The "real" problem was some complete chunt changing our gold for Euros. Can't think who that was - can somebody remind me? Oh, wait, doesn't matter. I remember. It was Gordon Brown.Within the Labour party, the mood is bleak. “We are sleepwalking to losing the damn thing,” lamented one senior source. One frontbencher returned from canvassing and announced to his office: “It’s just like the general election. The polls say it’ll be fine but every doorstep someone tells you to f*** off.”Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostUnfortunately councils aren't allowed to go to the courts and get someone banned from being a landlord.
They can only get them fined so it's a waste of money especially as the fines aren't that big. If the fines were big enough so properties could be seized these issues would happen less frequently.
The inspections could cost say £120 a time and you would get a pass/fail + advisories. Reinspection within 7 days = £40 after that full fee. Failure to clear advisories in 3 months = 3 points. Fails = putting tenant up in hotel & getting it fixed. Intentional fails (no safety inspections or seriously poor repair) = 6 points.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Tenants were typically low-paid migrant workers or students, or trafficked foreign nationals put to work in the “hidden” economies of drugs or prostitution, he said.
“What I put it down to is London rents are so off the scale that people will live anywhere just to be able to afford to stay here. They might typically pay rent of just £200 a month. But the fact there are 15 of them in the house means the landlord is coining it.
“Last year we prosecuted a landlord who had 47 people in a property meant to house nine.”Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
