I thought the HMG had extended the eviction rules to protect tenants during Covid?
You cannot evict them nowadays

Before you even proceed with anything legal, make sure you have every box you side ticked!
Gas safety
Electrical ticket

The list is pretty extensive
What I would say is once you start keep going there is plenty of delay tactics out there.

Very fortunate yes but what about people who have bought a house as security so that they have somewhere to live when they retire or when their tenancy ends?
Who's going to pay the mortgage when the rent stops
Difficult times and will be for a long time

very different rental problem, father/law rents a house out, had a phone call...we haven't seen next door for a few days, so, over he went, no reply, anyway next door did a bit of contortion on a chair, and saw 2 feet, dead, police etc, but no next of kin in uk, an ex wife abroad, who didn't want to know. Council came and 'seized' his car, to pay for funeral, only to return it after, HP, who then chased f/law for money owed, he charged them storage for car. But we had to clean house out, and dispose off. The hardest part was getting the deposit back - they needed the deceased's signature before refunding it !
Renting houses out, is basically a business, and the risks are obvious, and you have to manage them in a business way. if they have no money, you are not going to get anything, court costs money, nearly cheaper to offer them money to get out, painful, but business is business, or, you can apply to bankrupt them, much cheaper, MVF started doing that, 14 days to pay, or automatic bankruptcy. If they have funds, that might well extract some.

So what your saying is my farm landlords should cut my rent by half, then I will cut my tenants rent on the house I own by the same amount .
Not all landlords are rich landowners or people that own a portfolio of property

The councils and institutions will have to buy All the rented housing stock up cos the way the laws are going no one will want to be a landlord!

Would that be such a bad thing?
It might stop landlords driving prices up and make houses more affordable for those trying to get on the property ladder, those who can't or won't buy a house could then rent a council house.

I took a 3 month mortgage payment holiday on my buy to let property. The interest isn’t paused! Those 3 months mean my repayments have since increased by approx £30/month. Over the remaining 12 years of the mortgage this equates to £4,320 of extra interest.

I want/need to sell my buy to let property. It needs some work doing to it before sale to realise full value. I’ve been trying to get the current housing benefit tenant out since October 2019. I’ve been told today that I may not actually get possession until October 2021.

Don't bother me either way but can councils finance such a massive job and rent them out on the cheap and repair all the damage all the time , bet they won't be arsed with the job !

Personally I wouldn’t have bothered unless it was necessary
We have some friends who took a 3 month holiday on their mortgage
Because it was on offer, both fully employed all the time with no loss of wages
Why?
So they could spend the 3 months mortgage money (about £4K) on a hot tub for them and the kids (because the could spoil themselves as lockdown was hard)
No Council houses nowadays.... Housing Associations!
Gobshites.....

No they're not interested, that's why they sold out of them, as with private landlords it wasn't the cost of the actual repairs it was the hassle of the tenants that they didn't like.
I'm too thick to know what it sounds like. All I can say is round here if something that can be described as a first time buyers house comes to market, it's often aimed at landlords too which pushes the price up. Which is then often too high for younger buyers so they have to rent.
It also happens in the UK.
