    but its use is often to differentiate someone from the more perjorative word "LL", as though the accident is somehow deserving of sympathy and different treatment,

    I'm not responsible for what others think or do.

    No I don't, you are welcome to think what you want to, as is the treasury (and others).

    No, that isn't what I am saying (read my initial post), what I am saying is that the phrase accidental landlords has a defined meaning accepted by the treasury and others.



    Excellent, I don't work for the treasury so their acceptance has no impact on me. Nor many other posters who find the notion of - it was an accident and not my fault - ridiculous.

    But if you read the link it does actually have an impact on accidental landlords! I don't think anyone was suggesting that it had an impact on you.

    But the OP had the option to sell or be a LL, the OP chose the latter, so technically the OP is not accidental.


    you don't know that


    the mortgage could have ben "under water" at the time he needed to move, with the lender refusing to let him sell at their loss.


    (and no, don't start to argue that he didn't need to move jobs)

    It's all about responsibility and choices.


    It's fine to choose to move and to choose to rent, but don't play the victim

    The queue of gormless mouthbreathers trying to pick holes in someone's usage of a clearly defined and accepted term (as patiently explained by chucknorris) really sums up the calibre of regular posters here
