To put it in context, the news items yesterday was there has been a rise in illegal evictions, not that there has been a rise in LL's illegally evicting tenants who had not paid rent. As we all know there is legal recourse for LL's in the event of non payment of rent and other issues, my understanding is that it was not the sole reason for illegal action taken by these LL's.
is that all..you make it sound so simple....maybe you should ask people that have had to move at short notice how easy it really is!
at lot of difficulties in the past as well and why protection was needed was that whilst landlords considered the properties their houses, the tenants considered them as their home and often landlords failed to recognise this
That's very disingenuous.Seems there little to protect a landlord anyway.
That's very disingenuous.
If the landlord notified the PRTB when he should have, the could have had the tenants out within two or three months. Instead, he/she waited when they should have informed the PRTB and then ended up breaking the law

the increase is because the legal route now takes 6month to a year....
Well, though its not scientific, their conclusion is that a number of factors caused by the recent downturn is leading to an increase in 'illegal' evictions, such as increased costs to the LL's mortgage prompting them to want to remove tenants and replace them with ones prepared to pay higher rents
I think onme of the best ways to address the current imbalance is to have a tenant database so that rather than look for references from previous landlords, they can be inputted online. It would be good to have a database to be aware of a tenant that has had abused lease agreements in the past. Maybe the prtb could provide a referencing system that showed up any previous actions taken against tenants or landlords, it might work in a preventative manner.
I doubt it. I don't think any forced eviction (ie, changing locks and removing people and their belongings) is going to be legal without a court order or at least a PRTB directive? I can't imagine it would be in this country.Can there be a legal eviction? Say if you served all your notices in proper form and time, the tenant didn't appeal to PRTB within 28 days - would the eviction be legal then?
hmmm also a good idea would be a website where previous tenants could warn prospective tenants away from misbehaving landlords. LLBlacklist.com nice
i thik the word should be left as it is.....call a spade a spade!i reckon the word 'Landlord' still unfairly has a stigma attached

In theory, yes. In practice however, it would be a legal minefield.I think a website of both good and bad landlords and tenants is a good idea.
