Homeless homeowner

No and neither are landlords, it is just restricted in RPZ. Just to be clear, I am not saying it is exactly the same as employment, it is just used as a counter to the landlords whinging that nobody else ever has the rules changed mid agreement. It happens all the time.

Also, I am not against landlords, I have my own house and haven't rented for more than 10 years. If the conditions were more favourable I might even get involved myself. But here is the thing, the rules have been changing for several years to favour insitutional landlords who are more professional. They can deal with the risk of non paying tenants. They can deal with the changes in rules. I think this will eventually lead to a better and more stable rental market. They will probably even be so professional that they will get an actual solicitor to write a valid termination letter.

It came in overnight. Saying it is being considered is not a discussion with the providers. Have you any other examples of such rushed legislation or not? What other industries have had such poor behaviour by the government?

There is a regulation change meaning your salary will no be garnished for a forced pension scheme. It is a legal change that will effect every worker without discussion .

HerrKeuhn made the same flawed point, see my earlier reply, your point was been countered so many times on Boards.

Anecdotal evidence shows that everything you posted there is incorrect. Short term supply is exiting the market.

Anytime a property now becomes vacant atge owner has now to ask themselves the question. Will I need this property for my own use or want it vacant at any time in the next five year. If the answer is yes then as an owner you would be crazy to rent the property.

Over the last eighteen months legislation has changed the outlook of property owners. Take the scenario on this thread will any home owner now going abroad for the short, medium or long-term consider renting there house or apartment. The simple answer is ''NO''.

You can add property where owners are in nursing homes, elderly owners living with there children, people who go to mind elderly relatives, we have an increasing house vacancy rate.

It will be interesting to watch the most recent change to short term letting. Will it return even 50% of the 12k units that it is supposed to free up.

No small LL are not incredibly wealthy, they may be well off but generally they are just ordinary Joe Soaps. Many inherit a second property, got caught by negative equity or purchased an investment property as part of there retirement planning.

Smaller LL ( and the RTB have indictated this) are more likely not to have properties at the highest market rents, they find the RTB process cumbersome and hard to navigate.

Now these LL's when a property became vacant must make a decision do I relet it or not. For many they may have had plans to move back to this property when they retired or were keeping the property for a child. These LL are very unlikely to sell the property. The proposed vacancy tax will be impossible to enforce on exLL's who only own a second property or owners of second properties in general.

Occupancy of properties reduce when they move from rental to owner occupied.

Its so easy - you should become a Landlord and join the gravy train

You are very mixed up on what actually happens.

Firstly in the RPZ landlords will not buy a previously rented property as they are forced to rent out at the same rate as the previous landlord. However if the buy a house that was not rented they can rent at market rate. So previous rental are being taken out of the rental market.

Occupancy rates in rental property is higher than owner occupied. So a house rented to 4 adults like a 3 bed semi goes down to 2 people.

Now the the people renting could be lucky and get the place the 2 owners had but that still leaves 2 people looking to rent but there is one less rental on the market.

Adding to that the people buying the place are better paid as shown by the fact they can buy so it turns out that none of the residents could afford the rent left by the new owners so have no where they can afford to live near by.

The thing is the landlords leaving aren't being replaced so while they aren't taking the property with them they are removed from the rental market and less people are housed.

You seem to think because somebody gets rid of one investment they are too wealthy. You know people cash in investments to pay off debts all the time and why do you want to take their money anyway. It is probably fair to say most landlords pay way more tax than you have or will.

Out of curosity how many domestic violence situation have you had to deal with in work? Drug addicts? Dead bodies? Assaults?

That is part of being a landlord which apparently isn't work along with all the maintenance and paper work. If you have some magic way of getting tradesmen to appear on time and fix an issue first time every time let me know.

I see you are so enlightened about people. You should really read the forum more and you would see what tenants want landlords involved in. I must rememeber people who die are scumbags and I am a slumlord for renting to a person because they have the potential to die.

I also doubt you are a person who has never got into a physical altercation with somebody you felt did you wrong.

Must remember only people living in slum conditions are capable of domestic abuse. Never heard of any well off people living in nice accommodation having domestic abuse situations.

I take it you don't deal with people much

They aren't sob stories but a question to you. How many of such things have you dealt with was the question?

You made the claim being a landlord is no work. Are you saying dealing with those things is no work?

You don't like to back up your claims and like to insult people. Every landlord does more to prevent people being homeless than anything you do unless you are going to suddenly tell us what you are actually doing about it. You can stay in your little bubble of rage about landlords all you like but I would bet you have done nothing about it.

Are you going to answer question or just insult?

You can't answer any questions it appear. The thread is about a homeless women but you can keep twisting yourself in knots about things you know nothing about and do nothing about.

Mine apparently. Only a certain class of people die seems to be what he is saying

Child.

What law did she fail to adhere to?
