A Big thank you for having the wherewithall

Dear Paul, Just wanted to say a big thank you for having the wherewithall to get your idea and site up and running – I think it is a fantastic thing you are doing! As landlords or agents we have very little or no real protection from rogue tenants. Many of us feel that the [...]

Landlord will not use agent that is not with LRS

Hi there Gareth, you have received a reply to your Gumtree posting: Hello, My name is *** I am a Negotiator at *** in Southgate. We have many tenants looking for property to rent and I was wondering if you would allow us the opportunity of helping to rent your property. Please contact me *** [...]

Brilliant Site

Hi, As a new member of this site I would imagine Ive missed quite a lot of ‘bad tenant alerts’ and was wondering if it possible for you to send me any ‘tenant alerts’ from the past (within a reasonable time period  – say 6 months), for my area (Merseyside). It would be most appreciated. Think [...]

I received an email this morning which is so important I’ve just copied and pasted it in its entirety below

Good Morning, It is not normal that I write to you this early in the week unless it is a rogue tenant alert but we have had researchers working over the weekend to collate data for the new ‘OurLoop’ site going live on 4 February 2011 www.ourloop.co.uk and feel that this qualifies as National Alert, [...]

Rent your property and travel at your peril

My last single female tenant illegally sublet my flat to three men. It created considerable wear and tear not only on my nerves, listening to her lies via email and knowing from all the reports from visiting repair men etc that there were 3 razors in the bathroom and guys sleeping around the flat and [...]

Debt Collectors – what a waste of time and money

Hi Sarah, We as landlords have lost a fair amount of Rent, and because of this we contacted Debt Collectors – what a waste of time and money .  We paid out initially something like £600 to 700 for the agency to collect this debt from these rogue Tenants.  However, this particular company folded and we actually lost [...]

Tenant had left slashing the carpets

Hello Paul, I am a landlady  in West Yorkshire and I did not see the need for me to join your web site as I only have one property with a good tenant,    but the turning point for me was when I was reading the house price crash forum and I always get annoyed at [...]

I have uploaded my tenants

Hi Sarah , I have uploaded my tenants and hope that no one has to ever suffer what I did again these are nightmare tenants. The property was a new build with Immaculate decoration and new carpets throughout. They left the house in a filthy state.  Doors had to be replaced, it had to be [...]

I have signed your petition and forwarded it on to at least two other Landlords I know….

Having just read this annoying madness, I too have been a victim of this insanity, may I say first that I have signed your petition and forwarded it on to at least two other Landlords I know. Now moving to my experiences with LHA tenants and direct payment to them via the council. I have [...]

I have had in excess of £25k misappropriated by my tenants with no chance of recovery….

With all my heart I support the direct payment to landlords and not tenants. In less than 6 years as a landlord I have had in excess of £25k misappropriated by my tenants with no chance of recovery. What is more the council HAVE to aid and abet this fraud by processing a new claim for [...]
