Nottm's biggest Priv Provider of housing to Benefit tenants over 26 years. If Govt & Council bashes Landlord, this really hurts tenant with extortionate rents

Rachel Reeves says she's lifting half a million children out of poverty.
Hang on a minute-How's she doing that then?
She's just put an extra 2% on rental income.
Where does a Landlady get her rent from?
What is happening to that rent now?

£6 million a year @MyNottingham spend on B&B's for the homeless. that could build 60 houses a year. Is anyone working this out and doing joined up thinking?

When will the uninformed public realise it's Govt & Council's that are mostly responsible for the high rents tenants face today. Give an hour on TV to educate people & tenants will realise the higher costs are mostly due to Govt & Council policies. https://t.co/oUgp0xcLiT

@_CommonTreasury @BeadleBen Yes lots. Your figures are corrwct. Some of em have 8% in their head. Others like the area. Others looking long term.

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

@BeadleBen 2/2 No joined up thinking the colossal homelessness and costs these cause. Ooh let's ban pet deposits. We not taking pets then. Let's ban not taking Benefit tenants. We'll ban em on affordability then and just waste their time. 176 new rules since 2015 all hurting good tenants

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

So @UKLabour recognises bureaucracy increases cost, blocks new housing. We are Housing Providers. Tenants pay more for increased regulations. So why does Labour Party wish to block new housing for desperate tenants? More regs less houses
@katefaulkner Faulkner OBE @BeadleBen

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

My tenants house has got rats coming through (excuse her grammar) cause @MyNottingham house next door not being acted upon by Council. So Priv Landlords pay for Sel Licensing, meanwhile Council pay zero and do zero and their houses cause problems for those that pay for Licensing.

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

I see nothing here different to what @LabourParty @Conservatives & @MyNottingham Council & Councils r doing to Landlords.
How can you have a good non draughty house with EPC D, now boiler, doors, windows, kitchen, then @Ed_Miliband comes in & says changeit

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

Why Ed Miliband @ng_labour, are you always trying to increase Private tenants rents? By wanting EPC C. What if the tenant was paying cheap rent say £200pm below normal & Landlord got to spend £6000-What do you think is going to happen to that rent?
@BeadleBen @katefaulkner

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

Does @ACORNunion really think this is helping their tenants get houses off Priv Landlords? "We have a right to a home.” What do u think is gonna happen when that Landlord/Landlady is about to house you & you say Ooh by the way, you never getting this back!

Jeremy Corbyn making people homeless every time he talks
Is it my job to house them then? At a price Corbyn chooses? Why don't Corbyn come buy all my houses with tenants, I'll tell him the rent he can charge
Corbyn slams landlords & demands rent controls https://t.co/ipg38aFlgZ

Paul McCartney: We're the people, you're the government! U supposed to protect us. If @Shelter @genrentuk Govt Councils keep hammering the Landlord. Where is the Landlords protection? U want Sec21 banned, Y we give u house.
Protect us or u won't have us.

Everything they call for, makes it worse for the next tenants. And more expensive. Sounds great if the person giving was a charity and had a magic money tree. Mr Landlord, you will withdraw your investment and house me for £3000 less pa than your investment. Aah right ok then

[Paul Shamplina @PaulShamplina]

Just going on @TalkTV with @iancollinsuk talking the banning of Rent in Advance and EPC upgrades for landlords.

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

@AFCLjB @BeadleBen They not getting it are they

@BeadleBen They banned Landlord taking an extra £100 for a pet. What did Landlord do? Stopped taking pets. They said u must take Benefit tenants. What did Landlord do? More refused. When will they come and ask the Landlord What can we do for u so u help us out and take our people?

[Mick Roberts @MickRobertsBoss]

They not right are they. I'm biggest Private Housing Provider in Nottingham to Benefit tenants over 28 years and I'm no longer taking Benefit tenants and selling most my houses next 2 years. I used to take ANYONE. U r taking money out bank Landlord and housing us for a loss. OK.

[Ben Beadle @BeadleBen]

The days of landlords accommodating renters with:

✅ CCJs
✅ bad or no credit record
✅no proof of income or none at all ✅temporary employment contracts or in probationary periods
✅ no uk guarantor (such as students, especially overseas)

Will soon be over. There - fixed your tweet, Minister.

Luckily there’s plenty of social housing to go round 🫤
