Reply to Scrapping of s21 postponed

by 123Landlord

ExpertInAField I can certainly see a lot of this stuff from tenants' perspectives. I remember as a renter being seriously affronted when my LL came round to have a chat with us about putting up the rent. Of course he had every right to do but I didn't know that and he could probably have approached...

Back when I Was renting, the Section 21 really annoyed me, as I would get them in the post along with the renewal offer.

It became a bullying technique of, "no, we are not letting you go periodic and here's the new agreement with the higher rent and worse conditions for you and of...

Reply to Section21 issued before March lockdown and latest developments

by 123Landlord

Thanks for the update.

What I think you're describing is what I consider to be a really muddled and unhelpful part of the possession process (even before Covid). This is the way I understand it ... Local Authorities have a duty to offer advice and ultimately to rehouse people who are homeless...

Section21 issued before March lockdown and latest developments

by Alistersmith

I remain slightly confused by latest government announcement on eviction protection. My S21 was issued on 16 March 21, my accelerated reposession for presentation to courts is in place for 21 Sep. There are no other factors - perfect tenant but I just need to sell house ASAP (sold subject to vacant...

Reply to Let a house to local council

by jpkeates

You have to consider how the council is going to recover possession in order to return the property vacant.

Let a house to local council

by r3drum

Guys

Have a property which is currently marketed for rent ( 2 bedroom - fully renovated ). Been about 3 weeks and not had much interest shown.

Can I assume there's agreement on this forum that it's a very important statistic considering recent and current debate? Do you know any organisation representing landlords that publishes an estimate? If I was putting together a list of 'key messages' this would be one. It would go something like this:...

Reply to Let a house to local council

by Hetjim

Almost all the above replies re letting to council are negative but the one positive reason for letting to council is that after 3 year or 5 year contract with council expires you do get the property back with vacant possession which is unlikely with a private letting and the soon to be outlawed section...
