Fery, I have one protected tenancy which works well, but I did know that when I bought it for the right money, my tenant, a lovely little old lady 90 in a few months has lived there since 1958 and keeps the place well including the garden , I increase the rent every 2 yrs, I'm happy with the income, it works, but I can see situations where protected tenancies could be a nightmare

I agree Simon it's not worth borrowing to get up to EPC C , If I up grade any of mine it will be done so with my own money, but I will only be making that additional investment if I consider it worth my while doing so, other wise it's sell one per year

Agreed we can never be 100% certain, but there are good tenants out there , the letting agent I use is better than most, benefit claimants automatically fail the affordability checks, I've had some nightmare single mums in the past once they are moved in the moron boyfriend moves in as well, so no to single mums and I don't really want under 25s either, now that we have so many applicants on every property that comes available we can pick and choose carefully

Shelley, I have an ex council house just like yours built 1953 in Norwich, I have a lovely retired couple in there who have made many improvements themselves, rent paid every month never a problem, but I have a similar problem to yourself, whilst not mortgaged ,but they are only paying £565 a month, a similar house just down the road just let for £900 per month, my tenants can't afford that, at present £565 is still a good return on what I paid 10 yrs ago, £74k + around 20k in works, But what happens when EPC C comes in ? well they likely won't be there then as they are getting older and the lady sadly has the big C .

Robert I both agree and disagree, I have basic contents insurance at home - never claimed, myself and my wife have health insurance - never claimed. My father had been driving since the 1920 (yes I came along late in life) always insured his cars fully comp - never had a claim, until 1976 when he insured third party fire & theft - yes he had an accident and a nearly new car written off, sods law hey ? out of interest are your cars insured third party or fully comp, have you ever written one off

Couple of yrs ago I had a guy and his teenage son move into a property, within a month he wanted to leave, nothing wrong with the house, he had made up with a former girlfriend and wanted to move in with her, I gave him an option of paying the rent until I found a new tenant and cover my expenses, he stayed the 6 month term paying the rent and then left, fair enough, now if this new ruling comes in a tenant will be able to leave a week after moving in, how is that fair to a landlord of a good property

The only way to handle inflation is to let it rip as it did in the 70s, when costs increase we all pass those costs on to the end user, the heating engineer that might have charged us £70 to service a boiler last yr will be charging us £80 this yr, and £90 next yr, that all has to be factored into rent increases. Talking about the 70s, remember that long hot summer of 76, I was 22/23 and working as a HGV fitter for the local nationalised electricity company, my take home pay was £30 per week which was good money then, many were taking home £20-25 per week, wonder what a HGV fitter takes home now ? at a guess £500 per week, that's how inflation works, there's no stopping it

Some very good points there, I've always been open to consider a tenant with a pet, and have, and have had, some really good ones, I used to ask for an increased deposit, as I cannot do that now it has to be an increased rent in order to factor in possible costs when the tenant leaves, it locks like now every tenant will have to pay that extra rent whether or not they have a pet, just incase. All coming to light as the '' unintended consequences, of these new rules .

How is this '' blanket ban'' on benefit claimants going to work ? over the last 12 months I've had 4 properties come vacant, on marketing them I have had in excess of 10 viewings on each and around 6 suitable working tenants apply to rent each one, I'm always going to pick the best tenant who I think will be able to pay the rent, that automatically rules out any benefit claimants as they will always fail the affordability checks , so benefit claimants can view, and they can apply, but they are never going to be successful

Andrew townshend

I'm in a very similar situation to you Simon, a fit and healthy nearly 69 yr old who still enjoys work, until very recently I just wanted to carry on, even to buy another one, the cash is there , I think I'll carry on until 2025, then as they come vacant I will have to think long and hard which way to jump, and that's looking more and more likely that I'll be jumping ship, maybe just keep a couple.

Bill, I'm probably much the same as you at present and ' happyish' however when all this nonsense comes in I will not be 'happyish' and I will not be operating under these rules, so as properties come empty they will sit empty until sold one per year, 16 properties, no debt so the proceeds will see me out in comfort , likely my children will miss out on a fat inheritance and the government will also loose out on all that IHT, but that's not my problem

I do much the same keeping rent increases low for good existing tenants but take full advantage of market rents when reletting a property. On the subject of housing benefit claimants I don't know how landlords can rent to them with local housing allowance so far below market rents you are either not going to get the full rent paid or going to be renting to them far too cheaply either way those tenants are a nightmare

Too late the damage has already been done, many landlords have already sold and many others are in the process of selling, on the plus side for those of us that are left more tenants after each property that comes available means we have a better choice of tenants to chose from which is more important than ever now, rogue tenants and the workshy need not apply, we don't want you at any money

Tenants fee ban soon caused rent increases, landlords running scared of what the government are going to do to us next is causing many to cash in and go, so shortage of supply = rent increases, then we have the real big one around the corner, EPC 'C' who will be paying for that ? not the landlord !

''These actions need to have consequences'' that's rich coming from a council, it's as much their's and central government's actions that have consequences in the PRS. The threat of EPC 'C' is having consequences already as landlords sell up, add to that the threat of rent controls and many more will either sell up or go over to air b&b.

I did something similar some yrs back, the tenant would give me a cheque for the rent, then she would stop the cheque rather than going overdrawn, this of course bought her time, the first I would know about it was when my bank posted the cheque back to me, then she would arrange to meet me outside her place of work on her payday lunch hour, so when she asked me for a reference I chose my words carefully simply saying that the rent was always paid, which of course it was, I didn't feel great about it but I was so pleased to see the back of her, she also left me with broken furniture and rubbish to clear, but hey the fat cow was gone.

We had the tenant fees ban, so the fees were passed onto landlords who then passed them onto tenants by increasing rents, we had the deposit cap which was also passed on by increasing rents, the cost to 40% tax paying landlords with mortgages is also being passed on to tenants, as will the costs involved in up grading to EPC C, end result many landlords selling up, shortage of supply and increased rent to the poor tenant who is the one being hit , now they talk of an additional tax and even rent controls, how are the government and councils going to house all those homeless families ?

I've recently had 2 Volkeras fitted, 5 yr guarantee, if they go wrong after that it'll be throw away and fit a new one, I've got one Ideal, 7 yr guarantee now 2 yrs old , a Baxi , 5 yr guarantee, now 6 yrs old, and a Worcester which is around 12 yrs old, but I did have to spend £350 on that one this yr, I don't think there is any such thing as a ''good'' boiler these days. The rest of my properties are electrically heated, less hassle but more expensive for the tenants

First mortgage I applied for, 1978, was the old Abbey National, didn't get past the young girl on the counter, every thing was negative, they just didn't want to know, so I drew all my money out there and then, went to see the bank manager at Barclays and had a first class letter next morning offering me the loan, it's always been difficult getting that first loan, probability even more so now as most young people live their lives on credit

The first property I purchased at auction (1981) I would have paid 25k for, didn't tell the girl in the estate agent's office , she was too quick to tell me they weren't taking pre auction offers, I paid 22k on the day, but I do think whether buying or selling at auction they should be bought or sold in the room, and that applies to ebay as well , few yrs ago I put my HiLux truck on ebay, within moments I had people wanting to give me 5.5k for it, which I would have been happy with, but to be fair to all interested parties I did not accept, it sold for very nearly 7k at the end of the listing to a very happy guy.

I agree, tenants have every right to know that their landlord is a fit and proper person, as we need to know that our prospective tenant is a fit and proper person to be renting to, tenant selection is key now, no risks, better an empty property than one with the wrong tenant in it, leave the wrong tenants to the wrong landlords, they generally deserve each other.

And beware the auctioneer, or a plant in the room, running the bidding up, going back to the 90s I was bidding on a repossessed corner shop, I dropped out at 30k, the bidding went onto 39k when the auctioneer withdrew the property saying that was not enough, after the auction I wrote to the solicitors acting for the bank selling the property offering 30k, I bought the property for that offer. Never trust an auctioneer, estate agent or a solicitor in an auction room, worse than back street secondhand car dealers

I agree Grace, we live and learn, and hopefully learn by our mistakes, as a landlord of more than 30 yrs now I have certainly made my fair share of mistakes along the way, I've had non paying tenants, I've had properties left in a discussing state ( which I've personally cleaned and repaired my self) no point moaning about it, what's done is done, but I have learnt, no DSS, no single mums, no one under 25 and no all day curry eaters.

By making it harder to evict makes it more difficult for tenants to find a home to rent, landlords now check out new tenants very carefully, if in doubt, if it doesn't fell right don't rent to them, better an empty property than one with a tenant from hell in it , don't think the government have worked this one out as yet .

I'm sure that paying tenants are safe in their homes, I don't understand why any non paying tenant should be allowed to stay in a property owned by someone else though.

Seems to me most degrees are worthless these days, I've told the story before of my friends daughter, a first in law and couldn't get a job anywhere, leave school go straight out into the work place and own your own property before these uni students have done a days work, as it used to be and as it should be again.

We have the ex Norwich City Council works dept in Norwich, it's a huge area, they cleared it yrs ago right beside a large council est, and there it sits empty doing nothing, yet they are desperately short of social housing

I take your point Jim but if a tenant is cagey about his/ her previous address / s then we would smell a rat we can also check on the electoral roll, once again if there is no record smell a rat, bank statements are another give away what address had they been sent to ?

I agree, money claim online is cheap and easy to use, no need for a solicitor, there's a chance we might get lucky and get our money but the main thing is the nonpaying tenant gets a CCJ to their name

When the right to buy first took off there were double glazing sales men and loan sharks touring council estates getting the new mortgaged owners to max their borrowings against their properties, new windows, doors, conservatories , horrible extensions were sold, then the new BMW appeared in the drive, all paid for with their new 25 yr mortgages, of course many of these people were soon bankrupt and back in rented properties, so the lenders put the properties in auctions and landlords bought them

Present owners are unlikely to sell at below market value to a council, it would make more sense to put the property into an auction. Converting office space into flats ? but we don't need flats we need houses. As for housing the homeless, you've nailed it there Grace, as the saying goes '' you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make it drink'', the homeless are homeless for a reason, generally of their own doing.

I think most of us have a great deal of time for our service men and women, problem here is that they have all been housed and looked after by the services done their 21 yrs and out into the big wide world at around 40 yrs of age with little idea as to how the outside world works, there is no such thing as '' get rich quick schemes '' it all takes time and hard work.

Mr Khan talks about balance, how about a control on landlord licencing fees, rents increase because of costs imposed on landlords the same as any other business, it's called inflation, I'm noticing the price of diesel at the pumps is rocketing, will their be a price cap there or will it be controlled by market forces just like everything else .

Exactly if a property is that bad why don't tenants move on ? because generally they are the kind of tenants that no other landlord would rent to. I don't know about Dudley Council, but Norwich Council take months, even years in some cases to remedy faults in their housing stock.

Not all pets destroy houses, responsible tenants with pets in the right house with a garden are generally not a problem, in flats would be a big NO, as would large and / or dangerous dogs, it's a shame that we are no-longer able to take a pet deposit, so now it has to be an increased rent for pet owners.
