Well, it's gone for roughly what we were expecting, so we're fairly happy with that.

I'm delighted this nightmare has come to an end for you, and thank you for keeping this thread updated.

A salutary lesson for all budding landlords?

Well done OP, I'm really happy for you to be finally free. Thanks for keeping the thread updated.

I can see non paying tennents increase beyond anything ever seen before within the next year. Should I pay my extortionate rent or my extortionate heating bill? Some would say rent first, but most know if they have a child mays well have heating since it'll take a year to get kicked out and the council will sort them out anyway. Tough times but an easy way to grab near enough a grand a month for a year before the sob stories yada yada new council home. Sorted.

Depends...

DSS tenants shouldn't be a major problem, state pays their rent, but they'll have problems coping with inflation. The real problem will be people employed but on low wages.

Both tenants and landlords are going to have to share the pain.

Getting kicked put is not a recipe for a quick route to a council house.
