You say this but no landlord that has wooden windows that are rotten that you can poke your finger through and they still passing environmental health

My dad has done this before. He rented to a lady with 5 dogs. The the viewing, she told him about the dogs, and he said I want to see how they behave. So without giving her any time, they drove over to her current place. The dogs were all kenneled when she was out. The poace was very well taken care of.... Except the lawn was dead from not watering. A year later my dad's house was well taken care of, and the lawn was dead. (It came back eventually with lots of water)

Shrewd landlord: People who live like pigs, will behave like pigs.

I'd prefer this method over a credit check...

i think landlords should feel lucky that they got to monetize a basic human necessity and to stop being so fucking greedy. you know what? ACAB includes landlords

On the flipside, can we as potential tenants get references for you as a landlord? For example: what was the average turn-around from notice to resolution on an appliance breaking down or an issue with the property?

lol isnt that the point of a reference?

i do understand the concern from the landlord, but that is making assumptions that the person renting has a home to begin with. Anyone can fall on hard times at any point, stay humble folks.

Landlords are leeches

I think it's his property and he can do as he likes.

What a brilliant idea! I shpould try this next time around!

Id say that in exchange, I want to see the landlord's rental and eviction history. Why should the tenant be taking the risk of moving into a property they can be evicted at no fault just a few years later?

What do I think? I think you Brits are becoming even more unhinged than Americans.

Why would I let a stranger landlord in my house??? Duh

I've done that. To show that I was more of a homeowner type Tennant than a place letter.🤷🏾‍♀️

i reckon 6 points for the driving offence.

I get the landlord's intentions and personally, if it gave me a leg up to secure the lease on a property I really wanted, I wouldn't have a problem with it, so long as it were a walk through and not them opening drawers, closets, cupboards etc... However, I'd have to have a conversation about how much and how frequently the LL would be expecting to come and "view" his property, once I've leased it. And I would DEFINITELY make sure the Lease includes that information and I'd make sure he knows his access rights and my privacy rights, legally. However, I think most folks would find this too invasive and it's not really necessary if you have been a good tenant, then you will have good references. A two minute phone conversation, or an email exchange to your current LL and previous ones, would provide the potential LL all the info he needs, including how well you've maintained the property. To those who might say "Tenants could be giving false contact info.", the LL can go online and confirm the owner/LL of the property you are currently leasing, as well as the past ones provided in your references, so they know your references are legitimate. What this really brought to my mind though, was that this LL must have some PTSD from previous Horror-Tenants. Poor dude.

Really good tenants that want to rent from him would be okay with that request.

It makes perfect sense, but if I say that, youtube will ban me.marxist platform?

I would not let a rando into my space. This landlord is trying to make money off of this but acts very entitled to the tenets life. That’s the risk he takes as a landlord and hope he gets a hoarder with behavior like that.

why do u even care about hes property =D

I getting the feeling that only landlords are going to think that the it's okay to look at someone's house before renting to them.

Sounds like a great idea. I’m gonna start doing that.

Smart landlord

I am completely proud of the landlord going the extra mile to find a VERY CLEAN tenant. He's obviously been badly screwed over before. You're being way too critical of the wine, Lord and it's none of your business.

A friend of mine who also wants to know this, has them fill out an application to rent and then goes out and looks inside their car. If they're a slob, it will be reflected in the state of their vehicle.

What if I'm coming from out of country?

Steam clean everything, make sure carpets are hoovered and clean, clean oven and white goods, clean light switches and plugs, ensure skirting, doors and architraves are cleaned and touch up any paint, dust and clear cobwebs. Do this even if the property was not cleaned or paint touched up as it is the tenants responsibility to leave it nice for the next person and also to ensure that the letting agent doesn't charge for things they do not actually do. My landlord was told the carpets were cleaned before i moved in and they were not. Also, how do you know that the letting agents are not charging for things that they have not done. Always take a video of the property when you leave as letting agents can give tenants a bad name.

Yeah, cool. I’m a landlady and think it could help to eliminate any possible disaster tenants. AND help discover the possible awesome tenants. If their homes are in perfect order, they will want to impress you. And show off what s say good tenant they would be. ALSO it shows they are highly agreeable. A great quality in tenant. A lot of people would be affronted by the thought of it. It would also be a chance to get to know them. Mmmm. Thankyou for that.

I heard this story a long time ago, my friend who eventually rented a place after agreeing to let the landlady see how she lived, rentals where really hard to find so she didn't have a lot of choice; I completely understand, some people are gross, I'd do the same.

I truly believe the Landlord is correct in what he wants to do because so many people get screwed on properties because some of the people that move in treat it like crap sometimes and the landlord has to pay a fortune to fix it. I don’t blame him one bit for wanting to do this I support it 100 hundred%!

And just drop a 24-hour notice that's what we used to do on our properties and always checked up on them

That's actually a great idea and I'm not trying to be mean we've been a landlord we've been tenants and I tell you what that is an amazing idea

Thank you for covering this

how long have you been a landlord for?

Hi, How long will take the conveyence work for grade 2 listed building? How long will take the enquiries are normal? Please reply

Great advice! Basically saying, stop taking life so seriously, it's not that deep. The best advice I can think of is.. Buy the worst house in the best neigbourhood. It's good advice in some cases but not all.

Nobody likes landlords man.

Fewer tennants

Hi Tom, your videos are great! Thanks you for sharing! I am torn between serving section 21 or increasing the rent, basically I realised I’m renting my flat which I didn’t increase rent for 12 years and is worth 80% more in rental market… I feel bad increasing it to rental market value because it’s a lot and at the same time I have a tenant who is a pain and I’m scared he goes against the section 21 because I didn’t share all the gas certificate and rental guide when he came in 4 years ago… I just want it to be managed by an agency because I live abroad and it’s challenging for me… do you have any advice?

When I wanna make my tenants happy I raise the rent nothing makes them more happy than giving me more money

Great thoughts on the due diligence required for buildings of historic note, any thoughts about similar needs when the house comes with a significant amount of land (also of historical note) and water-features etc. I gather that there will be local TPO in place and a certain amount of wildlife/environmental needs to consider. Thank you Tom.

Im convinced that as soon as someone becomes a landlord they lose all their humanity.

It’s not the rates it’s the tax.

OR honour the contract you agreed to.

Does your country not have increases to help with inflation? My rents went up by 6% or so this year Doesn't match the 10%+ inflation but it sure helps

Zero chance of them signing.

So for example if you've got a tenant and she's paying below the market rent and the reason why you want to evict her is because you know she can't afford it even though you increase the rent which you're allowed to eventually she'll be in winter is and then it will go through section 8? Or you say you want to sell your property you put it on the market for a big price take proof that you've tried to sell it you couldn't sell it and then you put it back on the market to rent again? End of the day marketing a property doesn't guarantee you can sell it either ? What would happen in the lateer scenario

the average person does not need a mortgage advisor unless they have complicated financial circumstances... just stick to the mortgage comparison websites... they'll give you the same/better results...

Many insights for a beginner here! Thank you Tom
