Whilst it can be a problem that rent is paid direct to the tenant - the landlord of the house featured was actually getting the rent direct.

This is the website of the Hyndburn Landlords who are seeking to stop Selective Licensing in Hyndburn.
Hyndburn Landlords - Selective Licensing will affect YOU
In his interview Grant Shapps said that councils can use Selective Licensing to control bad landlords - but councils can only control them if they are allowed to implement the scheme. Although I do question whether Grant Shapps turely wants to tackle this modern day Rachmans.

Have you also decided to opt out of paying any taxes, on that proviso, because there's a minority of sinners who abuse our taxation system?

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
 

Thank you Graham for bringing this topic out. I dare no say too much on here but what I will say is, a couple of years ago my back door neigbours ( since gone thank goodness ) were shocking, they Lived in a private lanlords house ( one of the landlords that is objecting ) rubbish was regularly thrown out of windows into the back yard. Men urinating in the kitchen sink.( this house is higher than ours, so we can see ) I rang the landlord on many an occasion , never did he answer the phone,never. Eventually I contacted the council and a very nice man came to visit us, when he saw the rubbish I mention he was disgusted., said no-one should have to live with that mess around. I am sandwiched between private landlords property, they put anyone in them, as long as they get the rent,thats all that matters to them.

I am more fortunate than you,
The house I was living in was compulsory purchased and due to this I was put on a priority list.
I was lucky enough to be offered a completley renovated terraced house by Harvest.
If ever I get in touch about a minor problem or fault, it does not take them long to get someone out to do a repair.
All the legal yearly safety checks are carried out.

I wish all tenants could have landlords similar to mine, I'm sure that by keeping on top of repairs and so on, this prevents my landlord having major problems with their properties.

Oh, and the other thing they did in the initial tenancy agreement was every couple of months during the first year of my tenancy, to send a representative around to check that I was looking after their property and causing no inconvenience to my neighbours and making sure my neighbours weren't causing a problem for me.

If Heineken ever rented property they would be called 'Harvest'.

:D


Well, that's enough creeping, I'll look forward to at least a years rent rebate for that!

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
 

So, it appears from Greeny's post, the landlord referred to is one of those who are trying to legally block the scheme being introduced in Hyndburn, which would help root out landlords from Hell.

Who'd have thought?

I'd hasten to guess who it was.

They all look so nice and respectable.

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
 

Very, very odd.

Just worked out why some can't post in this thread.

It's when you type S-elected L-icensing!!!

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
 

Even though it's impossible to mention correctly it in this thread, I am of course referring to the S-elective L-icensing scheme.

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
 

Selective Licensing, what ya on about if this has posted?:confused:

Re: BBC Breakfast News in Accrington - Private Landlords
 

I tried to submit post 40 for twenty four hours.

In frustration I deleted the words Selective Licensing, and immediately posted it successfully seconds later.

Can do it now, but not before.

Totally weired.

It's not like I don't know how to post.
