Buy-to-let landlords ignore 'no DSS” tenant blanket ban despite ‘unlawfu...





Buy-to-let landlords ignore “NO DSS” tenant blanket ban
despite ‘’unlawful’’ ruling by Judge
The BBC has launched its own investigation into landlords
who still advertise their properties to rent using the terms “No DSS” or
“Working tenants only”. Last month, a District Judge has ruled that blanket
bans on renting properties to people on housing benefit are unlawful and
discriminatory.
The county court ruling found a single mother-of-two had
experienced indirect discrimination when a letting agent refused to rent to
her. She subsequently ended up homeless with her two children, when her case
was taken on by housing charity Shelter.
The judge ruled "No DSS" rental bans are against
equality laws.
District Judge Victoria Mark heard the case in York County
Court on 1 July, and ruled: "Rejecting tenancy applications because the
applicant is in receipt of housing benefit was unlawfully discriminating on the
grounds of sex and disability" and “contrary to the Equality Act 2010”.
According to a BBC report, landlords are apparently still
flouting the “ruling”.
However, a lower county court ruling may influence other
court decisions as a ‘persuasive authority’ in similar cases, but is not
binding in law.
The National Residential Landlords Association's (NRLA) Deputy
Director for policy and research, John Stewart, told the BBC that it had
"always advised landlords they should not blanket ban benefit
claimants" but the "fundamental issue was the affordability of
renting".
He added that there are a number of valid reasons why rental
listings said benefit claimants were not accepted, including:
·       
The timeliness and levels of benefit awards -
including complaints about universal credit, a shortfall between
housing benefit and private sector rents and in some
cases, fluctuating levels of benefit income
·       
Banks and insurers saw benefit claimants as
higher risk
·       
Landlords trying to avoid extra fees for tenants
who would fail credit checks and references
Complaints about Universal Credit taking months to pay
landlords and then giving the rent directly to the tenant have been widespread.

Shelter is a left-leaning charity which campaigns for the
end of “no fault” evictions, further regulation in the social housing sector
and new laws to force landowners to build more social housing.
The organisation has an annual income of £67 million, of
which £18 million comes from “grants and contracts”, some of which comes from
government or taxpayer’s money. They reported a £3.5 million “surplus”
(charities do not pay tax and cannot make profits so the make surpluses
instead), in 2018/19. The CEO is paid a salary of £128,000 a year – over 4
times the UK national average wage.
Shelter holds £16 million in reserves according to its Annual
Report 2018/19
and had fund balances of £26 million. Although they could
build a lot of social housing with £26 million, Shelter does not provide
“shelter” or housing.
Left-wing pressure groups like Shelter would like to take
the private rented sector seventy years back to the days of rent controls and
effective lifelong tenancies or ‘sitting tenants’, which would have the effect
of private landlords deserting the market in droves. Ironically, rent controls
in the 1950’s and 1960’s led to a shortage of private rental properties and the
very rogue slum landlords which led to Shelter being founded.
Everyone in the UK should have a home, but does that mean
everyone has a “right” to a home or a legal right to rent a home from a private
buy-to-let landlord regardless of their circumstances?
We are supposed to be living in a free and democratic
capitalist country, not a Marxist state. Landlords must also be able to choose
who they want to take on as a tenant based on their circumstances and ability
to pay.
This is not a political blog, but I have to say that
socialism and communism doesn’t work. It has been tried all over the world from
the failed states of USSR to Venezuela, yet keeps coming back like a virus you
can’t kill. Karl Marx idea of capital and land in the hands of the state has
been a disaster and led to millions dying of starvation in Maoist China and
North Korea.
I have current experience with both private and benefit
tenants with mixed results.
The LHA rates in some areas are simply not competitive or
equivalent to the open market rate and dealing with benefit claims is a steep
learning curve for landlords. Deposits and upfront rent can also be an issue.
Landlords with buy-to-let mortgages may be in breech of
their mortgage conditions if they let the property to tenants on benefits.
The private sector should not have to pick up the pieces for
the failures of successive governments to build sufficient social housing for a
growing low-wage population. There has been no major council house building
programme since the 1970’s.
The last major town to be built with proper infrastructure
and rail transport links was Milton Keynes which, along with other new towns
such a Harlow and Basildon, were planned in the 1960’s.
Councils could easily build more social housing and borrow
to do at favourably low rates, but many choose not to for a variety of reasons.

Thousands of leaseholders trapped in unsaleable flats due to unsafe clad...





Thousands of leaseholders trapped in unsaleable flats due
to unsafe cladding
Flat owners told their homes could be unsellable for up
to 10 years with unsafe cladding.
Following the Grenfell Tower fire disaster, hundreds of
thousands of buildings were deemed to be unsafe due to the outside wall
cladding.
In 2019, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
brought out the EWS 1 form as a way of grading the safety of tower blocks with
cladding.
The grading certificate was intended for buildings over 18
metres tall with cladding, but this year Government regulations changed.
Mortgage lenders now require the form for shorter buildings as well.
It is estimated that 300,000 buildings that might require an
EWS1. However, there are only 300 inspectors able to carry out the in-depth
surveys, creating a huge backlog.
RICS charge at least £40,000 per building for the EWS1, which
seems extortionate. Another issue is that only the freeholder can apply and
some have refused, even though the cost will be passed on to leaseholder, because
the say it's not a legal requirement.
Peabody, a Housing Association based in London have written
to residents telling them that they think it will be 10 years before they can
get all of their buildings compliant.
Sebastian O'Kelly is the chief executive of Leasehold Knowledge charity -
which supports leaseholders told LBC News that flats are “largely unsellable
now, because mortgage lenders want to know that they are safe, and more sites
can't demonstrate that they are safe.”
"So you've got 900,000 to one million people living in
blocks of flats that are higher than 18 metres which are affected by the
cladding crisis."
Even if the cladding has been removed, the flats are
un-mortgageable without the EWS1.
Leaseholders have also been saddled with enormous bills
running into tens of thousands of pounds to carry out work, as well as paying
monthly costs to employ people to ‘watch’ the building.
Buying a leasehold property is fraught with difficulty and
you should buy freehold property if you can.

Why home repossessions are at a record low





Why home repossessions are at a record low
The number of houses being repossessed by banks plummeted to
a record low in the second quarter of this year, according to Zoopla.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said the “unprecedentedly low
levels” of possessions were due to government measures introduced to help
homeowners by forcing lenders to offer mortgage holidays during the coronavirus
pandemic.
The were no homes repossessed in the three months from April
until the end of June, according to the MOJ. The number of mortgage orders for
possessions dropped by 96% to just 149. Mortgage possession claims fell by 97%
to 161.
Landlord possession claims also fell by 89%.
The government
introduced
a number of measures to enable people to stay in their homes even if
their incomes were hit by the Covid-19 pandemic
after the UK first entered lockdown in March.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) advised homeowners and
landlords in difficulty to apply for a three-month mortgage payment
holiday.  
The government passed the Coronavirus Act, which put a
temporary halt on all repossession activity, initially for three months, and
later until 23 August this year. The government extended
the ban on landlords evicting tenants
on Friday, two days before it was due
to end.
Landlords are unable to start eviction proceedings against
tenants even if they are anti-social or in arrears their rent.
Figures reveal that two million homeowners and landlords
applied for a mortgage payment holiday since the initiative was first launched.
Repossessions and tenant evictions will resume in large
numbers once support measures come to an end, but there will be huge backlogs
and long delays in enforcing court orders.
A tenant could probably get away without paying rent for
another year before an eviction took place.
If your mortgage payment holiday is coming to an end and
are worried about paying your mortgage you should talk to your lender and avoid
burying your head in the sand. Open those letters!
In theory, lenders can voluntarily offer repayment holidays
for a limited period and could accept reduced repayments or switch you over to
an interest-only mortgage, which would substantially cut your monthly payments.
You could ask your lender to extend your mortgage term, which
can make your monthly repayments smaller, although the total amount repaid over
the term would increase.
Low interest rates have prevented hundreds of thousands of
mortgage borrowers from losing their homes since the last financial crisis. In
the previous four recessions, interest rates shot up to record levels and
repossessions and bankruptcies went through the roof.
The trade body, UK Finance, has urged homeowners to resume
full mortgage payments if they can afford to do so, and you don’t really want
mortgage arrears on appearing your credit file.

U-turn on tenant eviction ban as government extends by four weeks





U-turn on tenant eviction ban as government extends by
four weeks
The UK government extended the ban on landlords evicting
tenants in England and Wales today until 20 September in a dramatic last-minute
U-turn hours before the ban was due to end, following fears that up to 243,000
could lose their homes.
In most cases, renters will also get six months' notice if
their landlord plans to evict them until the end of March.
The block on tenant evictions during the coronavirus pandemic
was due to end on Sunday and courts were due to resume section 21 and section 8
eviction cases on Monday after a five-month pause.
The Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick talked of
"supporting renters over winter" adding that, when the ban was
lifted, the most serious cases of anti-social behaviour, other crimes, and
unpaid rent for over a year would be heard first.
Prior to the pandemic, a notice of eviction was normally two
months, but in Wales, that had already been extended to six months until the
end of September and remains under review.
The last-minute reprieve for tenants comes amid warnings by
homelessness charity Shelter that more than 170,000 private tenants have been
threatened with eviction by their landlord or letting agent, and 230,000 in
England have fallen into arrears since the pandemic started.
Ben Beadle, chief executive of the National Residential
Landlords Association, said: "A blanket extension is unacceptable,
especially so close to the deadline. This announcement satisfies no-one.
"Landlords have been left powerless in exercising their
legal right to deal with significant arrears unrelated to Covid-19, anti-social
behaviour and extremely disruptive tenants who make life miserable for their
neighbours and housemates.
"Private landlords cannot be expected to foot the bill
for government failure."
The National Residential Landlords Association is worried
that landlords have been left powerless in dealing with non-payment of rent,
which in most cases is needed to pay their mortgages.
Landlord groups have called for more help in England to
reduce the financial pressures on landlords, in addition to mortgage holidays.
Local authorities would be unable to house thousands of
homeless people at a time when they are struggling to cope with thousands of
illegal migrants crossing the English Channel on small boats every week.
Citizens Advice for tenants
·       
Tenants under threat of eviction should start
gathering evidence such as receipts for rent paid or any communications with
your landlord
·       
Landlords have to give you notice before they
can apply to court for a possession order. For most tenancy types this notice
must now be at least three months in England or six in Wales, but lodgers may
get less notice
·       
If a possession order had already been made
against you before 27 March 2020, then your landlord may apply for this to be
enforced when the ban comes to an end. You should receive 14 days' notice of
the eviction date
·       
Anyone now struggling to pay rent should speak
to their landlord, and organise a repayment plan to pay off arrears
·       
Those receiving housing benefit or Universal
Credit and unable to pay rent might be able to get a discretionary housing
payment from the local council
