Council estate capitalist Report post Posted March 18 Ordered to pay £1200 in compensation to a tenant. Is now suing that tenant for the return of the £1200 + £30k "legal costs" tacked on. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Council estate capitalist Report post Posted March 18 (edited) 6 minutes ago, spyguy said: Courts are very demanding on proving legal costs. Fatty will end up locked up for contempt on that. Kents long overdue a fit n proper law for LLs. +1 Sadly I think a prison diet would probably do him good. 5 minutes ago, elephant said: £1200 is low enough to be in the small claims track where I didn’t think you could claim full costs? I assume this is his defence costs of the crown court trial the council brought against him (For failing to fix a pregnant woman's boiler). I'm guessing he's claiming these against the tenant and has submitted the claim form with £30k on it. I'm sure if he were to win he would actually apply for additional costs on top. But yes small claims track is normally limited costs, but the court has discretion if the losing party has been unreasonable.

dpg50000 Report post Posted March 19 (edited) Hmmm..... I don't like them (and watching the video makes me hate them more) and they deserve everything coming to them for those they've been found guilty of offences against, but regarding the S21 evictions, what law have they broke? As far as I can see, none. The real issues are the shameful fact that private renting has doubled from 5 million to 10 million in the last 20 years, and the exorbitant renewal fees (did I hear it was going to cost one tenant £2600 to move?)

Fortunately, one can still go about one's daily business being thoroughly objectionable and without breaking any laws. What is disturbing here is that a "small businessman" can be so objectionable to his customers and get away with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. BoE needs to force all regulated banks with IO BTL to increase capital to 120% of the loan. IO lending needs to be a total no-no of regulated banks. IO BTL (non-amortising commercial debt) shoud last no more than 2 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taxes are no different to those who invested their own money, and borrowing to buy property to leave empty can't be much of an investment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
