my nephew just got 2 months roughly £800 on a £395pcm rent and he paid a month up front ( very nice 2 bed flat )
as to the **** landlords tenants in these bond schemes have a good lever themselves in that they can always call on the council to send enforcement notices too get work done or risk loosing access to the bond for those or further tenants
i never understood landlords who dont look after their properties but it should be getting harder and harder for them to get away with it as to rent out you need a raft of certificates for gas and other things
it needs the tenants to report things as they go wrong and for others to if they wish report buildings to the council especially if you think they are packing to many into a bad house as the fines for not getting registered and therefore hopefully the house checked for multiply occupancy can lead to heavy fines now!
