If you are in a position to let your primary residence, I would suggest it cannot be your primary residence.

Excellent point. A primary residence is one where you are living at.If you are renting out, you cannot be resident at that premises.

It's fundamental logic.

But they don't understand anything, they don't answer questions, they don't discuss
anything. :wall:

They don't accept or understand they did anything wrong.

What's point of trying to change the law, if you don't understand & follow current law.

Brighton & Hove City Council will be thrilled about any proposed changes in the law!

The demand for council and housing association rented homes in Sussex far exceeds the supply. We regret we are not able to help everybody who applies to us. Therefore we positively encourage you to consider other housing options, such as renting privately, low cost home ownership or mutual exchange. (See the tabs on the left for more about other housing options).

Quoting angus news

It took five months before she was able to fight her way back into her own home, during which time she relied on the charity of friends and even slept in a tent with her four-year-old son.

I can't watch anymore videos, radio etc as I just can't bear it.

1) Speed up the eviction process (once the tenant is two months in arrears the landlord would need to provide proof that this is the case and ...after which time the tenant can be removed with a two week eviction notice. At present the court process can take up to seven months. All documentation would be checked and verified prior to initiation of recovery and eviction process bringing the law more into line with current commercial property law

2) landlords to have better access to their property. This would continue along the lines of the current system requiring written notice but if the tenant refuses to allow admission to have right of access allowed legally with police or baliff support.

The petition will be launched online later today

The part that makes me really laugh is where Suzy (& her marketing “guru”) write about bringing the law “more into line with current commercial property law”.

How does she reconcile that request with the fact that she plays on the “amateur” aspect when it suits, ie she wants LLs such as herself to have an “otherness” that sets them apart from other types of LLs offering a residential property let, along the line of

“ we are different, see, because it’s just our *home*that we’re letting out, we’re not like those other LLs who do it for a living”

Of course, those Suzies who let for longer than 6 months at a time and wanted to be dealt with under the commercial property laws may be less than enthusiastic about some aspects of commercial property law when they find that their T can gain an automatic right to renewal of the tenancy……. We know, of course, that it’s only some bits of commercial property law that will appeal and Suzy has already shown that she likes to pick which bits of any law apply to her.

What next, a”rebalancing” of the need for such LL’s to declare their income to HMRC?

A “rebalancing” of the requirement to scheme register your Ts deposit?

A rebalancing of s11 repairing obligations?


The press report put out this this afternoon will no doubt be full of spin and marketing buzz words such as “rebalancing” (generally seen as less threatening than the word “change”)

We should perhaps offer a full Plain English translation for those who are too thick to see through it, once it goes public.

Better protection = making a special case for a certain type of LL who wants all of the perks from renting out their property but none of the responsibility of acquainting herself with the existing law and working within it.

The law didn’t let Suzy down - her own ignorance did.

Compare to the chronology and yet again James Wallin of the Argus is reporting guff from bunkum Butler.

Yes and what's more to be an assured shorthold tenancy (which is what bunkum Butler used) it HAS to be the tenant's primary residence. She just doesn't get that concept at all does she!

Unfortunately not Lily and somebody really should burst the Bunkum Butlers Bubble

Ok Jeza and Sue above is one of your key objectives! Nothing wrong in seeking possession if there are 2 months rent arrear. Just a couple of questions, who are you going to provide proof to who can verify the proof is correct, it would have to be an independant person surely? and who is going to provide a landlord with a two week eviction notice? (again it must be an independant person). I mean it would have to go to an independant person to make sure all the paperwork is correct. We wouldn't want it to be a one sided lie, whereby a landlord returns to the rented property and demands it back with false claims of rent arrears, that wouldn't be fair at all!......

Continuing

to initiation of recovery and eviction process

Presumably by somebody who is authorised by the independant person to initate the recovery and eviction process?

So a brief summary of one of your key objectives is, once a tenant is 2 months in arrears, you would serve a notice (proof as you say) on them of the arrears, then go to an independant person to verify the rent arrears and ensure everything is done as per your key objective. Then that independant person can authorise another indepenant person to come out and instigate possession.

A true mastermind at work there Suzy :rotfl: have you ever heard the phrase "why re-invent the wheel".

My comments removed with this explanation,

Hi XXXX,

I’ve been asked to remove a comment you made on the landlord rights story, as we have no proof that Suzy’s father is a millionaire, that he bought a house for her in Peru, or that she imposed a £15-a-day late fee on her tenant. If you leave any more comments with unsubstantiated allegations, I will have to ban you from commenting on the site.

Many thanks,

Jo Wadsworth
