      Oh no, oh dear, so sad! Won’t someone think of the poor landlords?

      Fuck ‘em.

      It has been a free for all for too long.  Good to see some regulations which bite.

      Not that I’m against big fines but I believe they should be a percentage of revenue rather than a fixed number that scale up with number of offences committed, so the more you commit, the larger the fine

      I’m more worried about the tenants who aren’t going to be able to find places to live without government intervention next year. Rents are going up and enhanced credit checks and referencing have become available.

      British landlord association have a product that checks 6 years credit utilisation for all tenants now.

      Oh no landlords that have not got the correct licence or a licence at all could be fined.

      This should always have been in place. Too many landlords out there don’t have their HMO licence despite but are forcing far too many people to live together in order to rake in the money.

      Or don’t have the correct safety etc in place.

      Being a landlord even if it is just 1 property is a business and should be treated with the same level of seriousness.

      I’m sure none of those upset at £12,000 fine for the ‘minor paperwork error’ of letting out property in a “selective licensing area” were calling for Reeves resignation over her great crime of doing just that.

      This is going to reduce the amount of rental properties as more landlords are going to sell up i know some landlords are dicks around where I live its a nightmare to find a place to rent took me 7 properties before I got lucky

      > The largest penalties stand out immediately. A breach of a banning order carries a starting figure of £35,000. Using a possession ground that the landlord “knew or should have known” could not be met attracts a penalty of £30,000. Reletting a property during a no-let period is marked at £25,000. Even administrative failures, such as entering a selective licensing area without the correct licence, are set at £12,000.

      Anyone complaining about this is probably a crook.

      Bit of a hot potato this landlords business. I’m not one but I looked into what you’d be making in a rural area (where I live) and the return is 2-3% without an increase in the value of the property – which you can’t factor in. From what it looks like there are very large property groups who have a lot of property in cities – it’s those guys, usually foreign funding that we should be looking at. Being an independent landlord looks, pretty much, less worth it than just putting the money in a savings account. Yet there’s a housing crisis and we wonder why. Badly thought out policy – the universal answer to every question on why Britain is a bit of a mess.

      Oh no! Unlawful eviction or harassment has a maximum fine of £35000.  Terrible. 

      I also don’t believe these new fines will happen. The old ones rarely are. 

      I don’t think my local council has ever fined any illegal HMOs. 

      If it gets a complaint it sends a number of very polite letters…and it doesn’t even check online adverts where theres clearly many illegal and even dangerous ones. 

      Meanwhile it doesn’t have enough money and has increased the amount the poorest have to pay council tax. Go figure, Torys.
