It is difficult to answer a plethora of questions and half accusations. You mid the point BTW. You are looking at through Conservative neo liberal spectacles. How it affects the individual landlord or tenant. This is about the wider community and social responsibility. I have worked hard on a number of policies to help landlords as a side. Mr Eafield. You cannot as an industry expect to make money off the backs of poor communities and not expect them to countenance the lack of social conscience within the industry. Have you seen what your industry has done to Woodnook? |

The scheme was on the agenda of the Council meeting on 30 March 2010, but was only a report of a key decision informing the Council meeting of the Cabinet decision, this is a link to the report presented - http://www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/downloa...y_Decision.pdf So your remarks about Labour councillors telling everyone of the decision are disingenuous. So maybe you should apologise for your ignorance of the correct information. Also it might be helpful if you could inform everyone, which HBC councillors are landlords. |

Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
Where do the "bad tenants" with youngsters go when they have been evicted under the new rules , cannot for the life of me see HBC allowing a tent city being built on Broadway , are they going to take the homeless kids into care (split up a family) or re-allocate the family to a "Council" owned property a few streets away :confused: :confused:

Poor housing is an issue and needs to be dealt with, however the current plan is not even-handed? What will happen Oct 2010 onwards? Bad landlords will dodge the scheme or simply dispose of the assets they are unable to let, these "people" will then simply move on to other areas, that have not been encompassed by your scheme. More rented in other areas, those areas will quickly worsen, particularly the ones that should already be included in the scheme. This current scheme stinks of "NIMBY". Does it not make sense that we target the bad landlords and thus prevent them from simply moving the problem from one street to another. Your current scheme requires a landlord to ensure poor quality tenants are dealt with and removed if necessary, where exactly do you think they will then go? We should also be considering the fact that “truly good landlords" can be unfortunate enough to have bad tenants from time to time. Nice couple moves in two years no problems, girlfriend leaves partner, partner goes of the rails and falls in with the wrong crowd and becomes a bad tenant. Who’s fault is this? The Landlords, apparently. We are trying to make landlords responsibly for the shortcomings of some elements of society, should there not be some form of combined and targeted effort to improve bad landlords and bad tenants alike. Should we will be sending all speeding tickets to Audi for building the R4! Isn’t it embarrassing that as a country we do not have the ability to apply a little more common sense to things. On the subject of a labour council reducing rents, perhaps you could elaborate how in a free democratic market you intend to do this. You have previously quoted HBC as charging £63 and doing a better job than the private sector. This a somewhat arrogant statement, considering you are not privy to the conduct of the entire private sector, however you could perhaps elaborate on how well HBC would do without the private sector considering there are currently just 4 properties available to let vie the HBC website ( 2 of which are 1 bed flats). I should very much like to discuss the matter further, I did try to call you although you advised you were not able to speak with me for the next three weeks. Selective licensing should most certainly be introduced, but can you not concur that the current scheme will not be effective and that it would take little effort to take further consultation on the way in which this scheme is introduced. |

On the subject of Woodnook, perhaps we could discuss its turning point and Salford Housing association, purchasing half of the area under the cover of Space Ltd, receiving government grants for refurbishment and moving all the scum bags they didn’t want on their own door step in. A similar knock on effect I should anticipate will come from the proposed scheme. I am not a Conservative neo liberalist and politics are not relevant to my views on this subject, please remove the labour cap and simple consider my points objectively. As per my last thread, I would welcome as would many landlords and normal decent individuals, the opportunity to “discuss” the scheme further. |

I do however apologise for making a big deal over this point and for the record concur the ultimate outcome would not have altered. Perhaps you could comment on all of my other points. |

Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
I would like to know where are these 'three one bedroomed flats advertised on the HBC website':confused:. I have looked and not seen. I am registered with B-with-us and each week there are between 30 and 40 tenancies advertised in the 'social housing' sector.
I did not think that HBC retained any housing when the big transfer to Hyndburn Homes happened a few years back. |

Your case study saw a landlord ultimately evict what was a bad tenant, yes he maybe took too long to do it and yes the council had to get involved, however the end result was that she was evicted. Where did she go?, because the council didn’t house her! We can be pretty certain she isn’t living in a cardboard box, so "there it is" my friend she’s moved in next door to some other poor sole within a district that is obviously not licensed six months later. You better hope you live in a licensed area. If not now’s the time to be nice to your neighbours, because the next time one falls into debt and sells to an investor you could be living next to your case study. Oh and under current law it will take even the best landlord at least five months to evict her for you. Good luck! |
Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
'we are committed to caring for your property in your absence and to maximising your financial return'
Home.co.uk: Eafield & Maple Website I think for many residents, living in areas blighted by problems associated with poorly tenanted properties, many with absentee landlords hundreds of miles away, who bought into the area purely to profit, somethings are more important than pounds and pence. Fot those honest, hardworking people, trying to raise their families, quality of life rates much higher than profit. ;) |
