I can’t understand how Diane abbot is in the position she’s in ,in my opinion she doesn’t seem to be in reality,
Is London run by a Labour mayor I thinking she needs to have a word with him and ask why he's not building affordable housing, which he has the funding for
These politicians are so out of touch with reality.
well, we pay for their housing...they're feeling no pain. Also how many MP's are landlords ....
The presenters with their £200k salaries for a joke of a breakfast TV show where they spend most of their time slagging off Meghan Markle who doesn’t even live in this country, seem the ones out of touch with reality of most people.
Meghan needs slagging off.
50% of council housing in London has gone to immigrants - is this maybe why there isn't enough council houses?
Yeah I agree, ☹
This woman seriously hasn’t got a clue. It’s illegal for a landlord to put a rent up more than once in any given 12 month period, let alone every 3 or 6 months. It’s illegal for a landlord to charge to view a property and any landlord doing this needs reporting.
Also, a bad landlord is not a landlord using a no fault notice (section 21). A bad landlord is a landlord that carries out illegal evictions! Sometimes a landlord might need the property back and only has the option of a section 21 notice, they may need to move back in or sell the property and cannot use any other legal notice (section 8) as they don’t have grounds, if the tenant isn’t in arrears or causing problems.
Yes there are some unscrupulous landlords out there that are only interested in maximising rental income but there are no laws on what rent they can charge and ultimately, it’s a business based on supply and demand. Like any other business, if costs (mortgages) go up then rents will increase to reflect this.
From experience there are as many bad tenants out there as there are landlords but you never hear about these. Tenancy law strongly favours the tenant and if they do away with the section 21 all that will happen is rent going up and more rented properties will be sold, reducing the number of rented properties further, increasing the demand and subsequently, increasing prices.
Tenants, be careful what you wish for!!
Blimey. Someone who knows what he's talking about. 100%
Are you questioning her explanation on people being charged to look around...she has said a few estate agents ' have told her that' so is she lying...or the estate agents???? lol
Absolutely outrageous situation Diana Abbott spot on
Weave wearing skank who blamed whites for her activist getting shot by roadmen
About what
I really feel for landlords.they just can't rip people off it seems to retire early to count their money, its getting tough.
I’ve never missed my rent since my father passed 5 years ago and I took over the tenancy. He also never missed the rent in 20 years before that. This is including through lockdown where 60% of tenants defaulted in payments. I still have carpet (which is threadbare) from the 1970’s. Wallpaper from the 1970’s. Radiators (which hardly work) from the 1970’s. Last year they installed a new bathroom which was much needed due to using a bucket to bathe as the shower taps were so old they wouldn’t work.
My rent has gone up 3 times in 3 years. Plus £100 extra per month straight away once the previously mentioned bathroom was installed.
I’m only 29 and have no other family to rely on. But I still keep paying my rent on time.
3 days before Christmas I got a no reason eviction section 21. This is due to them wanting to put a new tenant in here with a higher rent due to the demand. Putting my rent up to £1000 would be too much of a jump and illegal, a section 21 is a loophole for this.
This is a 2 bedroom flat in North West England - not London. Something seriously needs to be done as I have never asked for anything and always paid rent but still have got treated like s***. The LL got left 50 properties by his father, and the mortgage was probably paid off in the 1980’s when he was born. The fact they want such a large rent is phenomenal and evil.
This HAS to stop. Families will seriously suffer across the country if this carries on. They are abusing the system for their gain.
The landlord can put the rent up to a market rate. You can got to a tribunal. But there is no loophole. S21 needs to stay. Without it it means long court waits for a landlord and endless counterclaims from tenants.
In Germany such an eviction law doesnt exist. You can get evicted, but only for good reasons, and the landlord has to go to court for that and prove his reasons. Tennants have laws to protect tennants.
@@Stuart3162 Yes, and tennants have to be protected. They are part of the society. They are human beings. Landlords should be aware of their responsibility. Evictions on a whim should be banned. Thats no way to treat human beings.
Do you think, more homeless people will be good for society?
At some time, the pitchforks will be taken out.
@@elipa3 Fine. That's not acceptable for many landlords. Too much protection and they don't rent to tenants at all as it was here until the late 1980s when ASTs were introduced.
@@elipa3 Landlords lives matter too. They are also human and part of society. They need and want their property back when they want it.
Go and hire a car and tell the hire company you are not giving it back. Got to Tesco and take food to the counter and say I'm hungry but I'm not paying for this. But you still have to give it to me.
The landlords pitchforks will be coming out soon too.
I don't want homelessness. But the government needs to build more homes and stop letting endless amounts of people into the country.
If I'm not mistaken the Tories have been in power for 13yrs and Jeremy Corbyn offered to help by building a million council houses but people wanted brexit not affordable housing and voted Tory!
🎯BULLSEYE…..Some people would rather kick down,than punch up. In other words many British voters are stupid & self defeating,cowardly bullies!
Corbyn offered the world for free but couldn't say where the money would come from
@@1allanhay Unlike the Tories who gave billions to their mates during covid The money lost on test and trace would have paid for the houses £39billion lost to the Cayman Islands never to return but you probably know that but it doesn't suit your narrative!
@1allanhay It comes from taxes and taxing the super rich who "Hoard" 80% of wealth and income in the UK the House benifit bill is 20 billion pounds a year making these private landlords rich
She thought they were talking about land mines.
Strange isnt it. Tax landlords out the market 》less availible property to rent 》rent fee's increase. People need affordable housing and demand outstriping supply will always create problems.
Asking Diane Abbott for a financial. Solution? Lol. 😂😂😂😂😂
Regarding landlords they are worse off due to the goverment taking 20%of the entire income of the property including the mortgage , I’ve never heard anyone charge a tennant for looking around a property they may want to rent total lies
Agree, this is more Landlord bashing and they wonder why the supply has dropped.
Bring fair rent back , that's when the council send some one out to see how much you can rent your property out for
I agree. Councils come round to measure rooms and if it's suitable for renting out. Also see the amount of natural light coming into the property. Far too many landlords are renting out properties, most wouldn't house a rat in. Mould , dank and dark. They still expect the rent tho lol it's a con and a national scandal. Landlords get away with this because the lack of housing and lack of council housing ...thank thatcher for that
Yeah great. Let’s make it free rent. Good luck finding somewhere when landlords costs go up because some numpty at the council is valuing something. No thanks landlords steer clear of councils. They don’t earn a proper living.
when that one in green sad to useless Abbott 'let us have the details of those estate estates as wee need to look into!' yeh, like she is telling the truth she just using clap trap.
"Hoping" to build, well at least it's not a " we will"
If the government stopped offering ridiculous incentives like Help to Buy that subsidised Developer profits, and helped inflate property prices then the younger generation might be able to buy instead of being Forced to rent!
Agree - Governments have created this problem. Landlords are exiting the sector and the next generation have been deterred by Government policy to enter, hence a lack of supply.
Some landlords rent out awfull homes wont do repairs if the tenanants complain they put them out i know someone it happend too . On the otherside of the coin a lot of tenants do damage and ho off with out paying rent and fuel bills
Look, I’ve been privately renting for over 12 years now and I have not had a ‘good’ landlord yet! 2 x section 21’s because I reported mould and damp, 3 x had to move because of disrepair and the landlord won’t help. My current landlord asked me if I wanted my rent increasing by 37% (£320 a month)or a section 21- I had no other option but to take the section 21. 6 weeks to find somewhere to live now but I cannot afford another private rental as they are just not affordable anymore. I’ve asked the council to help but they just told me that I will be put in temporary accommodation like a bedsit or hotel. I can’t believe that life has got so tough.
Sounds like you keep having mould. Landlord knows there’s not a problem with the property until you moved in. Then you’re there complaint. Mould isn’t a problem in home occupier properties so much. Precautions are taken and it’s dealt with as soon as it appears.
@@Stuart3162 wow. FYI, the house was built in 1903 and had no damp proofing done ever, leaking roof, no ventilation ie trickle vents, extractor fans, a boiler that’s over 40 years old, do you need me to continue? Like I said before all landlords I have the unfortunate pleasure of meeting have been rogue. End. Of.
@@beautybev you have ventilation by opening the window. I don’t have extractor fans and trickle vents.
In terms of being rogue it takes one to know one. End of.
@@Stuart3162 windows actually open in 2023, no way! Thanks for your help, really appreciated! 🤣
@@beautybev I’ve had mould in my tenanted property. My washing is outside. I go to meet a damp guy and my tenant is drying washing in the house whilst I visit. Some tenants need a kick up the bottom and they still don’t open windows. They call the landlord…. 🤩
Why the comment section for GB is open?
Mass immigration all willing to rent with overcrowding to share the cost.. this has taught landlords that they can ask for more money with multiple occupancy. This has made it unaffordable to rent on your own or as a couple. Also to many wealthy people buying swathes of property for cash investment and holiday homes which is pushing up the cost to buy. Stagnant wages for over a decade while the cost to rent and buy has sky rocketed. The immigrants are moving to the uk and the native brits are leaving or migrating further north or west country to get away from the negative effect its having on the job and housing rental/buying market
Nicola Sturgeon could have just turned Twitter off.
A bad landlord is one who will gladly rent out a property that's not fit for habitation.
Did you attend university
And now look where she is
Pure greed that's all it is stop them.
Good luck to renters when the revised EPC rating requirements come in.
Agree, imagine having to get a C rating on a northern property, built in the 1930's. It will not be economical and the supply will reduce further. A problem the Government have created.
Any mention of bad tenants?
Dianne abbott ,reform love your help to our party ,nothing pleases us more than your diversity and help to your British friends
Why oh why do we have to see this woman on TV
Wow. Did GMB actually turn on the comments section? After years of closing it !
She confused Dianne when she stated "already their mortgage is double the rent they are charging". Dianne hasn't done doubles yet, or singles.
Lol...smoking her son's crack
That's not true, most land lords have already paid off their mortgages.
@@boblazar1976 They haven't
@@JohnSmith-ho8up Most have. In fact many are getting more than the mortgage if they split up the rooms, 3 bed house split into 3 room apartments as the used to be living room, this would be a master bed room with living space, charged more around £800 per month, the rest £600 per month, thats £2,600 per month, and the Mortgages is around £1,000 per month, deduct utility bills, youve still got change. This is a low estimate on maybe 2008 rent prices.....each room can now be atleast £1000 per month easily with bills included !?!
Bless her, nobody deserves the abuse they get, and dianne Abbott is a pioneer for young black women and black women in general. Regardless of whether you agree with her, she is a leading figure and inspiration
It will cost about.
I never heard of landlord charging for just looking at property
Well done Madley and Garroway. So a couple of big questions you failed to ask. 1. So a buy to let mortgage are generally tracker mortgages and so as the Bank of England raise the base rate the landlords mortgages go up and so this has to be passed on.
2. The Labour Party Mantra is council house ,council
House ,council
House. To be paid for by. Yep you guessed it the hard working middle classes that work 40/50
Hours a week to get by pay bills
And survive. This country is so messed up. We need a reset on politicians , media presenters and the general policies this country has.
How has she got a job? She literally just said Labor is going to bring in a rule that already exists
Labour puts diversity box ticking ahead of competence. Abbott is I suspect mentally ill, either that or just completely thick.
Abbott hasn't a clue has she
Bloody hell the comment section is open?? 😲
i rent to my daughter. i am a pensioner on a fixed income, i am a carer for my grandson my daughters rent has not increased for over 10 years. if i charged the going rate she would not be able to afford it. the problem is maintenance costs are more than rent revenue. a radiator leak cost £80 pounds to fix. but the damage a leak costs is far higher
Oh no !!! Wake up sheeple !!!
Poor Ms Abbott she would be out of her depth in a padding pool. Not her best subject arithmetic. Mouth in gear ,brain in neutral.
And really, has she gotten loads of abuse? Or was it people expressing their disappointment in her capacity as a politician.
Get to the point Woman!!!
Don't worry they are all leaving the sector and the properties sold to private individuals,so removing a tranche of housing for those that can't buy.
Cap rents build council houses
They are hoping building more council houses,i see so many council houses empty ,left abandoned and why council , doesnt given these houses to people who are working hard but well doesnt earn like these people on tv or politicians and help them out
She's wearing a syrup 😂😂
Shame how cruel can someone be so hurtful
I’m sure this women is a liability within Labour
And to the country
Diane is wrong. Landlords can’t put up the rent every few months. It’s once a year maximum.
Also good landlords issue S21 for all sorts of reasons including selling. Often with a bad tenant a S21 is the quickest and cheapest way. Yes BAD TENANT. No fault is specified but a lot of the times there’s definitely fault. But landlords doesn’t have to deal with endless counterclaims about repairs, asthma, autistic kids, hurt felling of a tenant, hardship etc. All mainly BS claims.
The more restrictions put on properties the less properties there are.
Landlords and tenants should work together and be friends. The politicians promising you the earth don’t care about you. They are chasing votes and being woke. There’s going to be a lot less properties as time goes on. Maybe it’s time to love your landlord 🥰
I’m a landlord and I love my tenants, I’m lucky, they’re all brilliant. I haven’t put rent up for 5 years, get problems fixed and it’s worth it for good tenants to stay. Not really worth doing financially though, what I don’t spend on repairs etc I give in taxes, as and when they move out it’s probably time to sell the property, I feel for landlords with bad tenants, most of them lose out and sell up as soon as they can
@@GR-hb5gk haha that’s me. I have African tenants who have grown mould in a previously mould free property. Council involvement, fraudulent no win no fee letter for all sorts of lies and thousands of pounds later I’m selling. 4 broken window handles? 3 internal door handles? Rent arrears etc. They are a PITA. I thought they may be but I have them a chance to live somewhere. They don’t say thank you for anything. All 4 kids apparently have asthma too.
I read Gove’s White Paper in June (Brown Paper) and got a solicitor straight away. I’m not get stuck with this sh*t forever…
Only read upto about half for the sheet comedy horror value. Landlords will need to apologise to tenants! No mention of it being the other way around!
Sent my bailiff’s risk assessment off a few hours ago 😀
I bet Diane Abbott doesnt worry where she is going to sleep
Clearly Diane standing up for renters and the panel questioning like Landlords. Good of Diane to stand her ground. Let’s hope Labour do build lots more council houses too to fill the housing gap.
😅😅😅
Most will go to illegal immigrants and ethnic minorities ! When was last time you you seen a homeless Asian or African on the streets HOMELESS 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Dreaming reality check, Britain don't have the money one more time Britain don't have the money
I love how “bad landlords seem anecdotal cases, one or two” but “we all know so many good landlords, poor landlords, such struggle all the time” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Bad landlord who doesnt do repairs ,but still want the rent
As thick as mince. I thought she had been kicked out of Labour - what is she doing representing them on TV.
Sack Diane Abbott
Well, at least here in Germany, we have laws to protect tennants. You cant be evicted without good reasons, and a tennant is able to go to the courts, if the landlord wants to raise the rent without improving the appartment. Rent raising is capped at certain points.
Landlords are obliged to take care of houses and appartments.
When I moved autumn 2021, the mixing tap in my new appartment didnt work. I called my landlord, the state ( social housing) and they sent a plumber to fix it. I paid nothing.
We have legal aid. There's too much useless **** in this country. They get funded to put forward all sorts of lies etc that means have to wait an awful long time for court and for landlords to pay out. For many court is not even an option.
Tenants don't need a court order to get in the property so they don't need one to go.
Too bad its fucking Germany
Or new Turkey/Mogadishu
Southampton council charge for everything that should be free an example change tap washer repair electric switch or bring in your own tradesman
You know how they burned witches - should we have the same sort of thing with, ENTER HERE!
So full of lies…
my old landlord had over 200 places should be a maximum of 5 to 10
Doesn't she talk a lot BS. Diane talks as an expert and knows nothing about renting !
A bad landlord doesn't do any repairs either Diane.
Why do people look upwards when they are thinking whilst speaking?
It will cost..... it will cost 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How many houses do you own Dianne ?
It beggars belief that Abbott gets tv time
This woman is clueless about everything and anything she should not be in politics
We also need to encourage good tenants to ensure persistent damage neglect to homes they rent doesn't cause extreme damage to homes. As well as community degradation. In our street we have one private tenant, they do nothing to care for the home, it is run down litter everywhere. They bully the neighbours either side. The landlord is very elderly, so does nothing. It is a vicious cycle of decline, if a tenant cares not & doesn't report works needing doing. The Council wont step in to resolve the issues. So the rest of the community suffers.
It is interesting that some tenants wont report maintenance when damage occurs in a home they rent, as they dont want to pay rent to increase for damages incured.
Home should be homes & not GGDP.
Social housing bungalows need to be kept for the disabled & elderly, instead of young families. More bungalows built for the elderly & houses for young families.
Jeremy Corbyn was fighting for our NHS that's why they did a hatchet job on him.
Without landlords everyone would be homeless or in b and b hotels.
Without the tenants, there will be no landlords
Abbott in full command
Dianne Abbott and Jeremy Corbin are the latest version of Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht. Don't lose your head in the local canal though, Diane. Great day for Germany.
Landlords have been ripping off tenants for a long time. Regulation is overdue and needed.
Diane great form I remember her as a journalist she was fantastic
Ah man when she said a white man killed Sasha and it turned out two DARKIES did it
Such journalism
What a load of ald nonsense
If you want to solve the rental market problem, do the following:
1. Stop taxing landlords on their gross income. This is one of the things driving up rent. Their costs go up so do yours. Government meddling has directly caused this.
2. Build more council houses, the demand is high, the supply is low, this is screwing your market; double whammy.
3. Don't remove section 21, the government should have no say in what you do with your property on principle alone. If someone wants to move back, sell up etc, they should be able to do so.
Absolutely love Diana Abbott!
Typical wasting time, the interview isn’t about her so answer the questions directly without bl st
I usually just watch Diane Abbott interviews to make fun of her, but she actually did a good job here. No criticism from me this time.
Labour would bring in a law for an anecdotal issue that's already illegal under the current law? Er... what? So this is a segment about a problem that we're not sure actually exists and we've got the most clueless political grifter to discuss it? Thank you Good Morning Pointlessness.
Why do you have some wone like Diane abbott on your show
For the entertainment!
No just need social housing for legal born 🇬🇧 instead of people just expecting to jump the queue especially if they turn up here illegally.
Meantime 🇬🇧 on the street and more going into poverty.
Some families waiting over 8 year yet two minutes in the country and they expect back and front doors.
250 thousand 🇬🇧 on the street and rising.
You reap what you sow.
Diane is beautiful.
I’ve the number of a great psychiatrist if you need it
From ten mile
The happy hippo looked startled from the get go.
presenter morphing into rachel Johnson
If Thatcher hadn't sold all the council houses off there wouldn't be a housing crisis !
i agree with her idea that all twins should be given a 1 bedroom flat so they have a room each genius
So if you have triplets so you should given 3 bedrooms because every child has own room
Thank God this woman never became Home Secretary in the Corbyn Cult .Could you seriously imagine the Corbyn Dream team in power
