Myself and my husband have an investment property in a housing estate. Our tenant is brilliant and the house is kept very well with flowers in garden etc and no hassle to neighbours etc. There is a residents committee meeting coming up which we found out about accidentally (neither us nor our tenant were notified – although I believe all non-rented houses in the area received a mailshot).
I think there are a few cranks on this committee, for example we heard a rumour a number of months ago that they planned to “ban” people from the estate renting out houses – which I presume would be illegal!!
Anyway, we are going to go along to the meeting. Has anybody with an investment property had any dealings with residents committees? Can the membership be limited to owner occupiers or is a "residents" committee purely for residents? I would of course welcome a strong residents committee but as owners of houses, surely landlords have a right to be involved and know what is being discussed? I have a feeling that there may be a bit of an anti-landlord feeling going on here.
Thanks
