@@paddy1144sadly there’s a flip side to that in that some people like myself are great tenants. Landlords often don’t upkeep the material parts of the property yet you have to continue paying full rent. I’d say a lot of them fail in their duties. Ive had to privately rent for over 25 years so can say this with absolute conviction. Add to this, agencies who have stringent rules that allow great tenants to slip through the net on apparent affordability. On paper under their rules, I couldn’t afford to rent many of the properties that I have rented outside of an agency. Never missed a single payment. Never a late payment. Could provide years and years of proof but agencies don’t want to know. No common sense. Proof of earnings and meeting their affordability criteria, doesn’t mean you’ll pay. Proof of having paid consistently does.
