No-fault evictions to be banned in ‘once-in-a-generation’ reforms
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2024
- After years of promising to legislate to protect renters, the government has finally introduced a bill that will allow tenants to challenge poor landlords without losing their homes.
The Renters' Reform Bill will not only end no-fault evictions, it will end bans by landlords on tenants who claim benefits.
Renters will also be given a legal right to keep pets, but landlords will get greater powers to evict anti-social tenants.

The point is, IF YOU RENT and do NOT OWN, it's not your home, will never be your home unless you buy, you are always subject the having to move
And it's not the home of a person with a Mortgage either because it is the Property of The Bank and can be repossessed at any time.
Sorry, your renting. That’s what comes with renting.
It’s true. Renting for 19yrs and didn’t think of once her own house. She will have to move from her area to a cheaper area But the Gaul she has surprises me
The housing situation in the UK is bad it's made worse by the government and over the reliance on renting due to lack of available housing
Not everyone wants nor needs to buy a property. We’re constantly told we should spend our lives trying to pay off a mortgage. Why? So bankers can cream off the interest and the government gets 40% when we die. I’ll take renting and the flexibility that comes with it any day thanks
@Iamwangdong you make an excellent point the whole system is broken. I'm sure you would agree. But renting only enriches the landlords and leaves you at their whims
At least owning a home it's yours . . . (Kinda)
@@leewilson3839 trust me I really resent that part but I came to this realisation during the last recession that were told our whole lives that the end game should be owning a house, when in reality we really don’t know where we’ll be in 25 years time. Why chase a constant target and live in misery when we can’t get to it or worry if we lose our jobs. Renting gives me the flexibility to change my life with just 30 days notice.
We need more social housing
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen Mortgage is a French word meaning Death Gauge. By the time you've paid it you're close to death.
They tried this in the sixties and landlords sold up and therefore no houses to rent.
After a decade of promising, dropping such a big law reform a year before an election stinks of desperation
The couple who rent the house for 19 yrs should not been surprised about moving out!It was inevitable at some point…If they wish to stay in a property forever then they need to buy their own place!
The bit gets me is how they cannot find anything else they can afford. No one in the news articles touches on the fact the landlord had been given them a below market rent deal for years! Too much bashing the landlord and not enough talk about how many of these landlords have been subsidising good tenants for years and now landlords have had enough. 😂
“Below market” just means that landlord is ripping them off less than other landlords.
@@martinhawes5647 Nothing is for free in this world!Nobody is forcing to rent-buy your own property and stop complaining about landlords!
@robertjones2053 . Too many entitled tenants. The law is far too biased in their favour. Get social housing if you want cheap permanent property & stop riding someone else's back!
Ridiculous.. its not your property if you're renting..
If anyone thinks this is going to encourage property development, you're mad.
If you want to sell YOUR HOME you should be allowed to regardless of worrying about tennants
then don't rent it out in the first place. I've been evicted twice in a year for these reasons, I have 3 kids and was recently widowed. it's people's lives that landlords muck around with. we need more housing that is owned by companies so this sort of thing doesn't happen

@@juliemills-yq7tvSurely you should get social housing. That will be the only choice soon, once private stock is sold up!
What a waste of money this bill is. It will make no practical difference to renters (because of exclusion clauses), and will probably push up rental prices.
It will put up rents.. And make private landlords very fussy.. Asking for impeccable references and wealthy guarantors... The private sector is not council housing. We need more council housing...
Will anyone want to be a landlord? Some people had properties as retirement investment, this completely closes the door for them. In a few years I can see this firing back badly with the cost of rent skyrocketing and availability dropping.
Good then free up the property for someone to buy

Actually you're wrong as these proposals have been made quite some time back, way before the local council elections
@left_blank why would you wish eviction on tenants? you get some sort of sadistic pleasure out of seeing that vision come true..?
@left_blank no one forces landlords to rent properties, they could sell and move in to a less exploitative business.
@@strangemagic5502 they float them publicly to get feedback. They can say anything and not do it.

the very example given is outrageous about the end of no fault evictions that a person can live in a place for 19 years the landlord wants to get rid of the tenant, now he wont be able to and has to 'justify' an eviction from his own property! ridiculous!!!
There should be a balance of rights.. Perhaps a month's notice for every year of occupancy?
This would only make the rental market worse
Watch this space
There are 650,000 empty properties in England alone right now.. Any "scarcity" is artificial, and is the consequence of property hoarding..
Of the 650K empty properties you're claiming for England, what percentage
1. Are affordable housing for low income earners
2. Are located in the areas low income earners are due to work and amenities demands?

They think that all these increasing rules,laws and regulations will just result in better rental home rights , how wrong they are, within the next 12 months finding a property to rent will be impossible. Those that I know who have rental properties are selling up ,that includes me.
Me too. I've had enough. Let them legislate to the handful that will be left after shafting the private sector out of tax. Enough!!
If you are a landlord, don't hold your breath where the courts are concerned. Not much will happen. Snails move quicker. Can only see less and less properties being for rent as a result of these reforms. Landlords will either sell up, or become very picky and rents will inevitably rise due to demand.
If the landlords sell up then house prices will come down, which is good news for people currently forced to rent.
Yes, but the failure to build enough Council housing means there is massive shortage for those who buying is not suitable and need to rent.. You don't seem concerned about them? There should first be more Council housing before reducing private supply. Long term, I want all poor people in council housing.. The private sector should be for those temporarily renting, students, ex pats, newly divorced separated ..or wealthy middle class who can easily pick and chose a property.. At the moment 25% of private rentals are benefit dependent.. That's wrong and caused by the government. Especially as the lazy government pays the same HB to a slum landlord as to a decent landlord who maintains their property.
Im sorry but it doesnt matter if youve been there 19 years at the end of the day you DONT own that house and you knew that when you started the lease and that it could be taking back at anytime. So entitled
Loved how they gave my landlord lots of advance warning so he could evict me first #feudalism
Yes and since this bill hit the news I know dozens of people who have been hit with a Section 21. A whole house of flats on my left, a whole terrace of houses on my right. I'm sure mine is in the post. Announcing this reform and then deferring it is criminally insane. People are now being evicted left right and centre for no good reason, just so landlords can avoid repairs, avoid taxes and hype up the rents by massive increments.
It's not landlords fault that the government hadn't built enough Council housing and now wants to give private tenants the same rights as social housing tenants.. Private housing isn't suitable for long term housing of the poor. Now, with people dependent on privates housing, the government is reducing supply. Even, if all section 21 was stopped tomorrow... There will be less new landlords and when a tenant dies leave.. The property will be sold. We had this after WW2 when similar controls were brought out.. The private rental market dissappeared. That was hidden by massive council house building...Such council housing being for ordinary people, not just, as now, for the very poor...
Government backing problems onto landlords, higher taxes, section 24, capital gains tax reduced, 1.6 million on council house waiting lists (50% increase since 2010), building targets removed from councils, 4500% interest rate rise in 16 months. Not building council houses.
This legislation has been talked about for years
I'll believe it when I see it
I am selling up, the tenants have too many rights, my tenant has been with me for 14 years and the government has caused this so the government can house here
No incentive for people to rent out their properties. So there will be a further shortage of available properties to rent.
Tenants needed better rights but this has not been thought through .
The incentive is they need or want the money! You’re talking like landlords exist only to give homes to people out of charity
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen This legislation will cause many people to sell rather than rent out.
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen the landlord demographic in this country is made up mostly by boomers who went through their whole life with low taxes and minimum regulations, plus most of them bought with very low price in the 90s, therfore are in a very good position to sell even if the market dips a little. for them, there is no incentive to be a LL anymore, compared to what they had before. the younger generation LLs are the more tolerant ones who still see incentive in this business, but they are out numbered by the selling boomers
This government is passing on the housing problems to the landlords. Not free economy, it will drive investors away further.
@@Sophie-kk3st As a 'Boomer' I can remember paying mortgage interest at an eye-watering 15%. We havn't "had it easy" the whole time at all. Don't exaggerate our position. In the early 70's inflation peaked at 26% hence, the staggering interest rates.
Unfortunately the laws of unintended consequences will now kick in. This will do nothing to stem the exit of landlords from the market. If anything it will accelerate it. Nor will it do anything to encourage investment in rental accommodation. Inevitably the shortages of rental property will cause further rent increases.
A landlord said exactly this on the radio this morning. He let's out a flat in West London and the current tenant has just moved out. The letting agent had 14 or more potential tenants and some were offering much more than the advertised rent. One was even offering 6 months rent in advance.
Correct…someone with common sense.
A lot of lack of education on the matter I see from a lot of commentators
You are smart. Also, most S21 evictions are not "no fault", they are used to evict tenants who are in rent arrears or anti social as it's much cheaper than S8 and the hassle of a court process. The govemrment creates a problem by the introduction of S24 back in 2017 which has slowly driven out landlords from the market. Then , after creating a problem, they try and solve it by scrapping S21 and introducing these reforms. Allthough, I think some of what is proposed is OK, this on the whole will drive more landlords out, increase demand, reduce supply and push up prices. When this happens, the goverment, probably Labour, will then bring in rent controls. That will see a mass exodus leaving tenants to fight for social housing. All from a problem they created themselves originally by taxing landlords on turnover instead of profit (S24). They really have no idea and this is all self inflicted. The losers in all this will be the tenants.

Many lanlords are selling up and many more will do if they end section 21 . The landlords who remain will put rents up to cover any risk and costs of taking a tenant to court . So the uk that already has unaffordable public transport , inflation will also have unaffordable rents and many people unable to rent at all . I have some savings and was thinking of buying a house here to rent out but have now decided to buy a holliday condo in thailand , guaranteed return and management run just less hassle .
Let's be clear. If a landlord owns a property outright and is charging the maximum market rent, they are definitely NOT short of the cash to take the tenant to court, pay their taxes and maiintain the property properly. The only kind of landlord that needs to increase their rents to cover decent conditions for their tenants are those who didn't give a sh*t about them in the first place, the kind that buy to let using borrowed money. In other words, people who take out massive loans with the intention of making other people pay them off. Crooks.

I knew a guy who worked in the UAE for two years. Now see I why renting out his house in his absence "wasn't worth the hassle".
What a waste. Houses are meant be lived in.
Someone who came to view this property as potential new landlord asked me if I intended to move.. Not likely in current climate. He agreed saying, he had put a place up recently and had 400 applicants. I moved here when rent was affordable.. but my god I would be homeless if I had to find a place I could afford on housing benefit now. Impossible. I agree, it's something, but nowhere near enough to solve the problems we are facing in this country. Trouble is.. people who are becoming landlords have no practical landlordy skills mostly.. they don't see it as a job, but a passive income. They won't roll up their sleeves and fix stuff.. just check their bank account..they have no idea how to be a landlord.. they just have property portfolios. And in no one's mind is the tenant the customer. We should stop pandering to these passive freeloaders....

The biggest problem in the UK that all these people gloss over is that too many homes are not owned, they are rented out by multiple property owners. A change in the tax laws should be made to make it less attractive to own and rent out multiple homes. There is a shortage of housing because individuals own too many properties. It is a useless industry that provides the UK with nothing to export. It only serves to make wealthier people richer and poor people poorer. Sadly the individuals in government that need to make change are the multiple property owners. The housing market in the UK is fox and rabbit affair and as we are seeing again a collapse has happened every 15 or so years because of this. It does not promote a stable strong economy.
Well the landlord has a right to want the house back ..
Be prepared to see thousands of landlords selling their properties leaving more renters that will have nowhere to rent and would not be able to afford to rent even if they found a property
@left_blank no
This is going to push a lot of landlords to sell up and the rent will go even higher as the price is decided by supply and demand. To be fair, being a landlord is not doing charity. Someone own the property he has the right to sell. Renting and living there for years does not give you the right to stay there forever.
No it won't. It is "developers" who snap up cheap properties in the first place, making it hard for first time buyers to get a foot in the door of owning and therefore trapping them in renting. It isn't the number of landlords that matter - it is the TYPE of landlord. Buy-to-let landlords are crooks who take out huge loans and then get other people to pay them off. It isn't a business, it is a RACKET.
Actually it already is. I know fair few landlords who are selling up amd have been for the past year or so
Good more houses for people who actually want to buy a place to LIVE
So if a landlord wants to sell up & move abroad, he can't?
This is only going to make landlords increase the rent.

Renters have rights but if you’re not paying your rent you should be able to be evicted IMMEDIATELY though. I know too many pi55 takers who get away with appalling abuse of rental protections and for small landlords it’s crippling - sometimes life ruining - getting rid of bad tenants. That shouldn’t be tolerated either.
Boo hoo 😢
Totally agree
You've never rented before have you.
I doubt that it is. There are plenty of bailiffs ready to get aggressive with anyone a landlord doesn't like.
Kicking people out if they don't pay their rent is justifiable, but in this case we are focussing on "good tenants" who are paying their rent and doing everything right, but yet they are being evicted - just because the landlord is being selfish, greedy and unreasonable. That is very bad and the most horrible thing to do to someone.
Under the new rules the landlord can get round them by saying he or his immediate family want to live in the property/or selling the property ! How easy is that ? Nothing has changed .
It's Section 21 incognito !
So you want private sector rentals to be like Council rentals? It's not the landlords fault that there has been a miserable failure to build enough Council housing to match a massive increase in population. Private property owners who (say) want to rent out there property to go abroad for a few years.. Should be allowed to do so.. Those who are in financial difficulties and want to temporary rent out while moving back with parents.. Should be allowed to do so.. Women in fear of ex partners should be allowed to temporarily rent out.. Its private property.. Larger landlords could have different rules.. But not small landlords..
You’ll see a bunch of landlords sell up or evict and move to short term rentals.
No one wants a short term rental, there’s no market for that. Why would they sell up? Landlords are dirty money grabbers, they won’t give up on their monthly income over this
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen
And tenants are entitled cheapskates.
Problem is that the more power the tenant has, the more likely there will be less places to rent.😊

Good, that will make mortgages easier to get. It's better if people more people own their homes.
You are quite right but it's all part of a lefty scheme to drive out private landlords and replace them with council funded places to rent. Rents will be much lower because you and I will subsidise them through big tax increases.

It is horrible what is going on these days with housing. And it is getting worse. A person's home is not just a mere property - it's where you live your life. And it is also the "one" place where you should be safe and secure. But when landlords can now just "evict" people on a whim, for nothing they have even done wrong, this is an absolute travesty. Though in "my" case it is more serious than this because they (my big corporate landlord) is risking my life and it seems like they are trying/attempting to "kill" me (long story) just so they could maximise their profits.

Section 8 will still stand and allow for this it will also make repossession through the courts quicker..

My point was there are not enough properties to rent either social hosing or private due to lack of actually building them and certainly not enough sheltered accommodation.

@@lemonlover6666 . I had really anti social tenants in one property. It was awful as I knew most everyone in the street as they had been my neighbours.

Eventually, I was able to get them out under Section 8 with Section 21 as a back up. The whole ordeal cost me a shade under £11k.
My landlord is connected with Government and may be trying to "kill" me in order to get my flat, to maximize their profits. And it's really creeping me out!!!
Now no landlord will want to rent their homes , meaning, less inventory for renters.
You can if you need the home for yourself - they say. I think it will create more problems with the abolition of Section 21, then you could get your property back when you wanted which gives confidence for renting. Now though, to evict someone with rent arrears, once, if you knew they weren’t going to pay, you could use Section 21 and once evicted, the local authority was obliged to help them. Now, the most probable route will be to evict using Section 8, rent arrears, which the local authority would deem as intentional homelessness and they would be under no obligation to help them. I don’t think Shelter thought that one through as it has made it likely there will be more homelessness.
The bill includes making it easier to evict tenants who fall into rent arrears
Who cares you need to protect people
Being unable to afford rent isn't intentionally homeless, this is nonsense
If the local authority were to deem it intentional homelessness, they'd be wrong, and these individual cases will all be taken to judicial review. The local authority have no business inviting that kind of pressure on courts. It won't happen pal.
Yip most stupid thing ever.
If landlords wants their tenants out it can still easily be done. Just wait until the end of their contract. Most rents are on yearly rolling contracts anyway. The Landlords and the tenants both have the option to not renew when that period ends.
That is what is ending.. A landlord will not be able to rant a fixed term contract.. Its a tenancy for life.. Scary for sma landlords if the tenant is a nightmare not crafty.. Eg damaging the property and then claimimg the landlord won't repair. The first year, at least, of new tenancies should be probationary before becoming a tenancy for life.. Otherwise, impeccable references, large up front rent payments and wealthy guarantors are going to become normal for those landlords who don't sell up.
I been in my house since 2007, they keep putting rent up every 6 months, its pure greed. They need to cap the rents like the 80s I've said that all along.
If you don’t want to be evicted buy your own property . Biggest downside of renting is the fact you get rent increase every time you negotiate your new contract .Or you can leave is simple .
They are my properties (5)……I shall sell up, trouser the money and the council can rehouse my tenants. I’m a businessman here to make a profit and not a provider of social housing. I will not be dictated to.

@@someguy255 I’ve been a landlord for 25 years; I bought all my properties with cash. They have all appreciated (London). I force no one to rent from me; I can pick and choose. It’s a great income. You’re obviously very envious. You should try working for a living.
The problem is when someone lives in a place for years it becomes a part of them. The government should make it easier to buy. An incentive.
Landlords and their agents will become more and more selective, expect renting to become harder not easier anyway this is years away and still must get through Parliament, a lot of Politicians are landlords so don't count your chickens renters your life just got more difficult not easier!!

Feelings vs facts...
I know 2 families getting kicked out due to this new law as landlordsfear they'llneverbe able to get their property back. Shambles.
I wonder if this will include boat moorings? I doubt it, we tend to get left off most things, even things like the so called 'help' towards heating / power costs that 'house dwellers' got / get, so living on the canal system, that we have to pay to do do, like council tax, we don't get the same kind of help........

Want to fix the housing crisis?
Build new council homes, introduce rent caps and end the scourge of empty homes.
We need housing for public good, not private profit.
what a nightmare for landlords. The govt is making it impossible to get rid of bad tenants or sell properties if you want to get out.

@@Dryhten1801 show me a business that can survive for very long without a profit. The govt is only making slum lords because they can’t afford to keep up the properties
I was loving hearing all the crybaby landlords on the radio today. Especially one who owned 20 properties and says it’s unfair because he can’t just decide to sell one of his properties when the market fluctuates. WAGH WAGH WAGH
😂😂😂ikr
haha yeah on radio 2
The person that owns a property should be able to sell that property whenever they want END OF STORY

@@Phil-bc2sd They can sell the property with the tenant in it. That has always been the option. But many know it reduces the price of the property, if there is a tenant. That is why landlords always do remove the tenant prior the sale.
We need a Rent Review too based on Local Housing Rate.
Where I live the local housing rate is for a 3bed £840 but Ive been asked to Pay £1150.
Well find something else. Mortgage rates have increased 4 fold. Where are the complaints about people losing homes because of the sharp hike in interest rates?
Rent benefit must be capped.
One can't have poor people renting luxery flats.. That leaves less money for others to receive benefits.. But, yes, rent benefit needs to be paid at a realistic rate. .. But longterm, private rentals are not suitable for the poor.. We need more council housing..
😂😂because of interstate rate so high land lord s loosing their money that s why they selling houses,they can pay you in their pocket, and some tenants simply destroying their property
Bad news for tenants who will possibly be issued with Section 21 Eviction Notices in the run up to this ban by Landlords
Why? Will the landlords decide they suddenly don’t want their mortgage paid off or they don’t need the income anymore?
@I am Wang Dong They can sell the property and use the money to pay off their own mortgage or buy other investments like the stock market
Tbh in the UK only the financially illiterate buy investment properties since 2016 the taxes were increased on buy to lets and the rental stock has fallen and will probably continue to slowly fall over the next 10-20 years as people realise investing in a pension or ISA is zero tax vs highly taxed rental properties
@@kaya051285and why would they do that when they’re making far greater financial gain through renting properties out?
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen Because they want tenants out before the changes!
@@Mike_5and what leave their properties empty until the mortgage is paid off?
One of the biggest problems is the disparity between rental prices and Local Housing Allowance. Tenants on a fixed income, such as pensioners, rely heavily on LHA to pay a significant proportion of rent. Another problem for tenants is how letting agents/landlords calculate affordability which is currently annual income = 30 times monthly rent. This needs to change and to include LHA (housing benefit). Under these new reforms Landlords can simply evict by upping the rent so there needs to be an annual cap on rental increases.
Local authority housing rates are far too low
But landlords don’t like letting to benefits people….reason? Because some “genius” decided it was a good idea to pay the housing allowance direct to the tenant instead of the landlord= th tenants just spend the money and don’t pay
I know many landlords who got out
It just gave there properties to serco who house immigrants and asylum seekers
Why do renters so bitter and resentful towards landlords. They are just cogs in the landlords machine and easily replaced
The benefits and pets part is the biggest issue. I've had benefits tenants in the past and they are a nightmare in terms of rental payments, and some people keep pets which completely affect your ability to keep the place fresh, especially some cats which don't get let out.
I'm no longer renting any property now on AS5's, they are all short term now. If that gets interfered with i will sell up and stick to commercial.
You receive a deposit which is here to pay for any damage so the pet excuse is rubbish. People on benefits are now with universal credit so the rent is coming in faster than with the housing benefits and there is less issues on paying on time. People on benefits are not evils contrary to what you pretend. They are just normal people and they can pay their rent.
I didn't say benefit tenants were evil. But the fact is they don't always pass you the rent and I'm speaking from personal experience. These bonds are not enough to replace carpets and underlay throughout an entire property, or chewed skirting boards, scratched and sprayed plaster. It costs thousands of pounds to redecorate following a messy pet. Again speaking from personal experience. I have have not allowed pets, smokers or DSS for over 10 years from negative experiences.
@@oeilgris Sometimes the deposit cannot pay for the damages some tenant cause.
There are a lot of decent landlords. Tenants also behave badly. If the government was building new affordable housing we wouldn’t be having this conversation. The fact is the government NEVER TAKE OR ACCEPT ACCOUNTABILITY.
It's not about building affordable homes... It's the mere fact that demand is 150% higher than the supply available.
@@originalunoriginal4055 Yes it is because no party has been building any for decades.
Why would you want government built homes?
Thatcher gave council tenants the right to buy and did not replace the stock or build on it.
@@MichaelPortilloHomunculi Yes but the money comes from central government!!!
Despite of the reforms being taking place in due time, landlords are seeking recourse through a more robust and effective court process on dealing with repossession, which could render them effectively circumventing the new reforms to exploit tenants in different means. In light of this, the courts must balance the rights and needs between the landlords and tenants.
The outcome of this bill would overrule any court ruling
a lot of things these days are balancing exercises aren't they
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen Theoretically but not quite likely, the court could rule the new reform unconstitutional if it contravened other British laws. What we really should concern that the Parliament could amend or repeal it as long as it sees fit due to the parliamentary sovereignty principle.
@@hermanjacobs4425 most politicians in the Commons and house of Lords are Landlords!
Being a landlord is a very poor business
Look at the figures
It doesn’t stack up
More rentable properties is the problem, not landlord evicting tenants for no reason at all. Consecutive Govts have just glossed over the issue because theyre don't want to deal with the issue
Rents will only shoot up further for private rentals now because of the forced upon additional admin and paperwork involved. It's not about complying and law-abiding landlords with nothing to hide just going along with it, it's extra time, work and hassle involved and that means some will exit the market. This just worsens the situation for renters as our current supply of homes continues to dwindle. I agree there are some nasty and greedy landlords out there that should not be using no-fault evictions unreasonably if the tenant hasn't done anything wrong but problematic tenants also exist and should never be ignored - we've all heard stories about nightmare tenants not looking after the place and leaving it in a disgusting living state.
Apparently they say 50000 section 21 s have been used
But there well over 4 million rentals
British private rental market is severely anti-tenant, even more so than the US. Lords and serfs.
Yeah cheers. Off the back of this news I duly got a no fault eviction notice. Any advice appreciated.
Good luck to tenants in GB. Your choices will be fewer and far more expensive.
So, what happens to the landlords then? Do they have to keep on without any increase in rentals, if the tenants don't wish to pay the rental increase or move out, after a reasonable notice period?
Every AST I have ever signed has had a clause stating a right to increase rents on an annual basis. If you haven’t included that as a landlord you’re a moron. You don’t just evict people because you want more money, that attitude is exactly what this bill is about , try talking to your tenants first.
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen Yes, that's how usually contracts are done. I hope those contracts arw still valid under the new rules. Having a fair chance for the owners to keep up with the increasing interest rates and expenses, and a fair notice to tenants about upcoming raise in renrals.
Better not be the only rent reforms we get this generation or we’re screwed
You've had 19 years to buy your own place. I don't know why renters feel like they own the place. How could they afford to stay there for 19 years? I never let any of my renters stay for more than 2 years without raising the rent. After 19 years their rent would be so high that I don't know how they could afford to stay.
Er the rent has gone up evey year. Some people are never in a postion to get a mortgage you make so many daft assumptions. The point is not to blame my landlord but to blame the lack of affordable rental propertie sor social housing. Many many people will enver be in a positon to own their own home. Surely they are netitled to some security?
@@anyadarr2448 they should be provided government housing.
@@targetedplantsguy9481
But they're probably not eligible for it. And if they are, they have to wait XX years.
Is this blue meat? The Tories must be terrified if they're putting this bill through. In essence it does very little as a landlord can use pretty much any excuse to evict as long as there is an excuse, apposed to none at all. But backbenchers and Tory MP landlords won't like this. Will be interesting to see if it passes into the lords and if it's put under whip or not.
As of today (24/10/23) the prposed reform on no fault eviction has been postponed indefinitely
It's a little late for a lot of us !
My landlord want me to leave because he rebuilding property and loft conversion. I pay my rent on time etc but can’t anywhere else to rent is landlord can evict me or not ?
If a house has got mold or it is unsafe, why tenants insist to stay? It's a joke really.
Decent Home Standards is a good idea.
Sadly, a lot of tenants can turn a decent home into a slum.
This squeeze on landlords shows a clear failure on the government to build houses and burdened landlords and taken control over their properties.
I think that’s the aim, no wonder landlords are becoming a rare breed.
Everlast
Oh, I'm really crying for them! My heart is grieving.......... Not!!! 😀😂😝
@@bigcityjunglecatenvisageth1422 very poor attitude
You believe landlords are all rich
Not true
You hate them because you think they are rich and taking your money
Not true
The fact is they sell up and leave the market and they invest in something else….your wasting your time hating on them.
Then when they leave there is less rentals available for people….more homelessness and higher rents
Do you not understand this?
And NO ONE will enter the market…why would they and deal with people like you?
this came up five years ago and nothing happened what's the bet this will take another five years for a watered down version!!
great
Don't be a Landlord in England.
These people should be grateful that they were allowed to rent this property for 19 years. The fact that they cant find another place in their price range and that they were there for so long shows the landlord was reasonable with them. Being a landlord is headache. Tenants always think you owe them something.
@@MichaelPortilloHomunculi what is your address? We are all coming round for the free accommodation.
I'm sure the boomer landlord was enjoying their money for 19 years though until the boomer decided give it back like they stole it.
Them Tennants kept their end of the deal by paying rent, they wernt anti social or anything else like that.
They were happy and content their with the memories created and as I'm human I can relate to them as it becomes your home where you feel safe.
But if they were wasting money on purpose and not paying rent because of there own stupidly then evict them
@@papichuckle I'm sure that makes sense in your head 👍🏻
@@Trav-eller ok boomer
@papichuckle7559 Not me mate.
If you were thinking of temporarily renting your home out for example you are moving to live in another country for 12 months as my cousin just did it would be madness to rent it out just leave it empty as its too much of a risk and you will also be taxed 40% and be taxed on the deemed capital gain for that period even if there was no capital gain
Or just not move and stay in your house instead of occupying two properties in the world.
@@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen It's not always possible especially for work mobility sometimes you have to move and other times it makes financial sense both for the individual and society
You could, and this is just a thought, sell your property if you're intending to leave the country so that housing supply is returned to the market. Then, if you do return to the country (which isn't a guarantee things often change) you can look to buy a new property at that time.
That's how normal people in that situation go about things.
I'm pretty sure it is better to have tax 40% on £10000, than zero for the year? Not to mention, many are good people. Plan ahead and do take care when choosing.
PS: property being empty for a year is not great for the property as well, especially over the winter months
@TJ Marx You have clearly never bought or sold a property. If my cousin did that he would have to pay in the region of £50,000 in Estate agent fees and stamp duty taxes not to mention the time and stress of having to find somewhere again in his return
He will very likely return in 2-3 years it makes no sense whatsoever to pay the 50k in transaction costs to sell and buy back an almost identical home
I find it hard to believe that this Tory Bill does not have an “angle”. After 13 years in office , why now ?
Because they are desperate to keep control. The only reason why they haven't been booted out already is because the opposition is so weak that priti Patel genuinely causes a greater conservative threat than Kier starmer or any other party.
We need to get someone else to take over,but Labour is NOT the answer.
When you are presented with two equally bad options, pick option 3. (Lib Dems) or don’t vote at all.
FINALLY!!!!
Jeepers most wont get to rent the standard will be higher now, and if you don't pay it's YOUR FAULT NOW so forget getting rehoused by the LA or HA
About time!
This isn’t good for the owner as they can’t capitalise on growth. So owning property is no longer a way for the every day person to gain wealth.
The economy is falling because the rich are not paying enough taxes whilst reaping all the profits of our money. This is why life has become unaffordable.
