Absolutely correct. Urban is not a democracy.

Of course you have the right to defend yourself but at the moment you're doing the equivalent of saying 'I never done it m'lud' when there's CCTV, fingerprints and a signed confession. Denial is a shit defense.
Can see why you call yourself "The Red Baron"
You have as many rights on here as you would do having a discussion in the pub.
Of course one can still be barred at the discretion of the landlord tho...

You've set out your "defence" repeatedly and at some length.
The jury of your peers doesn't seem to be convinced...

Nasty, brutish and short, just like many of the posters

feck! arse! girls! drink!
2 out of 3 ain't bad, in my case (I'm not short!).
I am short, but not particularly brutish, so 2 out of 3 for me.
I think we should all give up on this thread. Let Diamond think he's "won" if he wants to. You know, just like you let the ranting bloke at the train station think he's won. There's nothing to be gained for anyone else here.

The guardian seemed to have it later than other news sources, according to the times of the articles. It was on the internet from around midday today.
What search terms were you using? 'six arrests aylesbury estate evictions' gave a number of articles including one from last night.

Goodbye to buy-to-let: why I’m moving on after 13 years as a landlady
A harrowing tale of being a BTL landlord and why she has had enough. taking only a 190K profit for her troubles.

I could imagine her back being strained while doing a spot of corrective labour.
(((190K profit))).

She's down for transportation to south georgia for the canals
I don't get where they get 190k from. As far as I can tell, she made 95k profit plus a bit on rent (10k or so).
It's an ok return, but she's had 100-200k capital tied up for 13 years for that, so it's only of the order of 4% p.a. return on capital. For a risky, geared investment. She'd have done better investing in equities or bonds over the same period.

With landlords, as with many other things, it's not their size it's what you do with them

It's surprising how few people realise that most profit comes not from rent but just house price inflation and compared to many other businesses the returns are shit.
The only way to make decent money from property is to have tons of it and employ your own maintenance workers.

capital appreciation has acted as a default subsidy in the property market for a while now- I har of many late entry carpet bagger BTL'ers have to top up their outgoings for their *investment* each month and depend on the costs flattening out and the property rising in value FOREVER
Certainly, if you are going to have 10% of your *turnover* walking out the door to letting agents every month -- as this woman did -- it's not surprising your *profit* will take a massive hit. You have to make 10% profit margin for the agent before you even start for yourself.
The telling part is that this woman didn't even know she wasn't making money on rent until it was all totted up at the end. if you are investing money, you have to understand your incomings and outgoings, not just hope for the best.

That's a shit article, Scottish landlords have had to be registered and vetted by the local council for the past decade. Newham isn't being that groundbreaking.
Shit because of inaccuracies BTW, not the subject.
