New laws aimed at protecting tenants' rights have sparked concerns among landlords, who fear they could be left with a nightmare of a neighbor. Under the proposed changes, landlords may face significant hurdles when trying to remove problematic tenants, potentially leading to increased rent arrears, damage to properties, and even safety risks for other residents. Landlords are warning that the new laws could create a culture of impunity, where tenants feel they can flout the rules without consequence. As the UK government pushes forward with the reforms, landlords are speaking out about the potential consequences of these changes.
Landlords tell BBC News why they fear new laws could make it harder to remove problematic tenants.
