PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Banning of S21 will help address this stuff, as there is a rent tribunal service, however because there is S21, the tribunal has no effective power as a landlord can simply do a no fault eviction if they dont like the decision or even dont like the fact it was escalated in the first place.jj_43 said:It’s sounds like one of those typical landlord and tenant relationships where the property is not maintained financially or physically. Perhaps it will prompt the landlord to charge market rents so the property is in better condition, or more likely based upon performance to date they will do the minimum low cost fix and do whatever they do (which is not maintaining their property).
The biggest thing the rental market needs right now is scrapping of S21, but sadly the existing plans are likely to be scrapped under Truss.
