Yeah... dont fall for that one, the debt on it will be twice its value, never mind all the repairs it will need, it is a Range Rover after all.Maybe they should offer Ranger Rover as part payment.

Estate agents are not known for following rulesI thought the HMG had extended the eviction rules to protect tenants during Covid?
You cannot evict them nowadays
I’d rather live in a house I can afford, than make everyone’s life a misery by squating. I don’t drive a Ferrari because I can’t afford it. I also don’t buy a Ferrari knowing I can’t afford it, not pay for it, but refuse to give it back.What kind of house would you rather live in? Do you rent out the farmhouse & rent a semi in town for the sake of saving a few hundred quid a month?
Why on earth would anyone let a house on that basis?We really need to get back to the pre 88 leases which could never be ended
Depends on the area. I was referring to rents in my areaProbably a lot cheaper than that in some towns but have you tried living there?
People these days seem to like living at or just above their means, it doesn't make sense to me but lots do it.

BrilliantImmoral is renting a house when you know you cannot afford to pay for it.
If they're in financial shite currently then they should have the balls to come and talk to you about it. But as oft the case some do the same thing over and over again just leaving a trail of debt behind them. Had a workshop tennant like that, in the end just drilled the lock out and emptied the premises, got a locksmith in sorted a new lock and that was that. Not sure it was legal but to be honest I couldnt bloody care.
I would make life as hard as possible for them. But out as soon as you can, you'll have to accept the loss. The carrot is that they continue to say they'll pay so you hold fire in the hope and on it drags, they may even stump up some funds to keep you sweet for a short while before they carry on as before.
I wishHit the cider again have you?

It’d probably work better than the current system, which protects the scum generallyDo you really want to go back to the days when the only way to get rid of tenants involved paying the local lunatic a few hundred quid so he'd "persuade" the tenants to move on?
Dont get the tenants in the first place.Do you really want to go back to the days when the only way to get rid of tenants involved paying the local lunatic a few hundred quid so he'd "persuade" the tenants to move on?
One with pedals, I assume...
Buy new then run it for 40 -50 years.They probably don't own it, those pcp lease things are all the rage these days.
You're not supposed to own your vehicle, have you not seen the threads about it on here?
There in lies the problem, people living beyond their means, that and the throw away consumer society.I’d rather live in a house I can afford, than make everyone’s life a misery by squating.

Before 1988, letting property was not seen as a viable business, we need to get back to that
I don't normally agree with you and some of your comments on this thread are pure bollax, you cannot blame genuine business-like landlords for taking advantage of an economic climate, that is business. Nevertheless the fact remains that the price of property must be influenced to a degree by buy to let and make it more difficult for some to get on the ownership ladder.Dont get the tenants in the first place.

The era of assured tenancies were not that ripe for some landlords. Some tenants could be in a property for decades paying a barely viable rent.What a load of rubbish. Money was being made from residential letting way, way, before ‘88.
