Ohh no those poor small landlords. They’ll have to choose another business to invest in. That dam regulatory risk
It’s almost like the government shouldn’t have as much say as they want in what people do with privately owned assets and should perhaps be looking to build their own housing stock for rent if they want to impose stringent rules like 6 year tenancies.
Interesting the way the article is written almost giving equal importance 20,000 people being evicted to the speculative asset of a landlord.
This was always going to happen. The landlords who wanted no controls to be put in place so they could continue to squeeze renters were always going to sell up and get out. They don’t like being treated like a business.
Ah well people are making money and given the way things have been for years that is all people really care about.
Notice of termination. It’s not easy to evict somebody totally different legal process.
Hold firm. We’re all in this together.
Better off without bad landlords and I’d hazard a guess most of them were. Otherwise I’d expect them to have known that the new legislation does not apply to existing tenancies.. so nothing was changing for them anyway.
Could have just sold whenever the current tenancy ended
I don’t have a subscription to the Independent. Do they note that the house will be sold to either families to live in permanently, councils to rent to families and individuals, and/or other landlords to also rent to families and individuals?
Or do they omit that, to gently give the impression that these 20,000 homes are now lost and gone forever?
Because that’s exactly what the market needs right now: a larger renting pool and fewer houses :/.
The stress this must be causing people that are currently renting 🙁
The new rent rules don’t incentivise eviction – any landlord with a tenant in place before the rules came in sees no change to their rights – it’s only when they enter into a new tenancy agreement would the rules apply. So any exodus citing a reduction in rights as the cause is either because they don’t know this or are simply using it as cover.
Edit: I might also add that the argument that they might be incentivised to evict in order to reset their rents to a higher rate is also incorrect because the new rules say any eviction prior to the rules coming into effect means that that property cannot reset the rent – this i assume was done in order to prevent a wave of evictions for economic reasons.
Surely that will take some pressure off the rental market though, assuming current renters who want to buy will buy those properties now that they are up for sale and will actually live in them, freeing up rental properties they were living in?
Unless of course they get bought up by corporations to be rented out again or by people already loving in overcrowded rental properties etc… Nevermind. It’s a neverending hell scape.
I also see loads of new rentals available in my area. Two, three years ago it was barren but now it’s 20+ in every town. Extremely expensive.
I’m the landlord of an apartment in Dublin and living abroad in my wife’s country. I’ve no problem with regulations and accept the changing legal landscape is a risk, like any business or investment.
I don’t earn enough to be taxed at 40% like most landlords, so it bugs me when they complain that they can’t afford the risk of being in the business. It just means they’re earning more than most other people if they’re on the higher rate.
I’m not sure why landlords would sell up now as it’s still a profitable business (albeit with risks that can destroy it in a few months with a bad tenant). Maybe it’s older landlords who worry tougher legislation is coming and figure with the market the way it is now makes it a good time to cash in.
I’m also not sure about this article. It is based on a press release from an estate agent (which I’ve seen) and the stats don’t include apartments, which make up the vast majority of rentals.
Applications for evictions to surge, there will be a multi year backlog of actual evections. If I got an eviction notice in the post recently I’d just stay put.
