This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Introduce new laws to help landlords with proffesional rogue tenants.
As a law abiding landlord I am faced with a tennant who has caused thousand of pounds worth of damage to my property, missed rent payments, court costs and bailiff costs which will amount to nearly £10,000. A loss that will take over 5 years to recoup if we were lucky enough to have good tennants.
More details
Deposits wont cover the cost. If this were something physical taken from a business this would be classed at theft and this would become a criminal matter. Why is this not the case in this industry? Tennants are playing the system they know how it works and they will do it again and again.
