Demand Outstrips Supply : 'Rents Go Through The Roof As Landlords Sell Up'


Recommended Posts

These are the least offensive pics, just gives you some idea, tomorrow the large corner sofa is having to go, at least the tenant emptied most of his bottles of urine, although it was out of the window 🤮 but has left his number 2s in carrier bags 🤔

You accused me of taking the landlords side, Rachman was a landlord so by definition I must be taking his side.

 

I also speak when I need to speak, tough luck.

 

Do I need your permission to bring a name into the debate?

 

You are taking the landlords side and most landlords ARE NOT Rachman,  so by definition, I was referring to you as a landlord or an ex landlord which was correct.

You seem to be awfully touchy about having been a landlord when no one has accused you of anything. 

Speak as much as you like and I'm quite happy to reply.

If the tenants are on benefits then their rental costs should go through the DSS that would get rid of the non-payment issues

I agree, and that was how things were until recently, but the current government changed that.

That guy obviously needs some help if he thinks that's normal behaviour.     Not something I would like to face and I can understand how you must feel. 

Anyone who considers renting property out,  should know that they are making a business investment and,  like all business investments,  it carries a certain amount of risk.

It would be  a lovely world if all tenants and all landlords were nice people who played their part in a an arrangement which was good for both sides.  Unfortunately,  this is sometimes not the case.

So are you associating this behaviour with people who rent  or making it a case for charging the extortionate rents that most now charge .I know a neighbour near me who has just been told that her rent will rise from the £450  a month that  she has been paying to £750  she has lived there for 12 years and now fears for what she considers to be her home as she has looked after it and improved it at her expense .

It's fine it happened and we've dealt with it, we did try to help, on finding him laying in his own filth, we called an ambulance which took him to hospital but he walked out, contacted both his G.P and social services to get him help, but unless he wants it, it's not going to happen, he constantly told lies and no doubt needs professional help, but we couldn't give him that, plus we had the other tenants welfare to consider.

 

 we will bare the brunt of all the costs including his moving costs and draw a line under it, it's not worth getting worked up over it.

Such a shame that you were so unlucky with that tenant and,  as I said,  I can well understand your feelings and disappointment.

I, of course accept,  that there are good landlords who are unfortunate enough to let to bad tenants and it's not all one sided.

I would probably sound more bitter than you do if that had been my experience so I do applaud your attitude.

His rent was £260 a month plus bills split 3 ways, now hes left the other 2  tenant will not see any change, as we will cover a third of the bills.

 

we have charged that for the past 5 years and have no plans to change it, all appliances are under 2 years old we replace next day anything that breaks, boiler serviced every year we'll cover all costs as it's a business expense just means less for HMRC

When I sold out it gave me a very good profit on my investment, why should I feel ‘awfully touchy’?

If you sold the properties, the good news is you can't be a Rachman then,  and everybody's happy.
