Renters bill

[JosieMain]

With the new bill coming into law later this year/ early 2026, a question:- is the only way to move tenants on (should they not have breached contract nor fall behind with rent arrears, aside from other specialist areas - student, employment, homeless accommodation), if a property is being sold, redeveloped or landlord moving in? As if so, tenants will have rights to stay in property forever until those points come into play. Aka no more section 21.
Intersted in views of is this interpretation right + is this reasonable.

Typo. 10 am which was time the Dad suggested would be best as it would be after kids were at school.

Hmm I get that but also tenants pay off the cost of assets with the balance of risk landlords take regarding damage, failure to pay rent, etc. Landlords do benefit financially eventually in the main else why would we do this? Why would we run a business if it had no upside? The issue inrhink has been that tenants in fairness have had a really bad time of if - being able to be evicted at 4-6 months notice for no reason miminal, with in the main short term / 1 year / 2 year contracts and rent that is able to increase each renewal… it’s not really fair. With majority of kids under 35/40 (ok not kids!) nor able to get in housing ladder in London/ south east that’s millions of people s lives impacted and having no chocie but to rent. And renting is fine really as long as you can live in peace and not always worrying that you could be moved on for no reason. It’s not landlords faults - we’ve been used to a situation where homes are seen as business’ and law and culture has dictated that. It is risky and it is hard work abs it isn’t a big money spinner in the short term but… I’d have a property or a few those assets build wealth and landlords do benefit. Because the situation is so very grave any intervention won’t be a silver bullet and will cause disruption but in balance it’s IMO it’s a step in the right direction

This. Why do it if everything is so heavily stacked against you? Why buy up buy-to-lets when you’re going to end up with hassle and in the red?

Reality is you all know that ultimately you’re going to profit!
