Pointless piece of legislation. The courts are all but shut so how will tenants be taken to court? It will be extended automatically and didn't need legislation but I suppose some chinless and brainless MP said this should be included. Just another example of them interfering in something they have clearly demonstrated they do not understand. Politics is STILL the last place a man with no discernible ability can make a decent living!

And you try getting a matter into the courts. Money says they will be closed to all but the most brutal of crimes. It will be driven by self isolation. The courts are just not big enough to get 12 good men and true to be 6' apart (notice I don't say 2 m since we are out of the EU we can revert to feet and inches, miles and not kilometres ponds and ounces and not kilograms)

Neither you MP or the comment maker previously KP have read the article. It quite clearly states 'six days AFTER A TENANT GIVES NOTICE' not 6 days after the tenant has vacated. Try engaging brain before opening mouth or in your case before writing a bit more drivel you quite clearly accuse the on line agent of making. This just makes you look a damn fool. It's no wonder the letting agents are not well thought of by Jo Public. You have justified the derisory comments you truly deserve.

In taking the private landlord to task with unfair taxes etc etc consider that the build to rent sector is increasing at a fast pace. This will ultimately reduce the private landlords to a much lower number and the big boys will take the lead. This will then reduce the number councils putting homeless tenants into the private sector and into the 'affordable' area of built to rent property built with perhaps incentives by HMRC and the Government. We are all being pushed out in favour of large institutions being those providing rental property. We will in time need to find a better source of income for our old age. Any ideas anyone?

......In its election manifesto the Conservatives pledged to introduce passports “to make private renting easier and cheaper.” It will only make it cheaper for those who are committed to spending on reckless purchases. Good tenants will save a deposit for when they next move so I am unable to see how this system will make it a) easier or b) cheaper. Deposits for good tenants get returned so it will make no difference to them. JB states it as a retrograde step and who can or will disagree with him?

Let's get this right. They are paying out £425 more than they can afford! Well they must have fiddled their income to be able to rent a home above their income. Any agent or landlord that does not do a credit and income check only have themselves to blame when things go wrong. A good tenant is far better than a good rent.
From:

Don't know what all the fuss is about. Tenants have always known that to move on they need to save another deposit. If they are unable to afford the deposit they should not have had the tenancy in the first place. This is easily described in one word, economics.

I agree that a mutual surrender is better than serving notice. Problems arise when a LA does not use common sense in setting up a tenancy. You are one of many who choose a good tenant rather than a good rent. GR is an empty vessel and we all know that these make the most noise. With all that s going on in our political landscape tenants in the private sector would have registered if they wanted to vote. People are not the fools these jumped up self serving organisations make them out to be.

'A member of the council’s housing advice team will carry out regular tenancy checks, and property inspections if requested.' Well I would have thought it should be mandatory for the regular checks to be carried out in order to protect both the councils position and the landlords property. All very well waiting for the tenant to vacate and then what, spend thousands putting right what should have been spotted long before? That is why good managing agents carry out regular inspection visits.

So why did it take 7 years to get sorted out. Shame on you Westminster Council. 7 years of horror for a tenant in a sub standard flat. The planning team did just tick boxes and did so for all those years. Sack the lot of them and reduce the time to pay up the fines - 9 months is way too long. 14 days would be much more sensible. He was collecting just under £100,000 per year in rent and what a scumbag he clearly was. He has been given a slap on the wrist and time to pay. Shameful.

Since the housing crisis was caused by politicians in one way or another the only way they can now see their way clear to resolving this is to pass the buck and force landlords to sell at discounted prices to tenants in occupation. This of course will absolve any government from having to build any more council houses or affordable rental property. Affordable rental or social housing is not getting added to the housing stock as builders keep running back to planners stating they can no longer afford to build the number approved so planning gets changed retrospectively. There will eventually be no private rental properties in any great numbers but by then those who were involved in the decision will have long moved on to another job for the boys! Private landlords will by then have emigrated to more shall we say sympathetic locations.

If a tenant is unable to save for a deposit on the next home they want to rent then they clearly must have lied about their income to get the current home or perhaps they were not credit scored properly. This is therefor down to the agent/landlord just not doing their job properly at the outset. No fees chargeable to tenants will mean less of them qualify so more will be homeless. That's going to be a shame. Caz Cazza has the idea in a nutshell. No cleared funds deposit no tenancy granted no if's, no but's and no maybe's. If a tenant can't afford a rented property then he should not be a prospective tenant. The application should be binned.

Someone just glossed over the duty of care investigation of the location of the deposits. To take on any rented property from another agent they should have carried out a search of the deposit location, got it confirmed long before taking them over. They were then left to do the dirty work of the rogue agent and must now suffer the flack. Did they pay over any money to JWEAL for this portfolio of properties? If so, why?

This is the 5th paragraph of this article above and should be analysed carefully...........'The new standard tenancy proposed by the CSJ would end automatically at the end of the four year fixed term; landlords would be able to renew further four-year terms if rents are successfully negotiated with the SITTING TENANT............' Now you have had a bit of a bleat you should all look up the meaning of the words sitting tenant. It's food for thought and the reason we DO NOT want to create a sitting tenant situation or indeed a protected tenancy. I see this protected tenancy rearing it's ugly head again as it did many years ago. The demise of protected tenancies gave rise to the Private Rented Sector. We do not want to make a retrograde step now do we?

Cheaper to sort out the problem than have to house a homeless family thus increasing LA property available for those worthy and entitled to it.

From:

From what I read in these columns LA's spend months and months faffing around after an initial inspection to actually take any action against a rogue landlord. It is no surprise that they want to extend the scope of these blackmail permissions to rent property and whoever thought that after the first such scheme that would be the end of the matter was wrong. This is just another area previously thought would be left alone showing the scope that LA's have and the brutal way they look at gathering in money for a very limited outlay. As stated by so many this is not a way of curbing rent levels it is merely a way to make money with little effort.

“We find it is generally people who come to Oxford from overseas who have the spaces to rent because they usually don’t wish to use a car while they are here.“ So it appears to be tenants letting out parking spaces. Are landlord's aware of this sub-letting? I bet the tenancy agreements do not allow this and the "reputable" agent is condoning this action. It defies belief that some agents are party to illegal arrangements. What does this Scottfraser Summertown lot have to say in their defence? Probably not a lot.

"It (the Guardian) says that some rogue landlords who may have been banned from operating in one area switch their activities and buy in other locations where they are free to own and let units." This is an example of exaggeration for the sake of emphasis. Landlords who buy in other areas face punitive costs which far outweigh any profit they may be able to make in another area. Just add up the costs of selling and then buying and this whole statement becomes a complete nonsense.

But a lot of good may come out of it. Don't be too quick to put it down to an income stream as it would not be so much of one if all landlords complied. I hate the idea of a licence but can also see the reverse. Perhaps a change of your attitude JB would be in order?

Condensation and damp are two different problems. A survey with the right equipment can clarify the problem. Try setting out a costing schedule that the tenant will pay in the case of the problems being caused by negligence by the tenant with a cost to the landlord if it is a found to be the landlords fault. Condensation = lack of ventilation and heating. Damp = water penetration from below, above or from the side. Simple!

The generation rent voters are being abused here. All those involved in complaining about the problems being put in front of them by not only our elected dictators but the opposition has similar ideas to maybe get the generation rent vote to get the other side out. THINK ABOUT THIS A MINUTE. Rent needs to go up because tenant fees have been banned. Rent needs to go up because of S24. Rent needs to go up because demand outstrips supply. Rent needs to go up because landlords may be forced to sell to a tenant to avoid CGT and does not want to lose rent in the meantime. Come on you lot - get your brains in gear and let the idiot politicians get out said gun and shoot themselves in their own foot. The government will do what it damn well pleases and all your demands and rantings will be completely ignored. If it all goes wrong the politicians who wanted and forced these changes, if any, expect to be out of politics at the time when the proverbial poo hits the fan. Lesson over (for now).

To sue tenants is a waste of time effort and money so landlords need a bad tenants register together with a signed off inventory as proof the property was good to start with. This would thin out bad landlords and pass the buck back to tenants if they chose not to sign off an inventory. It doesn't matter who produces the inventory provided there is a good one.

Two things here:- 1. Who will challenge the Council for putting in place an unworkable piece of legislation. Together with challenging the Council by FOI requests that they (the Council) will and can show that they comply by the same set of rules applied to landlords. 2. I would like to be the first to pat this man on the back and say "well done you for wanting to comply with Council regulations irrespective of how ludicrous and poorly thought out they are". You clearly take legislation and rules to heart and act as a very respectable and responsible landlord. Hence you have a very large and successful portfolio.

Rent controls were in place previously with rents fixed by law for 3 years. The only increase allowed was the increase in council tax (rates as they were known) so landlord's were stuck with a fixed rent but not a fixed tenant for the period. No reason why a landlord could not insert an option to continue renting to a good tenant in occupation and evict a bad tenant based on breaches in the agreement. If the changes suggested were invoked then this would be a retrograde step and certainly not progress.

This is similar to the time when in England we had 'Rent Officers' who could set rents for 3 years and rents included council tax. Rents during that period could only rise by any increase of council tax. In those days council tax was known as rates. The rent officer set the rent and NOT the landlord. He would allow research in his rent records but if it was not in his records it absolutely could not be used as evidence. This could be a retrograde step if adopted here in England. But then the elected dictators who are commonly known as Government take no notice of those who elect them in the first place in any event.

I read this as another nail in the coffin of banning tenant fees and possibly deposits and certainly landlords not taking on benefits supported tenants. This clearly shows landlords looking after their own interests based on well publicised problems with those tenants who have little or no regard for landlords income. They get their 50" flat screen instead of paying rent knowing they will move on and do the same again and again to the next unsuspecting landlords. Any ideas when our Government will learn what problems they are causing in the housing shortage with changing legislation and how this is being exacerbated? What do the tenants who simply don't pay when living in social housing actually cost the local authorities? Will anyone grasp the nettle of research into these costs under the freedom of information legislation? Please wake me up when the answers are ready to be analysed and read.

The difference here is that agents charge the seller and not the buyer. No signature from seller means agent will probably not market in any event.

'................Three in five private renters currently do not have a pension, compared to just over a quarter of mortgage-holders..............' Interesting that the holders of pensions in the PRS is 30% and in the private ownership just over 25%. So is this a 4% difference?

And when Rent Regulation was brought in the level of rent set in any disputes was based on rent levels in 1937 when the housing sector was divided evenly at 50/50 owned and rented. The rent was set with an uplift based on inflation or some such thing but it was grossly out of date with reality as was compulsory purchase prices paid to those being bought out by local councils so they could build on the land that they stole or as many did sell it to a developer at a huge profit. When I first started in agency if the Rent Officer set a rent it was fixed for I think 3 years and could only be increased by the increase of as it was known at that time (housing) Rates or as it is now known Council Tax.

Go for it Emma and let's hope you make a start in getting a level playing field so that landlord's can find out about these people. Many years ago I heard of a landlord who entered properties of non paying tenants and 'borrowed' the T.V. remote controls which I was told had the desired effect. Rent payment in exchange for remote control and he got paid very quickly! Much quicker than going to court.

Just had a thought. Ever tried to borrow money from a bank? When you ask they hit your account with a fee without asking - they just take it and wave the 2 fingers at you. So, we have 2 areas of complaint now. Taking away agents fees and up go rents. When tenants do not pay rent and trash places, up go costs. What is needed is sensible fees chargeable and this keeps rent in line and have a list of bad tenants and this keeps rent in line. Yet once again like a stuck record I ask who will start the list of bad tenants?

Thinking this through if agents are unable to credit check prospective tenants who then go on to default on rent the speed at which the legal system works needs to be fast tracked.

Being old I remember the time when all borrowers had MIRAS. This was a tax relief on mortgage interest which was deducted at source. In other words borrowers paid less than the true monthly payments as the revenue was part funding it. This was phased out with much anger in the market but over time this has been forgotten. I suspect that the changes by our elected dictatorship of taxing landlords will be, in time, forgotten and built in as a cost. Such cost being passed on to the tenants.

Probably over time the rents will increase for new stock acquired after April fools day or more likely will the sale prices will drop to take this into consideration. When mortgage interest for all was removed in the past the market took years to recover. I hope this does not happen again.

In the news today is a note that by 2020 there will be 370,000 homes in the council & Housing Association sector will be lost. This gap would normally be filled by private landlords who are now inevitably going to reduce due to the bungling of G O with his attack on the private landlord sector. If the majority of private landlords are owners of portfolios of less than 15 properties there is a good chance the increase in the number of homes being lost could rise even higher. It may well be that G O has shot himself in the foot on this one. Governments are wonderful in that they employ unskilled labour to fill roles in government i.e. ministers without brainpower or knowledge on the subject they are employed in.

Now this has come about because schools in many cases take children initially in the 'catchment' area (I thought agents were not allowed to quote catchment area?). So this is another 'statement of the bleeding obvious' as mentioned by John Cleese.

Here is as John Cleese put it a 'statement of the bleeding obvious'. Rents and property prices always rise in January to April - always have done and always will.

P D - the elected dictatorship most people call the elected government do as they damn well please as all dictators do and say this is what we are doing and there is nil you can do about it. P C hit the nail on the head but who will notice? I agree there should be a response from HMG and I see nothing in these columns. About time Letting and Landlord Today followed this up and let us have some information. But they only write about what they want to. We shall see how they respond.

It's all very well putting this information if you suspect fraudulent activity contact us immediately at security@rightmove.co.uk when you have to hunt around on the site to find it. Surely it would be more effective to have this information more prominently displayed perhaps on each page opened?

It's a no brainer really. Leave it dirty and deposit gets reduced. The other one is changing meters to pre pay takes hours to get the supplier to change back to a normal meter. The time taken to do this MUST be calculated into the final return of the deposit. Tenants just don't seem to get the idea that they have to pay for the agent's time to deal with this. No brain see!

I wonder if any punters will see this as an agency only offering Council property and not even bother. Why the high cost with losses posted before they even open the door? Is this a recipe for disaster? With government cutbacks I bet the locals will not be happy to have their Council Tax spent on hair brained schemes!

So we get to the bottom of the Right to Rent legislation. We have a scarce supply of rented property and our elected dictatorship government wants to restrict those entering the market by an increase in stamp duty. We are looking at a number of private landlords who will sell up so the private rented sector has a two prong attack against them. When will governments get skilled people in jobs they know about from their own background? Probably never as it is a jobs for the boys situation which will never change. We bemoaned Grant Schaps as a plonker in our industry with no brain between his ears so we have no change here then!

Can anyone give some reasonably accurate numbers as to how many properties are in the private landlord sector at present and how many units are in the build to rent sector at present together with the number of units which will be added over say the next 3 years to the build to rent sector. I am afraid the percentages quoted above is a meaningless set of information without some numbers being put in. Who will be able to rise to this question? I would guess none would be about right. Come on surprise me here please. I will keep looking on this one.

Issue a Sec 21 Notice with no explanation and the interpretation the tenant makes is "I am being evicted". If a phone call is made explaining that a notice is coming and if they want to stay on they can (assuming rent has been paid etc.) then more than likely they will and not think the worst. Learnt that one long ago but how many others do this? Answers here please.

So Barclays do not think that BTL mortgagees are "twice as likely to default" as noted in the previous article! The mind boggles and makes you wonder is Carney of the Bank of England paving the way for even more restrictions of this market.
From:
Paul Robinson
27 January 2016 13:08 PM
"Conservative MP Chris Philip asked Carney to comment on the fact that buy to let mortgage holders are twice as likely to default as owner-occupier mortgage holders." Where is this information coming from? If BTL holders of mortgages are "twice as likely to default" why is there so many lenders willing to hand money over? Surely if the situation were as stated by CP then the BTL market would perhaps start to dry up.

Looks like a plan to me but it may take a very long time for any decision to be made. What chance is there of a House of Commons debate giving weight to the request by way of an on-line petition? Only needs 100,000 I think and there are surely many more thousand agents and landlords who would be happy to add to a petition so getting this moving would not be such a mountain to climb. All those in favour say aye.

B & R do not appear to be 'opening an office' but opening a desk in a development. This is a good for the developer as he has an on site selling agent at minimal cost and good for the agent as he does not have the expense of actually opening an office. Bet there are a lot of agents out there who wish they had thought this one up!

I agree some improved banding is required as many EPC's are based on 'assumed' items. In some flats the loft does not belong to the leaseholder and they have no right of access and if insulation is below standard who is to blame?
From:

Great idea? If the occupiers of a 2 bed flat are unmarried couples then is this an HMO? Some would say so and where does this leave the landlord? Up the proverbial without a paddle no doubt. I don't think Rightmove have given this enough thought.

The bit here about insurance being vitiated with housing benefits claimant's is nothing new and one of many reasons not to deal with this kind of prospect.

Surely the first paragraph 'wants the government to complement its action against rogue letting agents and tenants'... should read '.....and LANDLORDS....' Anyway the Councils have access to the full list so why can't letting agents have the same courtesy extended to them. When a reference request comes in agents are not allowed to issue a letter of truth to the enquirer. They would be in double trouble as the tenant would not leave and extend the misery to the landlord. Good idea to get a list if it is possible but it needs to be public as there are many private landlords who would like access to such lists in order to protect themselves.

With the announcement of 130,000 new houses being built under Mr Cameron's hand the consultation period will be over before their is anything firmly in place for these houses. But I bet this piece of unfounded future legislation will be part of the PM's arguments to any critic of this new penalising stamp duty on those who can least afford it. I suggest that whoever talks to him at his clinic they are ready with a very good and constructive response and let him know in no uncertain terms should this be an answer to a future (perhaps) shortage of rented properties in the private sector. The government just can not build this many houses in the short term or even in the mid term as this government will be gone by then and who knows what will happen to all these lovely new homes promises. I think that Boris Johnson has a similar dream but a very limited uptake but I can't rember the nuts and bolts of that one so can anyone enlighten us?

Landlord gets convicted in one area then how likely is that landlord moves to another area and does the same thing? Once fined that landlord may find it cheaper to do it properly and maybe not move on elsewhere.

So you bought some buy to let properties and have a choice of 2 buyers, one an investor and on a say 'normal' buyer. Normal buyer not faced with huge stamp duty cost so will in theory pay the price and the investor deducts the stamp duty rise and offers less. Which buyer would you go for?

So lets get this straight. No 'lead landlord' was inserted as has to be done for joint tenancies where one 'lead tenant' is responsible for the deposit. Oh dear!

The last time a change in circumstances was pre announced there was a mass purchase to get in by the deadline and the following day the phone did not ring and there was a massive crash in the estate agency business. Being a bit older I can remember things like this that so many in the business today have no idea about what went wrong before.

I agree with Jonty. Agents are glad to see the back of bad tenants and are unable to report properly on a reply to a check from the next victim agent.
