More potential tenants than available properties means market forces will allow rents to increase, even if landlords are unaffected by any of the increases cited above. Tenants might need to cut back on expensive coffees, holidays and pcp cars as finding money for a home has to come first. Tenants can forego a Crunchie or Morning Star some days if cash is short but rent needs paid for every day they live in a property. Happy Days!

If tenants spent less on coffees, booze, eating out, holidays and leasing cars they would save up the purchase deposits much faster.

So tenants are now having to submit sealed bids? Welcome to the real world! Landlords have had to do this for the best properties for decades.

Surely the answer is to compel tenants to spend £15 or so on a CO alarm of their own? Teach them a bit of self sufficiency and to take some responsibility for their own lives instead of nicking the batteries out of the alarms that most landlords always fit?

No need for us to lose heart as long as we can pass increased costs on to tenants. Only a drop in demand will stop this possibility and that's hardly likely given the millenial generation's preference for fancy cars and holidays, eating out and expensive coffee bars instead of saving for deposits.

Things are a lot different than when Mary Barbour was alive. If she were a Glasgow councillor now she'd probably have a portfolio of her own to keep her until she got a safe seat in Holyrood beside Leonard and his out of date cronies.

Lenders boycotting pensioners should realise that pensions are the safest from of income. High salaries stop when jobs are lost. Pensioners also tend to have more time and cash to keep properties maintained and tenants happy, further reducing the risk on rent losses due to voids.

This man has cost decent Glasgow landlords (and therefore their tenants) thousands through Glasgow Council's over- reaction to that tragedy - and yet they have allowed him to continue his evil practices for the last 14 years! He should be jailed and Council officials fired.

Many dampness issues are due to tenants failing to adequately heat or ventilate properties. Are landlords to be fined for tenants' indolence in such circumstances?

Glad to hear of a landlord getting justice for a change. I hope this waster pays up and gets a real job actually working for a living, although I for one wouldn't employ him in any capacity however menial.

Fined £1000 for not replacing light bulb and for not replacing a kitchen bin! Totally over the top. In any case surely Tenants should do these things themselves!
