Good,

It's time the government punished greedy landlords.

Amazing how many woke lefties are landlords.

Some information :

Stronger protections and greater confidence for renters

All landlords must sign up to new, simple ‘Register your rental property’ service as it rolls out across the country.

Private renters will benefit from stronger protections, greater transparency and more confidence in the homes they rent under the next phase of the government’s Renters’ Rights Act reforms. 

Through a new national landlord registration service and a clearer route to challenge rent increases in England, renters will be able to make more informed choices about where they live and resolve disputes with their landlord more efficiently. 

Gradually rolling out region by region from December, the new registration service will give councils access to information to help them spot rogue landlords and take quicker action.  

In the future, prospective landlords will also need to register, and tenants will be able to see whether their landlord or prospective landlord has signed up – giving renters more confidence that a landlord is genuine and following the rules.  

This will create a fairer market for landlords, helping good ones demonstrate their strong standards, while stopping rogue ones from undercutting them. 

In addition, HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) Valuation Office will become responsible for decisions on challenges to rent increases in England, helping people resolve rent disputes more quickly.  While the government develops these reforms, renters who want to challenge a rent increase must still apply to the First-tier Tribunal. If they do, they will not have to pay the higher rent until the Tribunal has made its final decision.

Part of the drive to extinguish the middle class:

Force homeowners to sell to BlackRock so they can 'Own Nothing" (/rent back) and

accept perma-serdom

I think landlords can stretch to £65/year.

I like the idea of The Villages in Florida--you could do the same thing in the UK.

Unlimited supply basic homes all connected by golf cart paths to shopping, restaurants, golf, swimming and community centers. Apparently they put different color loofas on their golf carts to indicate their swinging preferences.

Maybe not if the tenants stop paying rent and, due to Sec.21 there is no mechanism for evicting them within 6 monts.

No mechanism to evict?.......I've just evicted four tenants for non-payment of rent......Section 21, bailiffs eviction, bailiffs forced eviction......CCJ's issued, High Court bailiffs instructed..............job done.

How long did that take ?

"Greedy Landlords" are you having a laugh, I rent mine out for approx 66% of the market rate & the net rental yield is 2-3% after fees & expenses (Much less this year as I've just spent £4,250 refitting the ensuite bathroom) & then you have to pay 22% tax on that.

Better to sell the thing, stick the money in an MMF yielding over 4% PA Tax Free (Disregarded Income for UK SA Return) But I don't because I like my tenants & they'd need to pay 50% more if I sold or jacked the rent up to the market rate.

Not all landlords are greedy barstewards & UK government(s) are forcing out the small/accidental landlord so big corporates can buy up the houses & you can guarantee that they wouldn't have refitted the ensuite or charged below market rates for rent.

Especially as lease agreements no longer exist so no need to pay £95 (to my agent) to renew.

You can evict for non-payment of rent under a Section 8. Ground 8 if they owe more than 3 months rent, Ground 10 if they owe any rent & Ground 11 if they are consistently late in paying rent whether they owe anything or not.

You can also use a Section 8 if you (or your family members) wanted to move into the house (Ground 1), or sell it (Ground 1A), Tenants need to have lived there for at least 12 months & you need to give 4 months notice, the house cannot be rented out again for a minimum or 12 months should your plans change.

Sorry but are you referring to an AST for your tenants or some sort of commercial lease?

AST, these no longer exist so Tenants are on a rolling month-by-month and can give 2 months notice to leave at anytime after the 1st 12 months...

More detail here including the regions and timing for registration and the information they will be requiring - quite a lot.......

https://housinghub.campaign.gov.uk/renting-is-changing/get-ready-to-register/

and

You’ll need a GOV.UK One Login to use the service.

Which is I believe different to the Government Gateway which I am guessing many of us use........and requires new verification

I'm more than happy not to.......but Michael Gove set all this up and we are stuck with it.

That's extremely quick, it usually takes 1 or 2 years for an eviction

Yes.....I think I was lucky.

The bottle neck tends to be the court bailiffs enforcing the forced eviction, but I got a date pretty quickly......plus the tenants didn't contest anything.

I've been doing this in Scotland for a few years so this change is England, not UK.

A total waste of money, no benefit to me, all these additional costs just put rent up
