I don't know you from Adam so certainly not a mate.gabby71 said:
I would think normal decent people would have no problem adhering to the t&c’s - they aren’t exactly restrictive are they? And the same with paying rent, normal decent people pay their rent every month would you believe 🙄RelievedSheff said:
So they can evict you for quite a number of reasons then if you don't adhereto the terms and conditions of your rental agreement. Much the same as any other landlord.gabby71 said:

Thanks. I’ve been through the website but I can’t find the part where it says you can rent a property and never be evicted. Can you point it out for me?gabby71 said:
Ok mate 👍🏼 If you feel the need to continue spouting your words of wisdom here at least ensure your knowledge is up to speed - another member has very kindly sent me some information that very clearly shows you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about 🙄SpiderLegs said:
Well to be fair I just asked you how long you considered a long term tenancy to be. Your response was ‘as long as the tenant wants’.gabby71 said:
Do you specifically troll these forums waiting to berate and belittle people for their queries and questions??SpiderLegs said:
Amandacat has told us a nice little story with no actual evidence.gabby71 said:
Seems not - previous poster Amandacat has confirmed there are developments specifically for long term renters- seems like some developers are jumping on 👍🏼SpiderLegs said:
What you are suggesting is pure fantasy.gabby71 said:
As long as you want to stay, a place you can settle in, improve, not worry about the landlord selling upSpiderLegs said:
What length do you consider to be a long term tenancy?gabby71 said:
I’m unsure how that comment relates?SpiderLegs said:
The average tenancy length is around 4 years.gabby71 said:For people who are unable to buy a property and have a slim chance of getting a housing association property (or don’t want to live on a housing association estate) the only option is private renting where you are at risk of getting notice to leave at any time, can’t really make it your own or put down roots...I’m surprised the government/developers haven’t realised there are many out there who would jump at the opportunity to have the chance of a guaranteed long term tenancy
I’m sure when we do see the detail we’ll be able to judge whether these schemes allow the ‘renter’ to stay there ad infinitum with no ability for the ‘landlord’ to seek repossession.
How you think what amandacat described is the same as your OP or your follow up nonsense I don’t know.
FYI Rent to buy schemes have been around for quite a while and are generally more expensive ways to end up buying a house. They are the housing equivalent of PCP car finance. What they are not is an everlasting rental scheme.

And if you are short of money. Guess what? They still want their rent.
Nothing unusual there then.
I think you are clutching at straws now mate - just admit you didn’t know this type of scheme existed and it is a great way for decent people to rent a home for as long as they wish
I have no Straws to grasp. I have a home to call my own that is secure.
I am well aware that these schemes exist. My job involves working on housing development design with all the major house builders and local authorities. I work on these projects day in day out. Almost all of the projects I work on have an affordable housing element.
What you have found is no different to renting from a local authority or a housing association or a private landlord.0 -
I give up, you have already backtracked several times in this thread and I just can’t be bothered splitting hairs with someone as pedantic as you 🙄SpiderLegs said:
No gabs I saw that bit. It doesn’t say you can never be evicted, as you have just alluded to in your comment above. I’m not really sure where you’re going with this. All you’ve found is a property developer who rents out their properties on the same terms as any other landlord.gabby71 said:
No - i’ve already posted the relevant section above, Spiderlegs clearly missed the part that states you can rent the property for as long as you wish, as long as you pay your rent and adhere to their t&c’s 👍🏼RelievedSheff said:

granted you probably have a bit more implied security due to their size, but this is still fixed term followed by monthly periodic.

So identical to the current situation except the tenant now needs to give more notice. That's just making things worse.BigD74 said:How to solve this? Any new tenancy has a 6 or 12 month probation period, to prove the tenants pays the rent on time and looks after the property, after which time the tenant is offered an "open ended" tenancy without end date. The landlord needs to give 6-months notice to end it, the tenant 3 months.
