You have a bit of a logic fail. Good landlords comply with the law - if they pass the costs onto the tenant then it doesn't hurt the landlord. If tenants want protection and a good habitable place to live they will pay for it.
You find a property below market rates something will be amiss.

I can understand the burden of regulation falls on the Landlord to comply and many get frustrated in now having to do the duty of the Home Office. A number of these new legislation passed are in part due the failure of government to sort the problems out but in a twist of irony they are the same ones that bang on about small government and then when the Government reduces its responsibility it doesn't disappear it falls onto their shoulders. RWR fail to understand the absence of government doesn't mean the absence of responsibility or cost.
Tenants are being given more rights because the Government is not helping increase the building of new homes so one way is to provide tenants with greater security.
The laws currently in place and incoming are becoming more and more adversarial by their nature, designed to pit tenant against landlord - why? - business for the courts. This is primarily what it's about, stealth taxing the target (private landlords). It's got ZERO to do with protecting vulnerable people. If it were about protecting vulnerable people the council itself would cease sinking families into debt further by subbing out debt collection to private companies that use bully boy tactics and extortionate rates to rinse already struggling people of what's left. It's about money, NOTHING MORE.
And again, a conscientious person will make sure their tenants are happy. They don't need to be forced. Rogue landlords will continue to be rouge and flaunt the legislation. You would be surprised how powerless the LA really are concerning private rental matters, and this is what your matey boy Corbyn doesn't understand either. Even if the council has a fee incentive it's not the same as a parking ticket or penalty charge notice, evidence collection requires man hours, most councils already are in debt in the millions due to criminal behaviour of those involved in taking out LOBO loans on 'behalf' of the tax payer. It's already a desperate situation with most of what is paid in council tax every month going to private money lenders. That's where your money goes, not on services.
Soon I suspect they will subbie out all the housing officer roles, so that will be a private company (with zero authority) trying to push debts where they have no legal authority. It already happens with CT, parking tickets, why not housing enforcement as well. Behaviour will continue to worsen until they are literally forcing their way into private premises with clipboards looking for the absence of a smoke detector or a flue not sticking out far enough.. and funnily enough your beloved migrants will be seen scuppering from every nook like woodlice from an upturned bit of wood. Like almost every policy from the hard left it brings the standard down for everyone, making the poor worse off and making the 'just comfortable' desperate. Do not talk to me about Karl Marx and Engels. And don't talk about how bad landlords are because you are jelous you never made it in the game, and that goes for John and whoever else.
Also don't come running about people paying too much in rent because over-regulation is a direct factor in it. You can't have it both ways. Rent caps have not worked either as has been trialled extensively in the states.

The prisoner landlords trapped in buy-to-let deals

Full of errors as usual.
I am a landlord so I am in the game. The current Gov has brought in the extra stamp duty on second properties and removing of tax relief on loan interest for landlords. The current Gov and they are doing this in healthcare as well do not want small operators or the single guy - so they bring in regulations and rules which make it more and more onerous being a small operator but not if you operate at scale.
Austerity cuts by the government forced Councils into raising more money themselves and trying to cut costs so they are encouraged to privatise delivery at the lowest cost - to hell with the consequences. What happens is the eventually the service is so badly run it is brought back into public ownership as one health service did with Ambulance service. You are railing against the ideology in which you believe in - how stupid is that?
Beloved migrants? I am not the one in control of immigration - so again you are hitting out at anything as usual in another anger driven post.
I will educate you where you need - I know that's in a great deal of cases but hey I like tough challenges. Did I just expose one of your close held beliefs about Marx? Little knowledge is dangerous and its a weapon in the hands of DUMBos.
If the absence of regulations bought standards down then using that obtuse logic the lack of regulations would create a nirvana - any third world country would provide enough evidence. But do keep banging this drum - its the call sign of *******.

Incredible arrogance from Rigsby-Hawk.
a feeble attempt by hawk to support his opposition to the "homes should be fit for human habitation" bill
You need to calm down, stop inventing things that people didn't say, take a pill, have a cup of sweet tea, then have a nice lie down. But lock this thread first.
With your incoherent rambling, I'm embarrassed for you.
P.S. Where's the postcard from Benidorm, Knowall?

and you respond whining about
you've had a bit of time now. Have you been able to think of an excuse for your stupidity?
How can there be stuff like this left in a housing crisis? Madness
4 houses a couple of hundred meters from my own house.
