to be honest to prospective tenants?

[JambalayaCodfishPie]

We are moving out of our house after a year of hell.

We have a restraining order against our neighbours as they are violent.

A young family just came to view the house and asked why we were moving - so I told them. I wouldnt want another young family to go through what we have.

Then got a phone call from the estate agent "Dont tell people thats why youre moving, they dont want it now!"

GOOD!!

AIBU??

"This is why there needs to be a register of landlords and ideally properties so these things can be obvious to prospective tenants - at the moment, it's illegal, as others have pointed out, to withold this kind of information if you're selling, but if you're renting a property out, you're under no legal obligation to reveal/tell the truth about anything."

Exactly.

Our previous property was so badly done that it was dangerous. So all they did before showing us round was hide the problems. And as most of them were problems that you'd have needed a surveyor to find out about, we were stuck with them.

It later turned out that our LL was just planning on getting renters to live with it, till he could raise the money to fix it and sell it. So he knew all about it and did nothing.
