Tenant income discrimination?

[Karl11]

@S-155

But why landlords get bad tenants is using numbers and data and not going on old fashioned principles of personability , taking a view, keeping a relationship with the tenant and similar reasons. Because when a landlord does good things, so does a tenant, or vice versa

Out of curiosity @S-155, how did you pick your Landlord?

I assume from your comment above, that you will have used your good old fashioned judgement, rather than just using numbers / data.

How has that ended up?, as I note, from your post below that your Landlord has failed to be professional, and correctly lodge your deposit.

@S-155

I just found out my landlord didn’t protect my deposit around £1k for some time after the start of the tenancy, so I will make a claim after I’ve left. It also invalidates my section 21 so it’s going to buy me time in leaving my current property, if need be.

Is your experience a demonstration of why Landlords should not just use good old fashioned personality. Whilst the numbers / data & affordability levels might not be perfect, clearly the good old fashioned ways aren’t either, as is demonstrated by your pick of your Landlord.
