This is good news. There is a housing shortage and having somewhere to live is a basic need of everybody in the country. Why should the housing market continue to be used as easy investment for the better off?
Bullshit headline. Time for no-fault evictions increased to 12 months.
These changes are for Wales only as housing is dealt with by the Welsh Government.
In summary:
* Renters have to be given six months notice before they can be ‘no-fault’ evicted.
* It’s no longer be possible for landlords to issue a ‘no-fault’ notice in the first six months of a tenancy.
So anyone who signs a tenancy agreement from today onwards can’t be ‘no-fault’ evicted until 1st Dec 2023.
So landlords will ask for 12 months upfront?
I’m a landlord in England. I’ve never rented to private sector only students and recently to immigrants waiting asylum claims.
I don’t see anything wrong with this at all.
How it’s not mandatory to fit monoxide and smoke alarms already is a scandal.
Edited I should have added to every room.
Guess who will now need to pay 12 months of rent to secure a tenancy?
So long as it’s only no-fault evictions, and people can still get the boot for being terrible tenants. A friend of mine eventually sold the flat he owned because the council put a neverending parade of arseholes above him – each one only lasted a few months, but the next person would be as bad, because our town is a bit of a dumping ground for one of the nearby cities. The one time he had a decent upstairs neighbour, the poor man kicked the bucket and it was back to square one.
These laws are an utter nightmare.
I live in a building where a tenant is setting shit on fire and evacuating the smoke into communal stairwells, dumping mattresses and stuff in the front and rear gardens, and there’s 6-7 people living in a 2 bedroom flat.
The landlord says he’s desperate to evict them but in Scotland the new tenancy laws and eviction bans make this almost impossible.
Obviously nothing will go wrong with this ruling. Not like rental properties will disappear or anything like that.
