Rent Gone Rogue ~ Nightmare Tenants Slum Landlords

The Patels signed a guaranteed rent agreement with a dishonest letting agent who manages their property in Walthamstow, East London, but now there are rent payments overdue. In Wigan, Lancashire, they’ve been complaints of rubbish from council, so agents carry out an inspection of a filthy property. And in Blackburn, Lancashire, a landlord wants his flat back, his tenant is uncontactable, and thousands in arrears
This series follows the eviction specialists whose job it is to tackle tenants who can’t, or won’t pay the rent, and local authority housing offices tasked with going after rogue landlords. We also follow the work letting agents dealing with problem tenants. From a weed farm in a three-bedroom Blackburn semi, to drug addicts in a Blackpool bedsit, to 25 migrants squeezed into a suburban London home, Nightmare Tenants Slum Landlords, delves into dark side of Britain’s housing crisis.

@@ingridakerblom7577 Unless I am very much mistaken, the Courts (County or High Court) in this case have found in favour of the Patels in their claim against the letting agent. He has illegally withheld the rent he has been paid for their property.’ If that statement is correct, why are television programmes such as “Can’t Pay, We’ll Take It Away” and “The Sheriffs Are Coming” allowed to name, and shame, people who owe money to clients - such as this letting agent? And none of this pixelated nonsense regarding the faces of offenders and the name of their business either.

There is also the possibility that he wasn't the owner/director of the company and just a rogue employee, so they wouldn't want the owner suing them for dragging his estate agent through the dirt.

The rogue letting agent was PSL Properties in London, previously ALE Properties (they just covered the letters on the sign). Lots of negative reviews about Ali Hassan, who failed to pay landlords their rent either partially or completely. I guess he didn't want his reputation to get even worse, hence why they had to censor his name! The business is currently Nest Properties Advisors, yet another new name, new sign, but same bad reviews of no rent payments.

[@Alexandra_Hill]

Unfortunately, this is what happens when you rent from a letting agent and they sublet all the rooms as separate lettings, this is a red flag as a tenant and as a tenant, you shouldn't rent a room from a letting agent - it's a chance. Because the tenant's contract is with the letting agent - they have no recourse and part of the court proceedings is that all tenants must vacate.

[@mrjasonsamuel23]

[@HIOP0]

Your "hate" is a very wasteful and pointless emotion, affecting only you and certainly no-one else relating to this type of situation. Also clear that you did not/are not capable of following the primary reason for this action that was taken. In any case how do you know that in the future, a letting agent will show themselves to be the "wrong" appointees, unless like you, they can foretell the future...in which case they would never appoint them in the first place. Come to think of it, if as you seem to be able to do, ie, tell the future, why did you not use your superpower to warm them they were appointing the wrong agent? It was made abundantly clear, that no fault lay with the unwitting tenants and this was backed up by the wife. You are too 5tup1d to breathe.

[@Nailnuke]

I'm a landlord and I agree with you, they were good tenants. I too deal with payments, STD orders only, then your aware early on of problems. To be honest even the good agents don't want to know if there's a problem so you're better off doing it yourself. (I use an agent to give me a list & book prospective tenants viewings and also to carry out "due diligence" then pay him a fee).

[@yuw777]

The bank demands their mortgage payment from the landlord every month and the insurance company does too. The government demands their taxes and fees each month though paid by the year in most cases. The owner has to pay or bank and others will take property. Renters may not be aware of this. The rent helps pay all those bills.

Abandoned property notices on the windows would be an open invitation to squatters

[@Gogetemscoobie]

I rent and id be terrified to not pay my rent or to let my place get dirty etc. I look after it more than if it was my own

[@yuw777]

The landlord will keep a good tenant indefinitely. They are hard to find. Most people that have it together buy own home.

[@ragoyster1089]

I would never be a landlord after seeing the entitlement of some people. They seem to think 'paying your way' is some alien concept that dhould not apply to them.

Wigan hasn't been part of Lancashire for a long time, now. It's classed as Greater Manchester.

Why do u blur out the faces they r slime balls there a comp supp to b guaranteed rent thats why u go thru the agent

[@RandomName-my2uo]

Legally they have to blur out the face

[@timfagan816]

Slime balls, really isn't offensive enough. It's barely even an insult!

[@c.t5136]

I used an agent for a property. They bullied me into tenant demands which were outside the contract restrictions, and let the tenant stay on rent free when i told them to finish the contract, as he breached it. When i returned from abroad, the property was like a squat. That was in Bristol. Appalling. But i caught them with a breach of contract and won. You have to have time and patience, otherwise you'll lose out.

love seeing this series people need to understand that buying housing is to live in not an investment

So what happens to the people who can't afford to buy these houses? Without private rental agreements, and in the absence of enough Council houses, where do they live?

Just found this series, and at a pretty opportune time for me. I've been tossing around going to a cooler climate and doing the RV thing and either renting my house out or doing an Air B&B for travelling medical people for the hospital that's right around the corner. I'm pretty confident that I got my answer!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮

Housing a basic right: ought not to be for profiteering....

[@jacqueline8559]

For that to work, the housing would all have to be Council owned. In private rental, the house is the OWNERS property. They can sell it, or whatever, whenever they need to. Many own these houses, as future pension pots, so sell when they retire. Rightly so !! It's ridiculous to summise that a person can rent someone else's house, and just remain there forever.

[@live_monkey2485]

​@jacqueline8559 evidently, housing is not a 'right'. Someone has to pay for it. The girl in this video was scum.

[@sneakyzzkkk2778]

we had a landlord who refused to do anything we even had a shower that the plumber whos in his 60s has never seen before

[@yuw777]

The landlord should update the bathroom and then raise the rent to cover it as it is now a more desirable property.

So dont the letting agents do inspections. In Oz renters have to have inspections of the home two or three a year and one drive by inspection once a year. The renters are held to the highest scrutiny.

Treating a property like a tip attracts attention, and ignoring warning letters attracts more attention. She only cleaned it up when given the choice of clean it up or be homeless. Also, curtains.

Can I also just say as well I would trust a second hand car from Del Boy or Boycie before I’d take a property off that first letting agent. He’s a dodgy geezer!

I had better shit, one day our landlady knock on door with a letter telling us we need to pay last 6 months rent. We had huge Pickachu face. Asked her to come in, she was pissed, we showed her all bank statements. She apologies prefussly. Couple days latter we found out from her the state agent didn't f ucking pass our rent. They thought landlady will not do anything while they bullshit their way around. She wasn't only one. Agency closed down, court case is still on going 4 years later, she and other landlords didn't get money so far
