Every seven minutes a private renter in England is given eviction notice even though they have done nothing wrong.

These types of eviction notices are controversial and three years ago the government promised to ban them.

But they remain in place.

Apparently Cameron reintroduced it. I didn't know it ever stopped.

That’s what I thought nadaterurbe

I think he was hoping for his Maggie moment

When I first bought my flat, I tried to go to the local housing association, to let it through them. It would have become part of the local social housing. I contacted them several times, each time, only to be told they didn't offer that service to private landlords (I knew they did). In the end, I found my lovely tenant, who has been there ever since.

11 months later, the local housing association contacted me, to ask if I'd like to let my flat through them! I wrote back, with copies of the emails I'd had, denying they used private landlords.

Such incompetence.

How annoying Gagajo but seems to have worked out well.
