EU immigration is a major sourcewesternpromise wrote: »Wrong as always, Crashy. Net immigration is still rising. We would need net negative immigration for rental demand to shrink. As the source of our net positive immigration is not and never was the EU, leaving the EU will not move us to net negative immigration.

Get taken to court and if in rent arrears get a CCJ. The CCJ costs extra but we do it so that the tenant can't do it to any other landlord as long as the landlord checks. It does make it more difficult for people to get credit to.
I think that's where the LL falls down. Anything that costs him a penny is a no-no. The loss of rent he could be recouping does not seem to penetrate the concrete block that passes for his brain.
To be fair, he has taken her to court and the judge has done nothing. There must be something I am missing, as if it is my job to tell him what to do but if that is what it takes to get her out, so be it. I just don't know what to tell him to do, assuming he would even listen. It really feels as if nothing gets done if I don't drive it and it is so not my job.0 -

He has to serve a valid notice. Then he has to pay for the bailiffs.0 -

We have just advertised our flat as available for rent and hopefully will get a tenant soon. They will get a six-moth tenancy and after that, if they have paid their rent and looked after the place and if they want to stay, they will get a rolling tenancy.
I would not evict a good tenant, no landlord would. (I didn't evict my last one - he evicted himself by going to prison!).
Presumably if this three year tenancy is made law it won't apply to existing tenants.
If and when this next tenant leaves, and if the three year tenancy is law, I will sell the flat. It is a major asset and I need to be able to protect my asset. I won't rent it again if I can't evict someone.
Best sell it now then, before the Brexit meltdown gets going properly.0
