I really think that the rental market needs to be nationalised.
The problem is I don’t know that national, or local government would be any better.
And yet landlords wonder why there hated. Fucking parasite’s that’s why.
Hmm, sounds like we need more privatisation and less regulation. On an unrelated note, everyone looking forward to more energy price rises this year? Boy, I sure do love liberalism and capitalism!
The wild west is tenants who can get away with not paying rent for months/years after signing a contract
Crime and Court 2013.
> Impersonation of designated officer etc
23(1)A person commits an offence if, with intent to deceive—
(a)the person impersonates a designated officer,
(b)the person makes any statement or does any act calculated falsely to suggest that the person is a designated officer, or
(c)the person makes any statement or does any act calculated falsely to suggest that the person has powers as a designated officer that exceed the powers the person actually has.
(2)A person guilty of an offence under this paragraph is liable on summary conviction to either or both of the following—
(a)imprisonment for a term not exceeding—
(i)51 weeks on conviction in England and Wales;
(ii)12 months on conviction in Scotland;
(iii)6 months on conviction in Northern Ireland;
(b)a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.
I’m confused.
– Tenant, wilfully, enters in to an agreement with a landlord.
– Tenant agrees to pay £x for x time in the property
– Tenant stops paying
– Landlord is unable to remove tenant, through legal means, for months or even years.
– Landlord finds a non violent means of evicting the non paying tenants
– People have a problem with this?
A few landlord bad stories and defacto, all landlords are scum. Well, that’s not true, even if it burst the eco chamber. A more pragmatic approach would be rental values are set by local authority based a set metric or evaluating visit. That in mind, would appease or at least, meet all sides in the middle
Almost like renting should be locally controlled. Weird
Our landlord as a student was a prick and thought the mould was caused by us not using the heating so I paid to keep it on for 6-8hrs a day for months rather then 2-3 and nothing changed, if anything mould began to grow on bits of carpet instead so I went looking in the loft which he likely never checked inside as he owned a dozen houses and we found old vinyl players from the 60s to 70s that we sold, good times.
