You know why you hate BTL landlords? Yes, that's right, you got it in one -because they're much better than you.

Now behave yourself and treat your elders and betters with the respect they deserve.

Why are they better than him?

I'm not a landlord (of any variety) but I'm considering buying a BTL property just so that B Blank doesn't speak to me.

My problem is that almost all the places I look at cost alot of money to rent

Firstly, lower your expectations. Look at things you CAN afford.

In addition, if (as we saw during 2008 and 2009) rental prices drop drastically as the market was flooded with stock, would you still be so appalled by paying the lowered rent?

Especially if your terrible, horrible, dirty, filthy BTL investor has high mortgage costs and can't meet them but has to get his property let as its his business?

Would that make you feel better?

Its the sheer greed of some landlords that gets us lowly tenants all upset. The lack of care for their property, basically seeing us peasants as property maintainance bodies.

I understand the sentiment. But having been on the wrong end of a tenant that showed a complete lack of regard for a property that 18 months previously had been carefully cleaned, repaired and handed over in lovely condition, I can say this lack of respect goes both ways.
