The businessman said he tried to negotiate an agreement with the Reads to repay their backlog of rent but this failed and their tenancy expired on April 24, 2020. Mr Williams began legal action to evict them that same month.

Lazy journalist who can't be bothered to understand property law, the tenancy didn't expire, it just converted to a rolling periodic tenancy. Until a judge grants an eviction order the tenant is legally entitled to carry on living in the property whether they are paying rent or not. That's the law, don't like it, don't become a landlord.

If she missed her first rent payment in December 2019 why did he wait until April 2020 to start legal proceedings? He's whining about delays in the legal system but the first big delay in resolving the situation was entirely his fault.

We had a high-interest development loan on the property because we couldn't re-mortgage because we have a tenant who isn't paying rent.’

He's got 50 properties in his portfolio and doesn't have the readies to just pay off the mortgage on this one while he sorts it out via the legal system? Ruh roh.

Its a pitty that most 18-30 year olds couldn't be bothered voting again in the last 2 elections. If the had collectivised and voted Corbyn in, housing might now be on an improving trajectory, both rental and purchasing.

Well obviously Corbyn's message was not enough to put those people through the trouble of walking for 5 minutes to a Polling Station and putting in all the effort of a Cross next to his name.

How and why would that be the case?  Please explain.

Young people will never be able to outvote those who benefited from cheap housing and decent pensions. We are outnumbered.

In any case, I am not sure that housing is as big an issue for voters north of the Bristol Channel and The Wash. I spent yesterday in a city in the midlands. It was an eye-opening experience for someone who has lived down south all their life. I visited a suburb where you could buy a house for 200k. By a house I mean an actual freehold property with a garden and two bedrooms rather than a leasehold rabbit hutch. In the midlands people on average incomes can achieve traditional markers of adulthood such as buying a property and starting a family.

Socialism works.

Right up untill when you run out of other people's money.

I think you need a bit of socialism and a bit of capitalism. In life you need a bit of it all, and so the same in economics, in appropriate doses and types.

The LL should get onto HMRC anyway, but particularly as the tenant sub letter should be vat registered if income over £85K, so allegedly it may be vat fraud. I'm not sure if vat is appicable on the sub letters rent.

Mr Williams fought Booking.com to take down the page advertising his house but says the US-based site refused to do so for more than a year.

The landlord estimates Mrs Read has made more than £95,000 from letting out rooms on Booking.com - based on the number of reviews the property has received and an average stay of three days at £150 per night. However, Mrs Read disputes the profit figure.

Before Blair you could get a nice property like that for £90K in a nice London suburb.

Either a) he is got very very thin profit margins supermodel thin or b) he is pleading poverty to get sympathy.

Welcome to the real world. The last 5 years of my working life in finance I ran a national team and was based in London......and it was all done from a little Northern Yorkshire town.

Financially and spiritually they could have paid me enough ( I mean literally no amount of money) to move south.

Don’t be daft.... that sounds far too balanced.

Many on here hate socialism or even having to pay more tax for lazy social scrounges.

They keep voting for the same privately educated boys club.... then banging on about how corrupt things are.

I happily advocate a fairer society, vote for one and then take as much from this beautiful rigged system as ‘the public’ clearly want me to.... used to upset and annoy me, now it just fascinates me.🤷🏻‍♂️

A common claim.  Logically, if we need a bit of it all, we'd also need a bit of extremism - and, if we're going to need that, then it begs the question:  which bit of extremism are we going to accept?

I also think we need diversity of opinion and ideas... but, despite this, I find it very difficult to see any value in any of the political positions... which, to me, seem to be nothing more than dishonest posturing.

A fair society isn't one where people in London who work and pay taxes live in smaller houses than pro single parents.

A fair society isn't one where people on benefits can get £50K p.a as did Abu Qatada for many years.

That's just taking it to nonsense extremes.

You used the word "all"

That includes assault, murder, theft & rape.

So it''s funny fro you to complain about nonsense extremes when you were the one who went there yourself.
