Best way to deal with a non paying tenant in rented farmhouse

Doing it for the kids · Jun 3, 2022

Was with the estate manager for a big estate near us recently.

Was saying how due to new policy they will sell most of their property.

This will force hundreds out of long term happy let’s, and where will they then go!!

It’s meant in good faith but executed badly, the tenants will suffer.

Not really.
Just ppl not prepared to start on bottom rung.
2 bed terraced near us for 60 grand.

I started with a 2bed terrace for 109,000 in 2009.

Hmmm flash. Our first house was an ex council terraced bungalow one bed in a part of Edinburgh where all the better bits had fallen into old mine workings

That should be outlawed too, leave the tenants in place

Shame. Nice little bit of income for retired folks renting property out, ideal way for first timers to get a roof over their heads. Oh well, fudge it then. Another industry bites the dust. I presume the market will soon get flooded with folks off loading properties, and house prices will crash. I assume this is the long term game plan ?
Let um get on with it then. The moronic leftie scroungers will have no idea how to maintain their own houses once they've bought them for nowt .

No crash, houses soon be filled by boat ppl...

Ok - and what of the EPC and new council registration requirements, outlaw these too?

Well quite, but as is often the case, the intention is to protect the poor but the reality is it affects them the most.

I had to evict some lovely long standing tenants who were paying 1/3rd of the market rate for a cottage Due to its condition. They had plenty of notice but even so caused them massive headaches

No the boy child gets threatened with the stables when he perfects being a mini me.

Based on the way he was flirting today I fear that may be sooner than I can cope with too!

Not quite sure you understand it.

600 tenants over a few square miles will be evicted and their properties sold because the land owner will not spend huge sums of money getting EPC’s on often old and listed cottages up to a C, nor pay the council £600 per annum per property.

How is that helpful to anyone?

Listed exempt?

Ok I thought you understood.

The property didn’t pass it’s EPC so it was illegal for me to keep letting it to them.

We were both happy but the government was not so they had to go and we had to renovate it. It’s now let out for 6 times more than it was before. The new tenants are very happy but the old has their lives turned upside down.

They had to move out of the area because they could no longer afford to live here.

Is this progress?

And what about people who have inherited a second house and want to rent it out but can't afford the immense cost of upgrading it's EPC rating? Are they to leave it unoccupied? Fudging madness.

I think this can be done but the onus is still on the LL to prove what can or can’t be easily achieved work wise.
