2020 11:29 AM

Good idea - Count me in......

From: David Crisp 04 September 2020 11:11 AM

Quote: Mark Wilson: "In most cases being a landlord is commercial activity so the question of 'who took the trouble' is misleading. Its only done for personal gain." Excuse me! But what business is NOT done for personal gain? Name one.....Go on Mark..NAME ONE? What planet do you enjoy living on?

From: David Crisp 04 September 2020 11:07 AM

Well they should give a toss......It is my money that pays them!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 16:24 PM

But it seems to me they are talking about things that are VERY relevant to LL!!!!!! And we should be allowed to hear it.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 16:07 PM

Kids cheat too....!

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 15:15 PM

The game is OK.......The player is cheating!!!!!

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 15:14 PM

Well....they are not very good at running sales funnels. He has lost me and has also shut out ALL LL. Idiot.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 13:48 PM

And to make it even more pathetic, the company JMW: --------> David Smith, a partner at JMW Solicitors and Legal Counsel at the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), will present the free briefing in partnership with Fixflo. Strewth......!!!!!! He even represents the NRLA!!!!!! And it is free.....! What utter nonsense. I hope his FixFlo drops off!!! And I am a bloody member and don't get access!!!!

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 13:24 PM

No consideration whatsoever..... So unprofessional. He should be struck off.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 13:18 PM

All I want to do is hear what they have to say. No way will this scammer ever get any of my cash. Even if they plan to give me cash, their insult is enough for me tell them to FO.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 13:16 PM

So my money goes to this guy who thinks that he is so smart he locks the door to his expertise from people who pay him. What is he trying to hide? Double W*nker.

They want so called "business" email addresses... Not GMAIL or HOTMAIL for sure.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 12:57 PM

Yes...As a LL I am not allowed to listen to what this bunch of cretins are doing behind locked doors and with no concern for the people who effectively pay THEIR salaries. Unforgivable. He is now OFF my list of suppliers. And I guarantee that Mr. Smith will not even have the courtesy to reply to me. If he would care to, I will happily give him my gmail or hotmail address, but of course, he wants me to waste money on a "business" email. So he wastes my money too. How arrogant can these people get.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 12:56 PM

Why as a Landlord am I not allowed to hear what theses people are doing with MY money??? It is not anybody's money.....And as a landlord who gives business to Lawyers AND to Letting Agents alike, who do they think they are allowed to talk about MY MONEY behind closed doors. And not even invite the people who supply the money THEY live on!!!!!!!!! Outrageous, uncaring and idiotic. For sure his poxy company is now off my list of suppliers, which is all lawyers really are. A mere supplier!

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 12:52 PM

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 12:45 PM

Because they demand a business email address, so Gmail and Hotmail are not allowed into their little coven.... Wanke*s.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 12:34 PM

How come only Agents can hear what is likely happening to MY money? And I am paying those damned agents. Unforgivable from this bloke Smith. Typical of bloody lawyers too. I am mad about this. and I deserve an apology. How dare they? It feels that they do not even think about all the money is coming from!!!!!!! But then again, they don't give a damn about LL either.

From: David Crisp 03 September 2020 12:26 PM

From: David Crisp 01 September 2020 14:55 PM

So right Andrew. Unacceptable that people's Government money is given to those who will often use it to line their own pockets in this, the most difficult of times. It MUST go direct to the rightful people.

From: David Crisp 01 September 2020 08:48 AM

5 bed in Islington? Gotta be £3,800 to £5000?

From: David Crisp 30 August 2020 10:17 AM

Given that the CCJ debt goes up each time, it more than covers my £60 each time, so I will eventually, make more money than my costs! Works for me every 6 years and only takes me about 30 minutes. Long may it last.

From: David Crisp 30 August 2020 08:36 AM

Totally agree........And I still have a CCJ on 2 rogue tenants...They are both now in their 2nd CCJ.....I am sure they find it an issue...And each one only owes me about £600.00...yet still they will not pay to get the CCJ removed! Probably though, they find ways round to get their mobiles, rental contracts, etc etc....But for sure, there will certainly be a day of retribution that they will surely regret. And of course each renewal of the CCJ, the figure goes up.. I will NEVER give up....It is a basic principle for me. I have rather an aggression for people who steal and cheat from me.

From: David Crisp 28 August 2020 14:07 PM

The longer this goes on and the longer the judiciary takes to resolve this mess, the more LL will be extra cautious AND put prices up, as another form of protection against lack of income. For sure in future my contracts will be brutal in requirements along with my 15% extra whatever additional rules are piled on by Govt. AND Local Authorities. And that will be added as and when new rules and costs are imposed, and even if the rules say that is not allowed, then it will mean that the next tenants will have it added in the contract, which is effectively a rent increase, on top of inflation. And that is just what the Government don't want! They are however, bringing it on themselves and on tenants. For me, I just see it as extra income, for little extra work, Just how dim can they get?

From: David Crisp 28 August 2020 09:43 AM

Oh My God!!!!!......It sounds like a feckless tenant!!!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 15:56 PM

But I had heard too that Union Bosses spend all their money on useless things and unwanted projects that usually cost 20 times the planned budget and take 6 times as long as the plan. And they continually do it. Without any regard for cost. So all I can imagine is they would gladly blow their constituents' money on a few suites at the Dorchester and then pay over the odds for the accommodation and overstay their welcome. Without even thinking to save a penny. I might be wrong of course!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 15:55 PM

I don't understand, I called them, and they hung up on me? Strange...I was sure they would allow me to stay for absolutely nothing..

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 10:45 AM

Parasite? Is it not right that people should pay for their accommodation? If it isn't, I am off to the Ritz right now, to get a top floor suite that I will live in for years and not pay them 1 penny! I am sure they will let me, and will also positively welcome me because I don't have money to pay them. So everyone is happy. Great system.

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 10:44 AM

Totally agree......And the faster the better.

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 10:21 AM

Good one.......

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 10:20 AM

It sure is........

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 10:08 AM

But the tenant CAN ask for a release with a 1 month notice as I understand it. I think you as a landlord can also ask the tenant to leave if YOU need the house back for your personal use. I think then you have to live in it for at least 2 years before you can start renting again.

From: David Crisp 25 August 2020 09:47 AM

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 17:23 PM

Even better to have CCJ against them...I love a good CCJ.........

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 15:17 PM

So 20% of national LL income is now never to be seen.......And for those 20%, there is ZERO income for a year or more. Not many people can afford that!!!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 15:10 PM

Make sure you get even stricter. You can soon discover that those who seem very respectable and upstanding people can soon turn into complete thieves if, as is the current case, they see a 12 month gap where they can live rent free before having to move. In this day and age they could save an average saving of some £15,000 clean cash...As if that had earned an extra £18,000 a year before tax. For many of these crooks that is better than working and it is free cash on top of their normal salary. You will be surprised how many have already made that calculation. Except the Government of course.

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 15:03 PM

Including rent already NOT paid........not just future non payments

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 14:55 PM

Great idea......

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 14:47 PM

Who cares about the crooks, feckless tenants, anti social tenants, rent default tenants, and the like... I for sure don't.

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 10:22 AM

They are indeed...Like all Govt. (or Local Authorities) tricks to make me, as a Landlord, either pay, or lose, more money, are tricks that just simply gets passed on to the tenants with a 15% mark-up. So they should all think closely about what they are doing to the tenants they say they are protecting. They are, happily for me, doing the exact opposite. Keep at it boys - You are doing it well.

From: David Crisp 24 August 2020 10:20 AM

If local authorities put up new ways to get money from Landlords, then my rents get raised PLUS 15%.

From: David Crisp 23 August 2020 15:09 PM

Is it possible to get that to happen in 2 months and with the police? I seem to think that the tenant could contest the original contract even though they signed it!

From: David Crisp 22 August 2020 09:52 AM

Is it possible to get that to happen in 2 months and with the police? I seem to think that the tenant could contest the original contract even though they signed it!

From: David Crisp 22 August 2020 09:51 AM

I write my contract...If they do not like it...then so what?....They do not get the property. Simple....It is my decision as to my terms, they do NOT have to take it. Their choice...But always a bank statement of 6 months form tenant and guarantor.... Take it or leave it...

From: David Crisp 21 August 2020 22:15 PM

And I will certainly DEMAND a guarantor so as to have an almost secured repayment. Never again will I have a contract without a guarantor nor: 1 Housing Benefit tenants 2 Singletons 3 Single mothers 4 Single men 5 Just men 6 Those with previous convictions 7 Those with previous defaults 8 Anyone I don't like 9 Any Asians 10 Any immigrants 11 Any blacks 12 Anyone who cannot show me a 6 month detailed bank account It is MY house...I DECIDE who lives there - Nobody else does. BIG BIG Full Stop If they don't like it, I don't have to rent it and I will walk away. Their loss if they think it unfair.... I need to protect my business, my family, and me....Up to the tenant - It will be on MY terms, not Government terms

From: David Crisp 21 August 2020 22:12 PM

Yes - They added to the deal that - Quote: Ministers have extended the ban on landlords evicting tenants in England and Wales until 20 September, following fears thousands could lose their homes. In most cases, until the end of March, renters will also get six months' notice if their landlord plans to evict them. Which means LL will be waiting for a FULL year....... Can it get any worse....

From: David Crisp 21 August 2020 16:57 PM

I suspect that whatever happens after this that LL in future will write much tighter contracts... And will charge MUCH more for rents.

From: David Crisp 21 August 2020 16:52 PM

So many landlords will get no money for nearly 9 month? Outrageous.

From: David Crisp 21 August 2020 10:55 AM

Let's hope that many of those scroungers who did not pay rent will soon start to be evicted......The more and the sooner the better.

From: David Crisp 21 August 2020 10:32 AM

Would have to change the rules that the tenant can change payment back to them via the Housing Benefit people and they currently cannot say NO!!!!!!!!!!!! And neither of those 2 parties are obliged to tell the Landlord...!

From: David Crisp 21 August 2020 09:09 AM

Makes sense and everyone wins.....?

In fact my assets are even more valuable than the BMW640M!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 19 August 2020 17:20 PM

Maybe the government should be like a government and run this business in the same way it does any other business. If people stole from say Unilever, P&G, Rolls Royce or the like, the Government would act to get recompense........for sure..... I am still going to get that BMW 640M on lease, then drive out of the garage, put a couple of scratches on it and then not pay the monthly fee.......See how quick I would not have the car!!!!! Probably in the nano seconds of time..... So what is the difference?

From: David Crisp 19 August 2020 17:19 PM

Rent Control!...If it ever happens, then my tenancy length will get shortened, and each time renewal comes along, then I will put the price up to the absolute maximum. And I will do the maximum allowed inspections with rigorous charges for repair at every inspection....Holes in walls, paintings on walls, changing paint colours, damage to appliances, batteries for alarms etc. ......I will pay for NOTHING. At least until the end of the let, and then get them out. And get another stinking thief in.

From: David Crisp 19 August 2020 15:44 PM

Girish......Great idea....

From: David Crisp 19 August 2020 15:37 PM

From: David Crisp 19 August 2020 14:41 PM

Boll***s..If they don't pay then they don't stay. Simple as... Work hard and save like the rest of us. If not, then I will go rent a house, live in it and not pay the rent. Would that be OK?

From: David Crisp 18 August 2020 18:36 PM

Totally correct Paul. No contest. If the tenant can get away with not paying for a house over his head, then why can a landlord not do the same and not to have to pay his mortgage?

From: David Crisp 18 August 2020 18:33 PM

NEVER go the student road. Nightmare.

From: David Crisp 18 August 2020 10:26 AM

If they don't pay they must go. And they must pat the unpaid rent. I hope they get what they deserve. That will teach them a lesson about their fecklessness.. I also hope that get many, and many more CCJ's to work as a reminder of their thieving habits.

From: David Crisp 12 August 2020 17:08 PM

No - I will not break the rules, I was saying that if the Govt. or Local Authorities make extra charges on me as a landlord, then, as in any business, if my costs go up, the costs get charged to the consumer. In this case, I am the Business Owner and The Tenant is the consumer. I am NOT breaking any rules, I am just following fair business practices. As does BMW, Pepsi, Sainsburys, Tesco and on and on.....Even the Govenment does the same.

From: David Crisp 05 August 2020 14:50 PM

They can slap as many rules and costs as they like. All I will do is add it all onto tenant rentals PLUS an extra 15%. SO I rather like extea add ons, as I get more income. Carry on Council and Government boys. I love you.

From: David Crisp 05 August 2020 13:35 PM

I have often had tenants call me at night saying I needed to go to the house because the wall power switch for the Washing Machine was showing as off!!!! Never again...

From: David Crisp 04 August 2020 18:36 PM

How do I do that on here?

From: David Crisp 04 August 2020 14:30 PM

@Rent round I see you do not work with absentee Landlords who require full management? I assume so as I cannot enter a non UK phone Number.

From: David Crisp 04 August 2020 13:08 PM

@Barry James And every month for 25 years I it is gone too. If I can do it and make all the scrifices I have done, then so should these bloodsuckig, thieving, crooks and stealers. It is life. Suck it up.

From: David Crisp 01 August 2020 15:58 PM

As Paul says, this is a laissez faire economy, and the supply and demand economic system lets the market decide the price. And that is where we are. Full stop. Just as it does with every business, and if you cannot afford it, then you live with that and try harder. I would love to have a 1928 Blower Bentley in British Racing Green, and the market tells me I can have one......If I pay around £1,300,000 for it! Strangely, I cannot afford that! So rather than moan and winge about the price of things, I am forced to downsize my wants and buy something the market tells me I can. That is the essence of a free market. And unless you want a Commie system like China, Russia, Cuba etc, then so it will be forever. Get used to it and grow up. Of course if the Govt. (all forms of Governments that is) really want to do what they say and build 200,500 affordable houses a year which, if they had done it since 2015, which they promised, then house prices and hence rents would be considerably lower due to the availability of housing stock outstripping demand. That then is why as a LL, I am rather obliged to charge what the market demands, as I do not have the necessary documentation, or will to run a charity. If I did, I would have done just that. And whilst tte Governments continue to add more and more costs onto landlords, then they are idiots if they believe LLs will suck up the extras..... In their infinite idiocy, they think we will. I for one will not, and most LLs will not too. So, effectively the Govt. is adding to the increase in rental prices for tenants, and is adding the cost of rental onto tenants. NOT LANDLORDS!!!!!

From: David Crisp 01 August 2020 15:55 PM

When we bought our properties that we now rent, most LLs had to pay every month for at least 25years to but the house. So what is the stress - We all have it......It is a fact of life that these dumb, feckless tenants belive it is their right to have everything given to them for nothing and to struggle. It is about time they face the reality of life.

From: David Crisp 01 August 2020 15:36 PM

So, according to your above notice, (and below),I can no longer talk about feckless tenants anymore? What happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

From: David Crisp 31 July 2020 09:34 AM

If I was in that position, I would prepare as much of the red tape as possible and be ready to go and assume that these stinking robbers and thieves will certainly NOT pay and just evict them anyway, before the Govt. makes any more changes and before Sec. 21 goes. And then be VERY careful and vigilant of your choice of future tenants.... And DO IT NOW!

From: David Crisp 30 July 2020 14:51 PM

Brillant.......And why indeed?

From: David Crisp 29 July 2020 20:09 PM

Farcical. In every way.

From: David Crisp 29 July 2020 15:37 PM

Get real guys.....Non payment of rent after 1 week, should be IMMEDIATE eviction and classed as a criminal offence. Then watch how many defaulters there will be! I might suggest around 1-2% at most.

From: David Crisp 29 July 2020 15:22 PM

Totally unfeasible. It is like not having ANY source of insurance.

From: David Crisp 29 July 2020 15:20 PM

But it SHOULD be enforced and sometimes a LL faced with bankruptcy, will be desperate to: Get the tenant out ASAP Retrieve unpaid monies Avoid destruction of fittings Avoid destruction of fixtures and machinery Filth in general Avoid having to pay for incredibly expensive refrurbs Avoid having to pay very expense court costs, lawyer costs and bailiff costs. NONE and I say NONE, of that little load, is ever paid by these thieving non paying low lifes. HOWEVER, if it was made a criminal offence, then everything pretty much would be paid up and on time. And we ALL know that fact. We see that clearly in Germany and Australia. If they can do it, why not the UK?

From: David Crisp 29 July 2020 12:44 PM

It is already against you. Thank goodness. As most hard-working normal landlords would agree with me. Why on earth do you want people to rip you off? It proves you are a lunatic! Now sue me for freedom of speech because I disagree with your maniacal stupidity.

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 16:26 PM

Like you don't deserve to destroy the whole market with your pathetic left wing sypathies that will destroy me and YOU in the long term. I will revel in bliss in 10 years time when your whole portfolio falls apart because your feckless tenants have led you to bankruptcy for non payments encouraged by a pathetic government. The you will thank me.

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 16:17 PM

@Paul Barrett Exactly.....Well said - And I see little response from the wimping lefties.....! As always, as there is NO defence from the reality. DC

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 16:05 PM

Brilliant, and so, so right.... Presumably these guys have no business accumen whatsoever and also want to give free tenantcy to people who deliberatly want to rip them off...... And those tenenats have (ridiculously) been given the weapons to do just that to you. And you let them do it. Time and time again. I happen to not appreciate being being ripped off by anyone, for any reason, at any time. So OK...if you wish to lose your business to these thieves, then go ahead. Sooner the better and you might just come to your senses, but on second thoughts, left wing, nutter liberals rarely if ever do. I will fight and fight to get what is rightfully mine. Corona Virus or not..........It is their liability to pay me for my services that they agreed to. Even it was Smallpox, Bubonic Plague, or they have terminal cancer they MUST pay. It happens to be the rules they signed up for. Pay up you thieving shites. With lusk most of then will get the virus from their 3 weekly visits to Weatherspoon, where thay are spending YOUR money on their soon to be feckless children too..... FULL bloody STOP!!!!!!! And..as always most LL WILL agree with me.......Becuse they too want to protect their investments and families.......and livelihood. Sod the feckless scroungres and theiving asses.......I hope they die soon, so I can get my property back

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 16:00 PM

If eviction in that form is necessary, then let's bring it to the attention of the MOB in Whitehall....... And I WILL do it.......Otherise I will lose my properties and my earnings...And you will ied down and do zero!!! Typical lefty shit. So, I assume you will just go bankrupt without any action and just let it all happen. Good Luck to your stupidity.

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 12:35 PM

@ A Bhalla Brilliant.......And true.......and very well expressed. Marry me? :-)

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 12:31 PM

And anyway....You have no idea just how good I have been. However, the current regime forces me to protect my assets and my livelihood. Others have made this path, not me. I now must react to the climates.

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 12:29 PM

And so do I....It all very good until these people start to steal from me and strangely to people like you, you don't mind. Strangely, I DO mind, and I mind a lot. And in most instances it was because I was rather too kind to allow these people to my properties. Never again.....I am now going to protect my business to the ultimate. Why does no one see that if these people were punished for their crimes, then much less of them would steal. It is like saying to the murderer...."No worries Boss...Carry on as usual...Do it as often as you want...." Would you allow that? I know what your anser should be, but under your current views you would allow the wrongdooers to just carry on......... Answer please? If you dare.......

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 12:26 PM

And anyway, each and every defaulter is a piece of shit. There...I said it and it is true.

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 12:09 PM

@Dominic Tighe Then tell me honestly why it is wrong that I want compensation from people who steal for me and why I should not maximise the profit level of my business? Simple answer needed. And it is simple if you botht to think about it. Every business in this world does what I am doing. And they also will prosecute those who steal from them, and expect compensation, so why am I treated differently? So it is good for them, but according to you, not for me?

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 12:07 PM

Anyway, I am a landlord with a substantial portfolio, and I run it as a business. Not a charity. Contracts were signed, and I expect that to be adhered to. Just as any company would. Any default is illegal. Just as in any business. To not pay a debt in business is illegal. So why should I give it away. If I had wanted to start a charity, I would not want to be in this business. I hate thieves, crooks, scroungers, liars, cheats and defaulters. The system does NOT support me, so I have to fight what is best for me, my family and my children......And for that, I will do anything...Just as any business would. You really have NO LEGS to stan on........You are totally contradictory to normality. Have you ever given away anything?

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 11:52 AM

Is that aimed at me?

From: David Crisp 28 July 2020 11:36 AM

In Richmond and Twickenham, rents are going up & up & up... I love it.. The slime bag crook tenants will have to pay even more, and I will happily take it from them. All I am working on now is exactly how to shorten the eviction time, and I like the thought of "Illegal evictions and the Police will no even attend" That will work for me........

Paul Barrett24 July 2020 09:47 AM I will soon have two vacant properties. No way would I ever consider the dross that councils have on their waiting lists. At least with a vacant property I know exactly what my losses will be. No way will I risk more losses letting to DSS tenants. BRILLIANT - TOTALLY AGREE.........

From: David Crisp 24 July 2020 14:47 PM

I have always said the UK must follow the example of Germany & Australia. No payment...Then out you go. Simple really And Germany and Australia have hardly any rent defaulters... That say sit all. To follow that rule everyone understands it is the individual has to be responsible for themselvesand not expect your neighbour or Govt. to pay for you. In fact, to live in a free market economy, not a ramshackel communist opressed regime.

From: David Crisp 24 July 2020 14:46 PM

How long do we think it would take for the GOVT. to pass such a Bill?

From: David Crisp 24 July 2020 08:36 AM

Fair enough! Thanks for the enlightenment. DC

From: David Crisp 23 July 2020 13:09 PM

If the Govt. does nothing, then they will find themselves with a mammoth housing problem through lack of properties by Landlords either selling off, of just leaving houses empty. And I mean MAMMOTH!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 23 July 2020 10:44 AM

If it takes me more time, or any extra funds for whatever reason, then funnily enough, this will get passed on to tenants with an extra 15% of cost. And I make more money. Keep it coming please Mr. Johnson.

From: David Crisp 23 July 2020 10:40 AM

Let the Govt. pay landlords then. They have paid everyone else for wages at 80%, so why should they not pay Landlords 80% of THEIR income? Makes sense to me. Perfect sense.

From: David Crisp 23 July 2020 10:36 AM

Beaurocracy for beaurocracy - WHY?

From: David Crisp 23 July 2020 10:33 AM

Yup. So true. All of them feckless scroungers and thieves. Let them rot in hell.

From: David Crisp 21 July 2020 07:27 AM

If they have not paid....Then it's off to the courts we go. Hi Ho, Hi Ho.... I don't care how long it takes, but I will chase then form here to hell for what they owe.... Including Hight Court Bailiffs to speed up the eviction by at least 4 months, and CCJ's for now and forever more and for as many reissues are needed for life. The good thing is I can afford the High Court Bailiffs, and as many CCJs as necessary for as long as the renewals take. Bring it on, and be prepared to have to pay at sometime, you low life crooks, feckless thieves....and low life. It will serve you right. And my kind of justice will prevail. For sure.

From: David Crisp 20 July 2020 10:38 AM

@paul Kaye Absolutely correct. As far as I am concerned, whenever the Government puts more obstructions on landlords and more financial pressure on my business, it is great for me, because I increase my rent not only by the 100% additional costs I have to pay, but I add a further 20% which immediately gets passed on to the tenant. And that means the Government puts more pressure on tenants and makes me richer, every time. Now, that is the 100% opposite to what the Government had intended. How much more stupid and misled can these Civil Servants get? I just hope they carry on doing it, as I make even more cash. It is a new cash cow for me. Many thanks to No. 10. Sheer brilliance, and I thank you so very much. Please carry on for a long as you can.

@James Smith Seems sarcasm has not yet reached beyond Peterborough. :-)

From: David Crisp 19 July 2020 19:30 PM

@Paul Barrett Absolutely correct and so true. And I would be the first to forcibly remove the slime from my property if it meant my property was repossessed through no fault of mine. With whatever means. Complete with their belongings and children in the middle of the night if needs be. My business is there to protect my family too. Whatever the consequences.

From: David Crisp 18 July 2020 19:40 PM

Londoners threat eviction!!!!! Well if they have not paid their rent, than so be it. They go...And fast as possible and they should also have a CCG against them too, to pay back the lost rent. And why not? It is fair. They would have used my recourses, and not paid for them. Please tell me in what other industry that happen. They MUST be forced to pay for what hey have used... Maybe Sainsburys will allow me to just go to their stores, take what foods I want, and walk out. Would that be allowed? ANSWERS PLEASE

From: David Crisp 18 July 2020 19:27 PM

Terry - Yes.... A good idea for all the feckless, lazy, scrounging, thieving, cheap tenants should be sent up north, where they belong, or more likely that is where they came from. So send them back. QUICKLY is best too.

From: David Crisp 18 July 2020 17:08 PM

Why dreadful. Just a realist trying to live in this awful liberalised and unfair environment. I am looking after No. 1 - And that is ME.

From: David Crisp 15 July 2020 12:37 PM

Hurrah!!! At last we are getting some straight talking about the organisation of this business, and it is about time we open up even more and faster in order to shut down the disproportionate voice of the loony left and nutter do goody good liberals. Let's get real for once.

From: David Crisp 15 July 2020 12:36 PM

Simple really isn't it?

From: David Crisp 15 July 2020 12:29 PM

And technically, it is illegal that Local Housing Benefit offices do give that advice. Of all organisations, THEY should and be forced abide by the law, which means that the date on the eviction notice is the day the tenant MUST leave........NOT wait up to 3 months more for bailiffs to arrive. How is it they get away with ignoring a legal requirement?

From: David Crisp 15 July 2020 12:29 PM

Trine - You are just so so right. Excellent. On a more basic level, in a free market environment, it normal that an entrepreneur can chose what he needs for his business and be free of Government interference.

From: David Crisp 15 July 2020 12:26 PM

Surely, as it is MY property, I can and will be the final arbiter of who lives in it. Not some unknown piece of paper can make that decision. Over 25 years in this business I have always insisted on having a face to face to face meeting with all potential tenants and partners and children too if any. If they disagree to the meeting, then I will not let the house to them. After all, would you hire someone without an interview? I bet not! And I will continue to do this. It is my right to decide who I decide to use my very expensive asset.

From: David Crisp 15 July 2020 11:50 AM

I fully agree. Why do Landlord Association not lobby the Govt. about these vital issues. Seems easy to me and exactly the sort of thing they should be doing. How do we lobby these landlord agencies to do what they should?

From: David Crisp 15 July 2020 11:41 AM

Brilliantly crafted Paul. When oh when will any Government listen?

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 23:05 PM

Indeed.......I was caught one too. NEVER again. And then the Local Housing people often wanted me to go again. NO CHANCE. They messed it up for themselves through in terminal and useless beaurocracy. More fool them!

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 22:57 PM

T L You have every right, morally and sensibly to allow whosoever you want to be in YOUR house and however you want that to be. Sod interfering do goody good left wingers, or meddling Governments, who have no business in meddling to the extent they do in a Laissez Faire economy. Clearly I am a little right of centre, but these days even Boris is becoming a committed Marxist, like most of them. They should review the whole set up and let the business run itself as most other enterprise are allowed to. It is NOT their business to interfere how I use my assets. None at all.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 19:47 PM

Excellent. I think I love you.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 19:42 PM

I have no issues with Shelter. They do what they do which is nothing. I look after my business. Which I do very well. Break the rules, and like everything else in tis world, you must pat for it. Simple. And easy. And how would you feel if you lent your car to someone and they totalled it, and then decided that it is your problem and cost to fix it. And they walked away and you had to pay all the costs, and loss of assets and payments. And this person happens to do this continuously to you and many others, with no retribution whatsoever after you had worked hard all your life and they screw you over and over, and suffer no consequences. And then you are called the bad boy!!!!! My case rests.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 19:38 PM

If the tenant behaves and does what they committed to do, then I have no problem. If they break the rules, then for sure I will use all tools that are allowed to me. Full stop. As soon as these feckless good for nothings step out of line, then they get everything they deserve. Simple really. Play the game and we all win. Lie, cheat and steal, and you get problems. I don't see any other issues.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 19:32 PM

RL - Do you not understand the principle of a free market? If they don't pay (i.e. stealing) (and it should be a criminal offence by the way and for sure) then they should and must be punished to feel the pain. It they do wrong, which non payment is, then they need to be made to understand there must be repercussions. All I do with CCJ's and evictions, which are the only tools I have in order to rectify wrong doing to me, my living, my family and my hard earned business. Instead, you ask me to just give it away to some miscreant who has probably never done a day's work, who probably smokes, sponges off society for everything, spends 5 days a week boozing it up and has no idea of the harm they do to multiple others, or their lack of social conscience and an overall lifetime of obvious fecklessness and then who shed crocodile tears because they expect everyone else to take care of their wrong doings. None of them, not one of them, ever gets my sympathy for their predicaments. So such it it up you idots, and take responsibility for your thieving. I am fed up paying you 80% of your income and still not paying your commitments Go out and take up your proper responsibilities.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 15:46 PM

Excellent.....Yes I will bully tenants who do not pay. They are cheating me. and THAT should not be allowed, but this do goody current system seems to applaud it. Not for me I tell you.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 14:10 PM

More claimants for benefits? Shame. Serves them right! They should have worked harder, spent less, and saved more.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 14:08 PM

Oh yes...Another for my list: NOBODY and any benefit of any kind whatsoever. Don't care what's wrong with them.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 13:45 PM

There is always other words I would use. 1 No crooks 2 No thieves 3 No Feckless tenants 4 No Boozers 5 No ex prisoners or con men/women 6 No CCJ holders 7 No previous evictees 8 No non rent payers - even for 1 month 9 No filthy and disgusting way of living tenants

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 13:42 PM

Why discriminating as it is my property, and I must have the right to say to anyone wanting MY property? Don't see how they can tell I was/am discriminating. Even if they try to do anything, I can just walk away from it and try somewhere else..

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 13:38 PM

Excellent idea. No DSS No single Mothers No pets No children under 15 No décor changes No long term "mates" Or anything else I decide to have in MY contract as I want it. If the prospective tenant does not like it, then OK by me. They can just go.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 13:34 PM

No. You are wrong. So very wrong We are trying to protect our business, our families and our livelihoods from people who deliberately play and abuse an already very weak system. Let's see how they would react if they worked for 4 months non stop, and then their employer told them there was no money to pay them? They would expect to be paid for what they had already worked for. And they also do not understand that most landlords have mortgages, and if they have no income, the mortgage companies will repossess the house which ironically, will make the tenant homeless anyway!!!!! - You better giver that one some thought too.

From: David Crisp 14 July 2020 06:09 AM

< PREVIOUS ARTICLE Many private tenants ‘terrified’ that the eviction ban is coming to an end... Let's hope they remain terrified and let's hope they get even more terrified after the CCJ's appear to arrive and the instruction to pay back 4/5 months of unpaid rent as we all (LL) go to court for what is rightfully our money. And I will love every moment of it. And I hope they will enjoy their very last Wetherspoon Friday dinner for a long time......

From: David Crisp 13 July 2020 17:31 PM

And that is exactly why, that once a new tenant moves in, I take EVERY minor issue as an excuse to remind them that if they do not comply to contract, then I will seek an eviction. After the 3rd incident and written warning, every one of them begins to quickly comply. And long may it be so.

From: David Crisp 13 July 2020 17:21 PM

Excellent. Couldn't agree more.

From: David Crisp 13 July 2020 17:18 PM

Paul - You are correct. The crooks are using the virus to avoid their contractual obligations. And that is plain wrong. These people MUST be relentlessly chased to the ground to pay back what they owe. No other business in the world allows itself to be treated like this.

From: David Crisp 13 July 2020 13:35 PM

Tough. How come so many of these people do not understand that they signed a contract, and they must be obeyed. Otherwise why bother. If I default on my monthly payment for my BMW, they will be round like lightening to take it back. Why should I not do the same with tenant? How come these people seem to think it is OK not to pay rent? It is THEIR fault that they have not saved for rainy days. Everyone should. And no tenant should be allowed to default. I made it clear to all my tenants from the start that I would not be offering any form of lenience. And so far that has worked. And so it should.

From: David Crisp 13 July 2020 13:26 PM

I have a much simpler idea: When any tenant get into arears: 1. Begin evection processes 2. Open up a CCJ immediately 3. Follow it through to the High Court as soon as possible (This will save you at least 3 months being the length that local Bailiffs take to attend an eviction.) Job done. Goodbye and good riddance. It is also good with the HC Agents as the tenant has just a week to collect all their belongings BUT a the time discretion of the landlord. And when that point arrives, I always leave it to the very last possible date and time so as to inconvenience the evicted tenant to the utmost, especially if it means they cannot get to their favourite Wetherspoon on a Saturday night. That really messes them up. And causes them more cost in transport. I love that little one.

From: David Crisp 09 July 2020 12:05 PM

You are so right. How come the Local Authorities do not deduct the amounts they can.ie - Rents, CTax, TV Licence, Electric and Gas. It would save them also from having to chase and probably never get what is owing to them too!!! I suppose it is so simple for them that they have not even ever thought of it.

From: David Crisp 09 July 2020 11:58 AM

Absolutely agree with Terry. Not even if the Local Authority pays me directly. NO, NO, NO! and NO again!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 09 July 2020 11:55 AM

Bit like bread and butter falling butter side down!!!!!! Who knows the conundrum of that? I also cannot understand tenants and how they happily trash houses and mostly live in total s**t.

From: David Crisp 08 July 2020 14:09 PM

Sorry...If they don't pay, they MUST be evicted. What other business in the world allows destruction of their assets and still have to pay for it themselves. What other business in the word allows customers to default on payments and yet still they are the ones that lose financially? Answer - NONE... Why?

From: David Crisp 07 July 2020 12:34 PM

We all talk about the issues of the system, so how do we lobby to get the system changed to be fair...?

From: David Crisp 07 July 2020 12:30 PM

Rightly so. Bunch of crooks.

From: David Crisp 06 July 2020 16:07 PM

In my history all evictions have been trashing the property, unneighbourly behaviour or non payment of rent....... So I am clear there...!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 06 July 2020 14:42 PM

Yes, and over time, LL will find a way to increase rental prices, leading to more evictions. And round and round we go, with the only real loser is the tenant. But then again, I am happy with higher rents and I do not give a s**t how many time I have to evict, as long as I get paid. My business comes first, and I will protect it to the end...and I will take as many others as necessary with me if it collapses.....

From: David Crisp 06 July 2020 14:40 PM

SHELTER - SCHMELTA. Rubbish. If Shelter tenants miss payments, they should be evicted immediately.

From: David Crisp 06 July 2020 09:51 AM

Absolutely. If this dim Govt. continues to load additional costs and administration onto Landlords, then naturally, like any business will make sure that the tenant ends up paying more. This is the EXACT opposite of what the Govt. keeps saying that is what it want to do. How can they not see they are damaging tenants.

From: David Crisp 06 July 2020 09:49 AM

Get rid of them FAST!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 04 July 2020 17:07 PM

Shelter - Do anything for tenants? NO CHANCE!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 02 July 2020 09:41 AM

Why on earth do people who need housing get any allowance from any government. Historically you had to pay for your own housing and not get it paid a 3rd party. Housing is YOUR responsibility, not to be contributed by a government or your neighbour the tax payer!!!!

From: David Crisp 01 July 2020 17:31 PM

Well said Jo...

From: David Crisp 01 July 2020 09:48 AM

Lets hope that many of these defaulting tenants were actually on the beach in Bournemouth yesterday. At least it will keep all the total idiots in the country in one place!!! Madness. Total madness.

From: David Crisp 26 June 2020 09:59 AM

Do you really think the Govt. will do ANYTHING that upsets tenants? Of course not, any money involved or lost will fall to the landlords. Mark my words......

From: David Crisp 26 June 2020 09:52 AM

You are SO right.

From: David Crisp 24 June 2020 10:09 AM

Good on you Paul.......

From: David Crisp 24 June 2020 06:43 AM

Just put the prices up to pay for the extras. There will always be someone willing to pay for your product.

From: David Crisp 22 June 2020 19:27 PM

Of course not. So why do LLs have to pay? And tenants get it free.....???

From: David Crisp 22 June 2020 11:38 AM

Why and how can it be the fault of the Landlord if there is an unforeseen Pandemic, or a national lockdown? Also, how come Landlords are ALWAYS the ones who have to pickup the costs? A contract is a two way deal. No question.

From: David Crisp 22 June 2020 11:01 AM

Quite right Paul. Well said.

From: David Crisp 22 June 2020 09:55 AM

Sorry 6 YEARS!!!!!!! Even better.......

From: David Crisp 22 June 2020 09:50 AM

And the CCJ will last for 6 months. Unlikely any letting agent or sensible landlord will entertain her with that over her head. Tell her that is your plan, and watch her pay you something pretty quick. I did it once, and it was the best £60 i have ever spent.

From: David Crisp 22 June 2020 09:49 AM

Rubbish - A contract is a contact! Pay up or get out. There are plenty of people who want my houses and will pay. Just call me.

From: David Crisp 20 June 2020 20:22 PM

I hope so......

From: David Crisp 19 June 2020 00:33 AM

And as far as I am concerned, my rent will go up at about 20% MORE than whatever the Government throws at me with regard to the cost of running my business. To me, that is just simple business practice. If my costs increase, so does the price of my product. That is standard Keynsian economics, and no business can stand increased costs with diminishing income. Simple. VERY SIMPLE.

From: David Crisp 18 June 2020 15:22 PM

Excellent.....and this situation will not change under ANY Government. They just plain don't get it, and never have.

From: David Crisp 18 June 2020 11:11 AM

I don't really give a sh*t! My tenants are 1 year into a 3 year AST in June......So two years to go. :-) I have told the tenant that I will not accept any form of rent default, such as non payment, reduced payment or even one penny less that the AST states. If they want to leave within the agreed limits, then OK. But even then, one of the issues I will have in the next contract is that I will insist any new tenant gives a guarantor for at least 4 months rent if the tenant leaves before the contractual point. No Guarantor, no rented house. It is MY house, so you abide my rules. Ain't life tough!?

From: David Crisp 18 June 2020 11:03 AM

Yep - Exactly. And unless we join the commies it will, and should, ever be. At which time we will all get everything for free. What a wonderful life it will be under Putin and Xi Jinping.....Give that some thought you left wing liberal idots.

From: David Crisp 11 June 2020 15:34 PM

Jahan, it is business.......And just a buisness. The is no morality in business, especially if it it is yours!!!!!! Your tenants are your income, And rent payment is your RIGHT! Don't be such a puss*

From: David Crisp 10 June 2020 14:36 PM

And more and more piling of increased rents for defaulters will be necessary......

From: David Crisp 10 June 2020 14:28 PM

Here here....Should we start a Govt. Petition?????? I think so.

From: David Crisp 10 June 2020 14:27 PM

With carful choice of tenants, it is very possible. But LL need to find all, and more, protections, such as demanding guarantors, larger deposits, even some protection form letting agents that they must bear some of the problem of defaulting, social behaviour and damage. After all, they make money from the rental too, often for months on end for doing nothing and then a further 10% for overseeing woks. All parties have an obligation. NOT just the LL!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 10 June 2020 14:26 PM

And not one MP expresses any concern about Landlords who owe monthly payments. What is the difference of a tenant who has to pay monthly to live in a house, just as the landlord does - - EXACTLY the same to me.

From: David Crisp 10 June 2020 09:00 AM

Andrew said it perfectly........

From: David Crisp 09 June 2020 23:43 PM

From: David Crisp 09 June 2020 19:37 PM

Ah yes.....Well as far as I am concerned Ray, if they don't pay they go. And the faster the better. It is very much like "when the looting starts, the shooting begins". Same principle. You get punished for doing wrongly. It is only fair. I have already made sure my arsenal is clean, ready, and in tip top condition. There will for sure be a blood bath and also for sure, it will not be me.

From: David Crisp 09 June 2020 15:51 PM

Who is a dangerous fool?

From: David Crisp 09 June 2020 11:22 AM

It is the tenants obligation to pay. No excuses are acceptable, whatever they say. Tough if they cannot. They should ensure enough savings to secure unforeseen problems. As many parents, rightly told their children to save for a rainy day. Today happens to be a spectacularly stormy day. Tough...Live with it, you had been warned. Most other countries in the world including Germany and Australia have immediate eviction if rent is not paid on the date due.....And guess what? There are virtually NO evictions in those countries. Which would you prefer?

From: David Crisp 09 June 2020 11:20 AM

Do it then.......It is your right to make as much money as possible. Evict current tenants if needs be, or put the annual rate up. True free economy and laisse faire market rules.

From: David Crisp 08 June 2020 13:38 PM

Good. Sooner the better for all those rental crooks.

From: David Crisp 08 June 2020 11:42 AM

No.....you are 1000% correct. Stand by your guns and principles. It is YOUR property Good Luck

From: David Crisp 08 June 2020 11:41 AM

And so what happens to landlords who have to pay a mortgage? It will take mortgage lenders and banks about 2 months to seize the house the landlord has not been able to meet the payments! Guess what, as the landlord does not own the house, the banks and mortgage lenders will for sure evict the tenet from what is now THEIR house. So everyone loses: 1. The Landlord loses his property and has a massive mortgage to still pay off with no capital asset. 2. The mortgage lenders have the hassle of getting back their property. 3. The tenant gets evicted no matter what the Government says. 4 Local councils and hence the Government have to pay to house the evicted tenants. So... absolutely everyone in the entire mix loses. And they all lose a lot and they all lose it quickly. Very quickly. Stop it people, stop it. Landlords help if you can, for heave's sake mortgage providers wait a few more months and tenants, pay your blood*y debts - now and in the future and then everyone wins. Think about it.

From: David Crisp 08 June 2020 08:50 AM

Here here..... Quite right...

From: David Crisp 04 June 2020 09:40 AM

Charlie.....cut them some slack? What slack do you get from the government? Do you really think they will pay back the arrears? Dream on..... They signed a joint agreement with you. They should now abide by that commitment. No quarter should be held Sorry.......Life is tough, very tough and you need to take care of No. 1

From: David Crisp 03 June 2020 20:22 PM

Move on it very fast. Tell your tenant you will be doing it. Start the paperwork ASAP. Follow it with a CCJ as soon as you can, as that will give your tenant a real problem. Inform your Letting Agent and all other Letting Agents in the area that this tenant is a crook and non payer. Put it in the local classifieds too. Keep chasing and chasing......You do NOT need to the EPC every years. Only the GAs Certificate is needed annually. Good luck...but keep on their heads...It is your right to get your house back or the money.

From: David Crisp 03 June 2020 15:21 PM

Paul - Very well said and so right.....

From: David Crisp 03 June 2020 15:16 PM

Start all the paperwork that you can - NOW! I bet you will not get paid on 25th!

From: David Crisp 03 June 2020 15:13 PM

So the crooks who do not pay their rent are now going to be given even more of MY tax money! Wrong...plain wrong.

From: David Crisp 03 June 2020 12:26 PM

PLEASE...QUICKLY..... Tell me an investment that will give you approximately 4/7% growth per annum on capital, coupled with pretty much 100% capital protection AND an annual income from rental payments in the average range of £6K to £36K depending on area and house type. If you can, then you must be incredibly rich. Oh! unless, of course, you are a Landlord!

Quite agree...But Government does not historically pay people's rents!!!! And with a lot of these people, they will never be able to repay any kind of loan. They will rather head on down to the Pub or Bingo Hall.....than pay Boris any cash!!!!!!! And I assume that any loan for their rent should be paid direct to the landlord and NOT, I say NOT to the tenant..........

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 12:40 PM

To not comply with an agreement that you sign with someone has a very strong moral issue behind it. If there was no morality amongst the vast majority of tenants and landlords, then no one would pay anything to anyone. These people are just chancers, crooks and thieves. Full stop. And I will use all my recourses and cash to make them suffer for their fecklessness - whatever their circumstances. I am NOT a charity nor a benefactor, nor rich. I deserve to get paid the amount agreed on the day agreed as signed and morally. If they know they cannot pay, them morally too, they should leave immediately themselves. Wish we could go back to times when even a day or two of default, would mean I could go into the house and literally and physically throw them out with their belongings into the street.....How much leas hassle and lost money would that be? Oh - What Happy Days they were.

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 11:36 AM

So it is Ok to not pay for a service? Just a physical item can be considered a crime? Ok...In that case, I will not pay my lawyer, doctor, teacher, nurse, car parking, dustmen, council tax etc. etc.... I rather like that idea. I will however avoid jewellery and cars, though. I might also not pay my politicians!!! And Fireman, and Ambulances. I see you think by your last sentence that is fair on both parties, but I am sure I did not agree with my tenants that the tenants does not have to pay. In fact, contractually, the opposite I remember.

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 10:48 AM

The Police wont even attend a burglary these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You work that out!

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 10:30 AM

I mean it 120% They have morally stolen money from me. No pay, then away you go. No debate. I know the Police do not evict in UK....and I know non payment is a civil matter. I was saying the law in the UK should be changed to the Australian system. It is much fairer. And anyway, because of the Aussie rules there are hardly any evictions...Completely the opposite to the UK. We never learn. It frees up the courts too.

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 10:28 AM

Yes...that is why we should change it to the Aussie system. Here the law does not regard theft a crime!!!! Remarkable there is hardy any evictions in Australia. I wonder why?

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 10:23 AM

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 10:21 AM

Correct...And I have done just that on 2 of them...... I cannot wait for 25th June. Paperwork in place, and I am sure they do not believe it. Well...for sure on the 26th of June when they realise, they will choke on their Weatherspoon's cheap burgers and beer, - just as I open my Dom Perignon and caviar.

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 10:06 AM

I cannot wait for 25th to get going on these tenants of mine who have 2 months default - NOT ONE PENNY! The have been warned as well, and I have done all the paperwork. Sod them. They have actually stolen money from me. Where are the Police when I need them. We need the Australian system when when we are back on track, where the police pay the tenants a visit and if they have not paid and the police "escort" them if they don't pay up there and then. Roll on JUNE

From: David Crisp 01 June 2020 09:59 AM

Quite agree. I do not understand why some landlords give away their income!!!!!! Smell the coffee....You are running a business!

From: David Crisp 29 May 2020 14:25 PM

Pretty good thing to do if you ask me. Good value for money. I get forced to do it regularly and I love doing it...90% of the time I get back the money that is owed, and if not, I have the pleasure that the CCJ causes these crooks substantial problems for at least 6 years or more (I happily issue an ongoing CCJ, until they pay up what they legally and morally owe to me.

From: David Crisp 29 May 2020 09:41 AM

Tough on them. Not my problem. Why are landlords expected to forgo legitimate income and agreed and signed contract? No other business give the product for nothing! Still stands that no rent = no house... And any unpaid rent for no matter how long means they will be chased down forever through the courts, CCJs and the High Court. However long and however much.

From: David Crisp 25 May 2020 19:09 PM

Why should nurses not be evicted if they have not paid the rent? They are not unemployed nor are they furloughed. So for them it is business as usual! So pay the bl**dy rent you owe.

From: David Crisp 25 May 2020 11:43 AM

Who cares? If they pay their rent then OK. Otherwise they leave. I don't see Jaguar letting me have a free car for a year? So why should I give them a letting house FREE for an undetermined time? And it would cost me about the same as the lease on the car. Argument over.

From: David Crisp 21 May 2020 09:08 AM

Steve - Totally agree.......

From: David Crisp 21 May 2020 01:08 AM

Well said Shane... Same here. My 10 houses and all the hard work will provide a very comfortable retirement. I can hardly wait to sit down and play with those lovely bank statements getting bigger as each month passes....

From: David Crisp 20 May 2020 13:33 PM

Andrew - Correct - Property is King. I often get cold calls from people offering Investment plans and the like. My first question to them is always can they give me an investment that over time will deliver around 6/8% return with 99% security and an almost guaranteed capital growth over time in the region of 4+%. Funny how quickly the phone calls stop coming!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 19 May 2020 09:36 AM

Andrew - Quite right........Chuck 'em out. Pay me, all is good. Don't pay me, they get evicted...And I do not care what it costs. It is principle. Totally principle. I am sure your Bank Manager will be very fast to reclaim all your BTL properties if you default - Lucky if they will give you 3 months......At least my tenants get approx. 5 months. So who is kinder? I win on that morally. And legally.

From: David Crisp 18 May 2020 20:20 PM

If my tenants treat me with respect, and that is by paying my rental agreement and pay on time, they get a lot back from me. Rarely do I have any issues with any tenant if they pay. If they disrespect my entitlement, then they get what they deserve. And I love chucking them out. It is all and what they deserve, and on the occasion I do it, they get a CCJ as well.... Gives them serious credit issues, and if they do not pay me the fees for the CCJ, I renew it every 6 years until they pay to get the CCJ cleared..... And that is even more pleasurable to watch then have to pay me all their interest too!! Lets assume, I go into my local BMW showroom, and say I will pay you x amount for so many months and on time. What happens if I default? I lose the BMW! Immediately. What happens if I go to Tesco and but £150 of groceries and ask to pay them in 1 week's time? What would their answer be? I truly see no difference.

From: David Crisp 18 May 2020 20:13 PM

It has worked for me for years......

From: David Crisp 18 May 2020 12:23 PM

Legal and Moral I have 10 houses from 2 ups and 4 bed detached. As soon as they default the clock starts. No question. No banks involved, I own all 10. I hate bank Managers. My houses, my rules.... And I love attending evictions. Give me the opportunity to tell the crooks what thieves they are.

From: David Crisp 18 May 2020 11:39 AM

Why poor....? Far from poor. I just want my owed money. Simple. What is poor about a legal agreement. Morally the right thing to do is for a tenant to pay their bills, not to try slippery ways to try and get out of it. In fact, I hope they do default. Then I can get them out - I love doing the local courts, solicitors and the bailiffs, CCJ's, the High Court and Evictions, because then, when they get chucked out, I can be there outside MY house(es) to laugh at them.

From: David Crisp 18 May 2020 11:15 AM

But people who entered into a contract are liable to pay the costs of that contract. No matter what external issues are. Can't Pay your rent?....We'll take my house away from you. FULL STOP

From: David Crisp 18 May 2020 10:08 AM

Great way of thinking. Governments never seem to realise that sooner or later all their machinations will land back in their laps and will wreak havoc with the housing market and will potentially force them to lose power. Think now, and do not make a whole sector suffer.

From: David Crisp 17 May 2020 10:32 AM

Oh dear....A spelling mistake! Shock horror. I think I need to go and kill myself before the world collapses and comes to an untimely and gruesome end. And usually, in my little uneducated world, a sentence has a habit of beginning with a capital letter and a business the same, is traditionally started with a capital letter. To add to your diatribe, a sentence also normally requires a full-stop at the end. Well done. Did you not take time to properly proof read and carefully review your response?

From: David Crisp 14 May 2020 13:56 PM

As I understand it, tenants can legitimately ask/force their housing department to change the rent be given direct to them and not direct to the landlord. And even worse, neither the authority nor your tenants are not obliged to tell you, the landlord, that it has changed. So you could happily be expecting your rent to be paid to you account, and suddenly and unknown to you, it does not appear in your account. And then of course, the tenants will head on down to the Bingo Hall, The Pub, Weatherspoon's and Starbucks and then will go to the local bookie and onward to the baccky shop to buy their daily 60 Silk Cut and all before you can blink. It is just so wrong that the housing authorities allow this to happen, and for sure you will never see that lost rent again.. Enjoy.

From: David Crisp 14 May 2020 11:14 AM

And a fine system it is in Germany. Ans also their system demands that when you leave, YOU have to have the property renovated to the same condition you found it, as well as when you move in, you have to put in a NEW kitchen, and take it out when you leave. It works like clockwork every time and evictions are hardly known.

From: David Crisp 12 May 2020 01:22 AM

A virtue is a virtue, they never change. And anyway, all I do is get what is owned to me. What is wrong with that?

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 11:18 AM

I assure you all....I will never stop. It has worked for me before with 4 other defaulting tenants.....It took time, but my god, the satisfaction was just fabulous. And I got ALL the money I had claimed for....Every penny. And in 2 of the cases, even more. Contra to most thoughts on this site though, the Uk Courts do actually work for those who have genuine claims, albeit slowly. Patience and perseverance are truly virtues.

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 10:46 AM

I will drag them through the courts for as long as it takes and however much it costs until then leave.... FULL STOP

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 10:27 AM

Not only that, as soon as there is a default, I will put a CCJ on them through Money Online....And that will be an issue for them for at least 6 years, depending if I want to do another CCJ at the end of the first one until they pay. It is worth the money to mess them up. Don't care how long it takes, I will chase them to the end. I can afford it...Even if it for £5 or £100,000

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 10:13 AM

What does it have to do with the EU? I will use the High Court in The UK...Nothing to do with Europe..!!!!!!!!!!!!

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 10:10 AM

I will just take it to the High Court, as I always do, and bypass the court bailiffs. Much faster and easier. And ensured that the tenant will go on that day.

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 09:46 AM

There is no difference between arrears or fecklessness.....in BOTH cases they have not paid a legal agreement...... In both instances, they must go...and fast.

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 09:20 AM

For sure if they don't pay, then it will be my pleasure to serve eviction notices on these thieves. And why would I care? The colder the better. Maybe they will learn, but likely they never will. Why do they not understand their signed commitments.?

From: David Crisp 06 May 2020 09:18 AM

Forgot to mention that with my 6 properties, just imagine how much cash I will take when I sell that little lot in one go in a few years time. And even in the meantime their value is going up way, way, way more than any bank interest!!!! Win, win boys.

And I love being a greedy Landlord. It is what good old Capitalism is made for. So stuff all those ne'er do lazy, feckless good for nothing scroungers. May they suffer the very worst of the current crisis. Have fun, you fools. :-)

From: David Crisp 26 April 2020 16:23 PM

Yeah! That is all we do. Quite right! Never mind the back breaking work I have done for 45 years. I invested every penny I could. I never took one penny from the State. I always paid every penny of tax and on time, if not before. Never spent £6 on cup of coffee, or £75 pounds a night in Weatherspoon. Never tried to not pay a Landlord what was LEGALLY agreed. Only took 1 holiday a year, and then only if I could afford it cash. I did not breed copious amounts of children. I bought cars I could afford, and I insured them, and MOT'd them and maintained them to high standards. For the safety and concern of others. I have never blown all my salary on a Friday Night out down the Pub or the Bingo. And now, I have a fine 6 house portfolio, I help my tenants with anything except rental defaults. And I cash in about £10,000 a month. I own 100% of the properties, and I take a state pension, and a private pension. Which I also sweated , planned and sacrificed for. How have I done this? Simple - Very hard work, commitment, frugality, spent ONLY what I could afford, made long term plans, followed all the rules, offer a great tenant package, and take care of them in many other ways. If they pay the rent, I do the land lording. And why the hell do people like you think you can scrounge from landlords instead of getting off your arses and actually doing something yourself and not rip off whatever you can from the Government and honest people such as myself. If you were a tenant of mine, I would gladly let you have 3 months free, and then ensure that come the deep, dark winter of late 2020, at about the 20th December you would be evicted from my property with no help, except with the directions to the Housing Associations. I hear Shelter will not help you. I will also ensure those nice chaps from the High Court will be there to ensure you leave, and to take any property to cover what you owe me. Why would I pay them to do that? Because I bl**dy well can. Oh! Of course I would wish you a very Happy Christmas too, as I welcome the next suitable and caring tenant. Enjoy Xmas, and the New Year, and well done for your kids at that time too. You are an ignoramus, a fool and a downright idiot with your views. You need to be careful what you say about the people who allow you a roof over your head. Good luck and enjoy the cold, but welcome to the real world.

From: David Crisp 26 April 2020 16:17 PM

With an offer from you to guarantee rental payments to Landlords, you must surely have a pretty substantial insurance cover to protect yourself? I assume you are not under the misapprehension that all tenants pay all rent in full, at all times? If so, then you are mad! If not, then I assume that because of your very attractive yet foolhardy, guarantee, you MUST pay the Landlord what you have promised.

From: David Crisp 03 April 2020 15:14 PM

From: David Crisp 01 April 2020 16:05 PM

Never forget the CCJ....And never forget to renew it ever 6 years, and don't forget to add the interest. These people must be made to understand that renting a property requires commitment and responsibility. As long as they allowed to feel no pain, this will just continue. Go for it.......And evict as soon as you can.

From: David Crisp 31 March 2020 10:40 AM

I don't care...All these people in all my properties over the years have given me a wonderful regular income and a super duper pension fund. Long may your snowflake attitude last. Guys, do me a favour please keep having those expensive vacations to The Caribbean and spending £20 a day in Starbucks and stop bothering trying to save as I did. have a good time. I welcome you all, to continue to make me very wealthy. Please don't stop. And do let me know how your children survive. Well done. Just one more little Latte please Mr. Barister PLEEZ.... :-)

From: David Crisp 20 March 2020 14:45 PM

Start all the paperwork and the CCJs and all that stuff from now, so you be ready for day 1 when it returns to normal AND - Tell your tenants they will be out as soon as the 3 months is over. Tough on them, but who cares?

From: David Crisp 20 March 2020 10:18 AM

Is Richard Murphy an Idiot?

From: David Crisp 19 March 2020 16:50 PM

I never let them get away with it..... I ensure that every 6 years a new CCJ goes against them. So I am a constant and permanent reminder that they owe money.....Plus, each time, the inflation over the previous 6 years gets added...... They currently owe me around £11,000 - and I will never stop. The CCJ is good value each time just to make these people understand that they are GUILTY and that eventually I will get repaid. And at some time, I will get the High Court and the Bailiffs to get them to pay...That will be a VERY happy day. How dare they disregard the law?

From: David Crisp 19 March 2020 11:21 AM

Go for it. Don't let them get away with it for any cost...... The Court System for eviction is an ass. If people steal things they get banged up. Non payment of rent is exactly the same as stealing.

From: David Crisp 19 March 2020 08:45 AM

And what if rental income is the Landlord's ONLY income....Does he/she get the same from the Government in compensation, or do they just have to take the hit, which the same as being made redundant with no pay or social security. IE: ZILCH income from now to September according to The labour party!!!!

From: David Crisp 18 March 2020 08:46 AM

For sure...There will NEVER be a DSS tenant in my properties...Never ever..... Evert in the past there was one, it became a nightmare. No, no no and again NO!

From: David Crisp 16 March 2020 14:14 PM

I fail to understand why this Government seems to be doing the exact opposite of its published goal! They are ruining the issue of rent reasonableness for tenants and making it easy for Landlords to charge a lot more. Throwing more tenants onto the streets and into housing poverty. Fine for me, I love it with my 3 properties. Long may their idiocy last..... Carry on boys...Please find something else I can charge my tenants for at twice the normal rate and also for sure, there ain't no one going into my houses without a cash deposit that I have control over. If they want something else, they don't get the property. Simple as...I can wait. And the more they get desperate, the more I can charge. Happy days ahead.

From: David Crisp 13 March 2020 11:25 AM

If they pay their rent regularly, on time and in full as per the contract. If they take care of the house and do not trash it, as per the contract. If they stop asking their landlord to pay for, and fit light bulbs, as per the contract. If they take care of the garden as per the contract. If they swiftly inform the landlord of any issues as per the contract. If they do not sub let as per the contract. If they have no pets as per the contract. Then they have a lot fewer worries than ANY landlord!!!!!!! And they can stay forever as far as I am concerned.

From: David Crisp 15 January 2020 13:13 PM

Invest in taking it to the High Court. I have had to do it a number of times and it has worked well. It might cot about £1,000, but if you call tomorrow and all your paperwork is in place, you can get your property back in about 3 days maximum. Try it and Good Luck.

From: David Crisp 01 December 2019 18:16 PM

Not only that, in Germany, when the tenant leaves a house or flat, they have to pay for a complete renovation of all rooms to the satisfaction of the Landlord. If it is not done properly and by professionals, they get charged by the landlord.

From: David Crisp 21 October 2019 09:47 AM

If it is decided to scrap 21 and to introduce rent caps and open ended contracts (can be terminated by the tenant of course and NOT the landlord!), then the Government better be prepares for a mass sale of to rent properties the moment the law is approved, hence making 10's of thousands and more tenants out on the streets. The Govt. will have a much larger problem on their hands that can ever comprehend. Well done again boys and girls....You will surpass yourselves in Government idiocy, thoughtlessness and understanding of what you will be doing. They at least should be banned from selling their properties. Hypocrites to the end. All 650 of them. Grow up and look at the real facts. I bet the MP's who actually rent houses, will divest themselves of their houses as soon as the bill will look like passing.

From: David Crisp 14 October 2019 09:47 AM

From: David Crisp 09 September 2019 10:35 AM

Agreed....I cannot wait to increase my monthly rent to cover all the cash the Government very cleverly took away from me. I run a business...As ANY business, when my costs go up, so do my prices....! It is just simple economics, so how come all the super First Class with Honours Economic graduates in Whitehall, just do NOT get it!

From: David Crisp 01 August 2019 10:08 AM

From: David Crisp 01 August 2019 09:33 AM

From: David Crisp 01 August 2019 09:24 AM

All any council following this route is doing is causing tenants more grief. The more a Landlord has in terms of costs means higher rents. FACT! And normal business practice. I fail to understand how councils refuse to see that they do exactly the same with their business. Ignorance is not an excuse.

From: David Crisp 24 April 2019 12:14 PM

From: David Crisp 22 March 2019 14:18 PM

If I rent a car and damage it...I pay...and I pay a lot. Much more that the actual damage. Rent a car. Or rent a house....where is the difference? So how come these wasters and ignorant people think they are entitled to get away with it and with no repercussions whatsoever? Worst of all, local authorities and the LAW almost positively encourage them to do it. I am sad that the days are gone that the moment / second a rent is not paid on time, that I could personally go round to MY property and throw them and their belongings out in the street. We have gone so soft. Just like the country in general. I will chase ever single one for the rest of their lives.....Again...because I can...….

From: David Crisp 10 January 2019 15:59 PM

My problem was also with a single mum.....So Lyndsey Jones...….it is common place. My local council told me the very same, that it is their major problem area. In any case, I will never rent again to a single mother, or housing benefit crooks. The carelessness of the system and indeed the law has made me now to look after myself first. In my instance the first strike of any tenant and they are out. And I let my tenants be aware of that principle at contract time. Never had any issues since I made that 100% clear.

From: David Crisp 10 January 2019 09:58 AM

And why does the legal system not support me too. The Housing Benefit person I talk about was ordered by A JUDGE of the Crown to pay me £340 in costs that her actions had caused me. Of course she has never paid me and at the same time has no regard for the Law or the Judge. She literally spat in my face, the Judge and the Law with no repercussions whatsoever. Even the court bailiffs could not get the payments as she was never in her new property whenever they called and they said they could not carry ON GOING. In the meantime I took out a CCJ out on her and intend to renew the CCJ every 6 years as long as I live. Just out of principle and because I can. And I will. I would have thought that the law would want itself to be made a mockery of. But clearly it does not. Next time I break the law, and steel a Kit Kat, I bet 100% they will not le me get away and I will end up behind bars. Total idiocy.

I am here to provide housing, not to let theses types of people to rip me off. No matter how lucky I have been.

From: David Crisp 10 January 2019 09:09 AM

Excellent idea. Wish I had done that with the only bad tenant I have had over 25 years...... Unfortunately that tenant was a housing benefit tenant (against me better judgement)…..And then Government still punishes Landlords. The lack of Govt support and understanding will eventually lead t more and more landlords using the law to their defence and benefit rather than trying to be supportive to tenants. For me, from here on, I will even be issuing the section 21 notice 3 months before a tenancy end, just to ensure they cannot mess me about at the end of the agreement.

From: David Crisp 10 January 2019 09:02 AM

I don't understand that!

From: David Crisp 17 October 2018 10:18 AM

All damage MUST be paid for by the tenant. From whatever source, but not mine.

From: David Crisp 17 October 2018 10:15 AM

As a Landlord, I then will loose more income when the tenant leaves with no responsibility for the damage they will certainly have made. No responsibility for any damage will lead to ever more damage. My response will therefore be obvious. I will charge a higher rent, and if people don't to rent at the increased price, then so be it. A quick example: on a £2,000pcm rent will mean holding a deposit of £3,000. If that is not there, then I will be forced to put the monthly rent up to £2,250pcm to cover that loss just to stand still. However, under those circumstance, at least I would be guaranteed to have repair monies available without having the hassle of a deposit holding company at the end pf a tenancy.

From: David Crisp 17 October 2018 10:03 AM

Insane that the Government wants more housing on the one hand, yet punishes the (Landlord) suppliers in doing so. Additionally, they encourage people NOT to supply housing, especially so with cumbersome, and archaic laws about tenancy rights and the incredibly slow and sluggish legal system for the landlord to retain control over his property. It really makes me want to withdraw all 7 properties I own, del them privately and take off the rental market. There you go Mr. Government.... an extra 7 houses you will have to build.
