Tenant moving out after 10 weeks claiming he didn't get RA

This family are in today's Mail on Sunday (can't find a link to it, maybe available tomorrow) with photos of the disgraceful way they left their rented property (urinating in every room) when the landlord evicted them over rent arrears.

It's highly unlikely that he will recover either the unpaid rent or damages to the property.

The PRTB will be of no use to this landlord either.

I saw a picture in the Sunday Independant yesterday with loads of very nice looking furniture outside the house and lots of bin bags and bits of carpet and I did wonder what had happened. My worst fear is a family like that. Hopefully no landlord in that area will now rent to them and I wonder is Cllr Crow still helping them or compensating the landlord.

Mark71 you are actually lucky compared to the above, we all have to go through it, it's not just you but you learn from it and become a better landlord.

yes, the IPOA will always give great advice. This has been said again and again on these pages, but I have yeat to hear someone suggest that landlords should join the IPOA. Why do some people expect this excellent advice for nothing when many of us have been paying our dues since the IPOA got going over ten years ago. We could really o with the extra revenue to highlight landlord issues and fingt unjust tax treatment.
