    I am a Landlord. Yes LLs can do whatever they please, but if they think they are going to pass on all their rising costs to their tenants, then their tenant will move.

    I wonder if some of these LLs have a business plan or just assumed there would be continual HPI, low lending, low unemployment and mass immigration.

    Just pass their costs onto their tenants:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just had a phone call from my better half who has been reading this site. I'm correcting that to we own our properties.

    I'll be home about 8.

    Landlords can do whatever they please...If you don't like it move...

    My landlord tried to put my rent up by 30 quid - told him to do one. He backed down so no increase in 2 years for me :beer:

    Landlords have to charge the rate set by the market or their house will sit empty and they will still have to pay their fixed costs - eg mortgage.

    I don't accept this argument that rents will rise - disposable incomes are falling and falling fast, this will force rents down.

    Look them up for yourself, perhaps?
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I see it like this.

    In Nov 2006 I charged £325 pcm rent

    In Jan 2007 I charged £85 pw rent (13.3% increase on Nov 2006)

    In Jun 2007 I charged (and I am still charging) £420 pcm (14% increase on Jan 2007)

    I try to keep 10-15% below similar proprties on RM. Currently about 16% under).

    I have a very happy tenant and next April I plan to increase the rent to £460.

    Still great value for a 4 bedroom house.
