Our fave BTL baron

Let me see if I’ve got this straight:
- person (female) is a good tenant, but happens to have a baby
- boiler goes. No hot water.
- landlord can’t find a plumber within four (!) days (unlikely - all major landlords I know have their own team of on-call specialists, he wouldn’t be searching Checkatrade each time)
- cockwomble landlord and CUK think that that’s okay and it’s perfectly reasonable to then toss her and the baby out for being too much trouble.

FFS, it’s not about right or left, snowflakes or boomers, it’s about doing the right thing for a human ******* being.

good to see you are keeping your finger on the pulse.

not sure where you got the CUK post that said they should be thrown out?

The council changed their conditions to and fine those that couldn't meet them.

Landlords who miss targets face being fined by the council for breaching tenancy agreements if they don't stuck to rules in its 'emergency maintenance policy', which state that homes with newborns should have boilers and heating fixed 'within four days'.

Earlier this month Ashford Borough Council announced that rogue landlords faced fines of up to £30,000 if they ignore their legal responsibilities after adopting new enforcement powers, which can be dealt with by way of civil penalties, rather than through the criminal courts.

Have a look at the right to repair the councils have to conform to

https://england.shelter.org.uk/housi...ouncil_tenants

so its

1-7 days

then if the first contractor fails to turn up they get another 7 days.

so 14 days.

If they fail the Council pay compensation of £50.

Max repair cost is £250 so a broken boiler will not be covered.

Repairs not covered
A repair doesn't qualify if:

it costs more than £250
you caused the problem
your council has less than 100 properties to let out
you fail to provide access for inspection or for the repair to be carried out

You can claim compensation if the second contractor doesn't do the repair within the new time limit.

You are entitled to £10 compensation with a further £2 a day for every extra day the repair isn't fixed, up to a maximum of £50.

If you have rent arrears, the amount is deducted from your arrears.

Don't see why a landlord, or anyone else, should have to foot extra costs or risks beyond those which existed at time of contract.

It we insist on rights it is only fair that the costs should be shared equally between taxpayers, not be born by individuals. Sure, this bloke is wealthy but not all landlords are, it is the only source of income for many retired people.

From whom has it been stolen?

The trick is to enclose it. Then it isn't theft.

Looking around here it would be easier to name those who haven't had their tulip lifted

That doesn't matter. The quote sounds good to those without much.

he missed a trick. The issue is if he doesn't fix the boiler in 5 days the council fine him if the tenant is an under 5.

He should have backed the Boiler maintenance to British Gas or similar and charged the council the extra for under 5s.

The council are shown up as idiots.

The issue he said he had with people of Indian origin is that the curry smell means cleaning the flat is near impossible. Maybe they should forfeit their deposit?

The EU & Labour supporters would expect him to give them the home for free.

Private property is theft and should be distributed by the government.

UK landlord kicks four single mothers out of his properties | Daily Mail Online

No coloured people and their smelly curries
No single mothers
No plumbers (because they're probably Polish)


He needs to add No Irish, no EU supporters and no Labour voters and I think he's got most of it covered.
