So what will renters do when the properties are repossessed because the landlord cannot pay his mortgage. Are they deluded enough to think they won’t get kicked out? Stupid.
They might have a chance of buying it for a reasonable price. Stupid.Digger said:

Yeah seems like a great way to get evicted at the soonest opportunity. I know it is not possible right now, but it will be soon enough.
Assuming this is widely taken up where will those people who currently rent live when they get kicked out? I suppose the council might find hostel space for them. Let’s face it not many people will rent to those with CCJs.
It will have similar effects to the other changes made over the last few years, reduce the number of landlords who can be arsed with the s
t, driving rents even higher. It’s great for those of us who have not sold up.
Honestly if a tenant of mine decided to have a rent strike they would be gone as soon as I could get them out. Any owing rent, even £50 would result in a small claim so any other landlord could see how much of a they are.
I have had 3 tenants contact me over the last week, asking to defer rent, no problem at all. I have agreed to 2 months and we will see what happens from there.

From your attitude it is obvious that your lack of fulfilment from life is the fault of others, it is genuinely sad that you feel comfortable hating people because of their life choices being different to yours.Edited by booboise blueboys on Wednesday 25th March 22:37
I understand that in your pathetic little world all landlords are leaches, this I am sure is very true, in the same way all food producers are leaches, car makers, energy companies, house builders, clothing companies etc the same.
In your world when all landlords have been re-educated you are offered a work placement at the other end of the country, it’s only for 6 months but great for your career, where would you live? Don’t say the council as they could not usually piss in their own pants, it would take 18 months to get through the gender questions, then they find you a flat in a crack house.

I'm a private tenant. I have no intention of going on a "rent strike", as much as I hate effectively buying a house for someone who's better off than me when I can't afford to buy one for myself. The bottom line is, cash as an investment was trashed during the last Labour government, meaning folk with money moved into property, increasing demand and driving prices out of the reach of ordinary folk like me who, ironically, then found themselves paying for said properties by renting them. Not the landlords fault. They're just people with a bit of cash taking steps to protect it like anyone with any common sense would. I'm just unfortunate in that the boom started just as I was getting into my first proper paying job so my modest savings were shrinking instead of growing as a percentage of the overall price of a house as I couldn't save quickly enough to keep up with house price inflation... My own situation compounded by making a relatively poor career choice. Again, not landlords' fault, they were just better equipped to react to what was happening to cash.
