    Tenant discrimination has been going on for years.
    NO DSS,
    No pets,
    Professionals only.
    "Affordability tests"
    And the lovely Fergus Wilson "No coloureds, because of the smell of curry"
    Personally I would go for No Spurs supporters, but thats just me!
    Hardly discrimination. There are obvious reasons for these.

    + no smokers, drug addicts etc.

    No DSS is because you are unlikely to get the rent paid, they will give a tenant with addiction issues or no money the rent payment direct. The landlord won't see it. 6-12 months later they are evicted for not paying rent.

    During the roll out of Universal credit many tenants with issues were on payment to Landlord, UC reset it to direct to tenant that one change resulted in many tenants being evicted for non payment of rent. Also Councils & similar randomly withhold payment for months without sanction.

    Affordability test - sorry you need to pay rent that is sort of the deal.

    Professionals only - their employment history is less patchy normally. You get your rent paid.

    Add that many sub cultures with difficult personal relationships may mean you will be assaulted by their violent boyfriend.

    No pets - you get doors gnawed and wood scratched. If you are lucky they actually make them poo & piss outside, the fellow tenants are kept awake by barking all the time. The neighbour who feeds the birds will have a trail of corpses by their patio door. How will a new tenant with a cat/dog allergy be able to live in the house afterwards?

    I suspect your work have 'no smelly food' restrictions in the rest room. Its put in a discriminatory way by Mr Wilson.However if you have ever smelt a room imbued with the scent of years of African goat or fish curry, rotten rice, other variants of curry or some of the more exotic food choices tenants cook whilst sealing the room and turning up the heating then you need to replace most of the furnishings and repaint. Its frequently worse than smoking.

    If the tenant using your service costs you more than a non smoking, celibate, pet, pacifist free dentist why would you take them over the ideal?

    Landlords rent housing as a business, the government & tenants want to see it as branch of social services. If it continues all those BTLs will be sold off at top dollar and no one will be able to rent except from large or corrupt organisations. How do you like them apples?

          14 years of “tens of thousands”, promising to fix it and they never did or even tried. No one is forcing the government to issue visas, you don’t even need legislation to regulate work or student visas, it’s entirely within the government’s gift.

          One single example - Cameron stopped the heavily abused graduate visas which was a great move, following Tory governments brought it back and kept it running. You can keep blaming Liebour/Bliar, civil servants, etc. I’ll blame the ones in power who’ve been promising for 14 years to do one thing while delivering the exact opposite - record levels of mass permanent non-EU immigration.
          I don't have an issue with you or anyone else having a different opinion on the subject at all. It's just a shame it's not based in reality.

            Unfortunately, you're stuck in the past, like those who continue to blame Thatcher for all of our problems.

            If the Tories wanted to do something, they had plenty of opportunity to do so. To his credit, Cameron even took a few actions that stemmed the flow of non-EU immigrants but unfortunately all of that was undone by following governments which deliberately chose to open the floodgates even though Brexit handed them full control of legal immigration, a luxury that Cameron didn't have.
            ​​
            They deserve to be punished for that, and hopefully Sunak will lose the coming election, feck off back to California and the Tories will adopt a policy that doesn't involve unsustainably high immigration levels.

              OK, I understand where you are coming from. We will have to disagree.

              My only fear is that your preferred cure will be worse than the current disease - -unless you can show me any substance to Starmer's proposals for immigration (and a lot of other key issues).

                All that comes later. First and foremost the Tories need to be punished, and punished severely for their abysmal record on immigration.

                Like Sadiq Khan & ULEZ, if Sunak gets re-elected, then that’ll be spun as validation of the record levels of immigration (let alone all the other tulip they’ve done) that they have actively enabled in recent years, and that must not happen.

                  Its been on an uptick for decades, remember Mandelslime sending out scouts! Of course we should've refused the people from Hong Kong and Ukraine we don't want their sort round here we just want Jihadis.

                    Like I said, your cure will be worse than the disease. We're going to get a useless, prevaricating coward of a PM because people are bored of the Tories regardless f how well or badly they are delivering (and obviously it's more bad than good right now).

                    The best result would be a minority Labour government, it's the only way to address the key issues effectively Won't happen though...

                      And ‘care worker’ visas, ‘student’ visas, their dependent visas, and it’s going to get worse as emigration levels continue to drop as the vast majority of the record levels of recent non-EU immigrants are not going to go back.
