£33,600 paid out over 2 years rent and nothing to show for it. Nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada.

You could have put this post into your first post.

You couldnt even wait 2 minutes for a response.

I think we need a new smiley just for you.

Maybe they cant afford to buy it.

Personally I'd just throw the letter in the bin and keep paying rent at the old rate.

Maybe they can't afford that particular house but it's certainly £33,600 of dead money.

In your case I would serve a Section 8 eviction notice on you.

Can you imagine how far your thread would have gone on HPC if you had posted that from a Landlord's point of view. "I'm just about to put one of my tenants rent up from £1400 to £1484 a month. I've had a lot of maintenance to do to the house this year (and every year actually now that I think of it - new boiler and roof for the past 3 years) and I simply can't afford to subsidise my tenants any more. Could anyone give me some words to explain it sympathetically to my tenant (they are nice people and I don't want to lose them)"?

Perhaps they should just stop paying the rent while continuing to live there - this would be a victimless crime after all.

I wish one of those four in the top right corner would do something about this moron and his sockies

Seems to me that as they have been there for two years surely they should be expecting an increase at some point. After all it is only 6% ie 3% per year which is lower than inflation.

Just to add, I probably would not be increasing their rent myself as I would value a paying tenant. But they can hardly view a rent increase like this as extortionate.
