Continuing the discussion from [What Does the Renters' Rights Bill Mean for Landlords?](https://community.openrent.co.uk/t/what-does-the-renters-rights-bill-mean-for-landlords/68411): > [@What Does the Renters' Rights Bill Mean for Landlords?](https://community.openrent.co.uk/t/what-does-the-renters-rights-bill-mean-for-landlords/68411/1): > > It also seeks to “balance the playing field” between landlords and tenants by strengthening tenant security, rights, and protections I don’t see how any of the proposed new legislation “balances the playing field”, it simply means it is going to be harder to remove problem tenants at the same time as allowing them to quit at 2 months notice, i.e. minimum 3 months into a new tenancy. With no term restrictions the landlord will be left with the agents tenant finders / set up fees, council tax, utility bills standing charges, marketing and clean up costs with little in the way of earnings from rent receipts of only 3 months to cover said costs. Besides being taken to task over prospective tenants with children, pets and / or HB with no income. Pray tell me how that balances up the playing field…? IMHO it is entirely one sided, as per usual…! There will not be any improvement in the court eviction process, with the exception of a landlord funded Ombudsman that will err on the side of the tenant in every case as do the TD schemes. As a landlord I feel oh so much more secure - NOT! ---

If your risk goes up, your return needs to go up, so the rent needs to go up. ---

Truth be known tenants walk away when it pleases them anyway and stick 2 fingers up at the landlords contract terms and conditions, leaving the only options to suck it up or MCOL with little hope of recovering the debt and costs. I just had one walk out of a 12 month contract after 6 months not paying his last months rent to cancel out his bond. Tenants are so honourable and deserving of these RRB protections - NOT. With the new RRB proposals we won’t even have that option to screw up their credit rating, or any possibility of recovery. Perhaps that is the motivation for the government to reduce cases in court as it’s certainly got nothing to do with security of tenure, which is what they were bleating about over abolishing S21’s. Two faced politicians playing with peoples livelihoods and investments, despicable…! ---

Congratulations. It’s crossed my mind to buy a load of beds and chairs and hand my properties over to Serco for 5 years. ---

so it is possible to DM you. It’s just not possible for you to read it 😆 well if you could start another thread detailing why a move into commercial has more pros than the PRS going forward, I’d appreciate it ---

Once again the government has decided to act, against the so called bad landlords. Forgetting the bad tenants, of course. The results being the private rental market is shrinking, the courts are wasting our time, any awards, the tenants don’t pay. This being the case rents have gone sky high and landlords have become suspicious of possible new tenants. I used to use an agent, until the rental income ceased to be be paid by them. They claimed their manager had be involved in fraud. It’s taken six months to simply get the deposits transferred over. All the national governing bodies have just suggested I contact other national bodies.mThey do not want to get involved. But O M G I bet they will be quick to fine landlords ---
