Grampa Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Tenants in Yorkshire have taken to using dental syringes to inject liquid Ecstasy directly into their mouths.This dangerous process is known as 'E by gum' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melboy Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think what the OP is advertising is a good idea. Anything that can possibly raise standards of the Landlord/Tenant/Property business has to be good but as we all know it is the mindless minority who do not attend events such as this that ruin it for the majority.

Richlist Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yes Melboy i would tend to agree.There is a mindset amongst some of the general public that letting property is carried out by greedy, money grabbing capitalists who just want to take as much as they can from poor unsuspecting tenants who cannot afford to buy at today's inflated prices. .......I discovered yesterday that many of these people are Labour party supporters. On LBC radio yesterday we had someone complaining that the police were using to much of their time and resource helping to evict tenants instead of dealing with 'real' crime!!!!Because so many people are doing it they think it must be easy, requires no knowledge or skills and if others can do it then so can they. That's why we get quite a few problems posted on forums such as these.I suspect we have already reached the status quo and that the situation will unlikely ever improve much beyond the current level.God help us all if Labour get anywhere near to winning the next election.I remember back in the 1970's.......I had just spent 3 years saving hard for the deposit on my first house and we had just moved in. We had the Tory party knocking on the door talking about their 'right to buy' plan for council houses as part of their general electioneering. I was totally opposed to it. I didn't like the idea of me having to struggle for 3 years to buy and someone else being given a massive discount. That Tory plan has backfired big time as now there aren't enough local authority houses available and what's left is the private rented sector......thats you and me.

You wait until about this time next year when all the landlords (and some agents) who havent complied with the changes in housing law coming in next week start getting into trouble and we will see a huge increase of evictions being struck out by the courts due errors in the tenancy being set up at the start. We might see an increase in forum traffic then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I think you may be right.My lettings agent surprised me by being very on top of all the changes but I guess that for every one that is on top of it there is at least another who isn't.

Melboy Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I think the one thing that we can all agree on is that the paperwork is piling up now into a mountain of compliance orders.I think I am right in saying when I first started with my very first rental tenancy it was just a straightforward AST signed by Landlord and Tenant.

Richlist Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 But surely it's a good thing ?It's very easy to assume that tenants won't read some of the docs we have to provide but some of them will.It's going to be a big help for those tenants who previously didn't get a gas safety cert or an epc or a carbon monoxide alarm or a working smoke alarm or their deposit protected or the prescribed deposit information or their landlord contact details etc etc.The world isn't just about us landlords, it's also about the people we provide accommodation for, our customers. Whilst what we are required to provide continues to be positive and doesn't unduly burden us I'm very happy for the gov to continue to expand requirements. I have someone moving in this Saturday so have needed to comply with all of the old and new requirements. It certainly hasnt been difficult or time consuming.

Grampa Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 But surely it's a good thing ? Yes I think it is, plus it has the bonus of making it harder for landlords to self manage and have to use a agent which is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Immigration checks are likely to lead to the use by landlords (and agents) of specialised firms who will carry out the checks on applicants. Maybe the firms who carry out referencing, perhaps even the RGI providers will offer immigration checks as part of their package.The bottom line is that specialisation is likely to be more prevalent in the future. We already have it for......EPC's, Inventories, RGI & referencing, gas safety, deposit protection, debt & court action etcHow long will it be before someone brings all or most of that together under one roof to offer a one stop shop ? Agents kind of do that already but in quite a disjointed fashion using mainly 3rd party contacts.Renting and letting business administration has a lot of potential to grow in the future as legislation covers more specialised aspects of the business.
