Tenants From Hell Part 2 | How My Buy To Let Property Was Used As A Dog Kennel | Real Landlord Life

[@chriswalsh7346]

Its an absolute disgrace that the law allows tenants to abuse a landlords property like this. They should be named and shamed and their pictures put on social media to warn other landlords to steer clear.

[@new2property]

Hey Chris, Thanks very much for watching and for your support.

[@chrissz1762]

It's disgusting how tenants can be like that pathetic.

[@KidsFunTimeUK]

Hi Chris..I feel for you as I am a private Landlord too and I am feeling really upset after watching this video.Its disgrace how the law is protecting this filthy Tenants these days,despite being the nastiest Tenant like these your Tenant have been..This looks thousands of pounds damage....I m sure there will be very small amount of deposit and it won't even be worth compare to damages.

[@rachelcohen4441]

I'm going through the exact same thing at the moment. Am selling after we get him out. Let the shit hit the fan.

[@new2property]

Hi Rachel, Thanks for watching and for dropping a comment. Good luck, it won’t be easy but you’ll get there.

[@sherifadel1367]

It is shocking. Can’t believe government and law are on the tenant’s side all the way. This is destroying BTL. No wonder a lot of landlords are retiring!

[@new2property]

It`s mad Sherif, no other scenario would allow someone to destroy someone's property and there be no consequences. Thanks very much for watching and for your comment.

[@rebelzombieco]

@@new2property surely it’s criminal damage when it’s willful? No reasonable family lives like this and over 9 months it has to be considered neglect of the property. Failing to prevent damage or inflict damage, even if by omission of action is no excuse. My blood boils when I see this. It’s unacceptable.

[@new2property]

Hey @@rebelzombieco I couldn't agree more, I`ve never known anything like it, they can basically do what they want and get away with it. It's criminal yet of no interest to the law enforcers.

[@peteraustin4077]

You should have contacted the RSPCA when you first found the dog crap in the property. There should be a national data base for landlords on teneants from hell.

[@sshah3324]

Kitchen is fine because they were not using it only chippies

[@new2property]

Hi S Shah, Thanks for watching, your probably right on this one.

[@footballcoachandreferee]

Not good and incredible how some people live. Great video and real insight into what can happen in BTL. The saving grace for you Dan, is that you will sort it and no doubt the place will look back to its spick and span look when you have finished it. The learning curve for me on this is, what if you are NOT a full-time property investor and you have to deal with this sort of problem outside of your area and your property is miles away! Now that would be a total nightmare and really stressful.

[@new2property]

Hey Steve, Good to hear from you, you are not wrong, it was stressful enough with it being close by let alone at a distance. I think the big learning here for me was to be far more involved in tenant referencing and not to trust a letting or referencing agent to be as thorough as they should be.

[@cacac7032]

So sorry this happened to you. Any chance of a video on how you propose to deal with / prevent this in the future. All the best 👍

[@new2property]

Hey Callum, Thanks for watching and for your comment, I will do for sure, I`m currently recording Part 4 getting the money and will make this part 5. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@diligentlettingsltd]

It's absolutely shocking the way some tenants leave their properties - dog faeces embedded into the floorboards - what a nightmare for you! We've seen one or two in our time in East Lancashire so we try & keep a handle on it the best way we can by visiting our tenants very regularly. Not easy though as previous commenters have said if the landlord doesn't live in the area. Btw saw your video on Facebook Property Investor boards so we thought we'd say Hi!

[@new2property]

Hi Diligent lettings LTD, Thanks very much for watching, for your comment and for dropping in to say hi.

[@diligentlettingsltd]

@@new2property Thanks very much to you too!

[@rebelzombieco]

Thanks for sharing, understanding the worse case scenario is helpful! Thanks.

[@new2property]

You are more than Welcome Stu, gotta keep it real and all that.

[@1three7]

I still can't believe how insanely biased the law is against property owners. There's almost no reason to even pay rent except your own integrity. All the laws protect them from the contract they agreed too.

[@new2property]

Hi TheAlamadu you are absolutely correct, its mad, if someone walked into a shop and left without paying they would be prosecuted anyone can sit in a property and not pay and the owner be in the wrong. Thanks for watching and for dropping a comment.

[@YoiAmGucci]

What a weird couple they were... Should be a register for terrible tenants. Not even a landlord myself but its disgusting people can behave like this.

[@new2property]

Hey YoiAmGucci, Thanks very much for watching and for your comment, I completely agree there are decent people out there looking for nice homes and these type ruin it for everyone.

[@victoredwards3959]

I will simply break down and cry , this is so painful. You worked so hard , you are a nice landlord, you simply do not deserve this . But on the positive side. You seems relax about it. This will put me off for life.

[@new2property]

Hey Victor Edwards, I was bubbling inside some days I can assure you of that, but what can you do hey, just gotta et on with it? Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@Bekindloveis]

How can they paint the place & knock holes into the walls? If they can do all these & get in pets breaking all the conditions of the lease is anyone surprised they didn’t pay the rent? Cos they have no sense of Responsibility 😮

[@MrCybernick]

Hey Man in sorry for your loss... Been in a similar situation....

[@new2property]

Hi Nicholas, Thanks very much for your kind words and for watching it`s appreciated.

[@amuthanshan]

So the tenants left before the possession date, so you did not have to request a Warrant of Possession (N325) which would have used bailiffs to evict them. You are lucky as I hear the waiting time for bailiffs is several months as bailiffs can only probably evict 1 or 2 properties a day as the physical process of evicting tenants can be very time consuming and slow.

[@craigscothern5100]

What landlords need is a register of all bad tenants who fail to pay their rent, abuse the property and disappear. This register will include all their ailiases and fictional referees.

[@new2property]

Hi Craig, Your not wrong, however, I can`t see this happening anytime soon. Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment.

[@jr-life]

Thanks for sharing, we face non payment for 6 months, not served eviction yet..

[@new2property]

I feel for you, good luck I appreciate how stressful it is.

[@anjumf1]

Hi Dan, once again very interesting video. I have one question. In this episode, you said that the tenants were not supposed to have dogs in the property. Was that in the tenancy agreement? If so, wouldn’t that of speeded up the eviction because they were in breach of their tenancy agreement?

[@new2property]

Hi Anjum, Yes that`s correct it was stated in the agreement that no pets were aloud without prior consent, however, this had no effect on the speed at which I could evict. Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to comment. Have a great day

[@chrissz1762]

Just amazing how people can destroy other people's property and don't even care that tenants can be so horrible. I hope you can recoup as much money back as possible. Garnish their wages put a lean on them ruin the rental history. Good luck to you.

[@new2property]

Hi Chrissz, Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment, I`m still collecting £250 pcm at the minute so all god so far, I just hope it continues.

[@chrissz1762]

@@new2property You're welcome. I hope things work out for you and it only gets better. Enjoy the rest of your day😊

[@TheZenlot]

Hey, thank you for the video. Really helpful. One question, was the eviction during active tenancy agreement or the contract has already ended? And would that make any difference / easier to evict the tenant if the contract has ended?

[@new2property]

Hi TheZenlot, Thanks for watching and for dropping a comment. The tenancy was active and no it wouldn't have made any difference, they would have always been evicted going via the same route and it would have taken the same amount of time.

[@tonypeirson6282]

Is it possible to have tenants sign a lease agreement that removes some of the ridiculous rights they have if they don't pay? Is this legal to do? Any tenant that intends on playing fair should have nothing to fear by signing it should they??

[@new2property]

Hi Tony, Unfortunately not tenants are very well protected and those that know the system sometimes play it and have it work to their advantage. Far from ideal I know. Thanks for watching and for your comment

[@stuartworby2910]

I'm currently going through the same situation as you. I have followed government rules exactly and they have one more week until section 8 expires. How and where do you send the section 8 to court? Wish you the best in future!

[@new2property]

Hi Stuart, I`m really sorry to hear that you are in the same boat. If the tenants remain in the property post notice you will then need to apply to the court unfortunately, there is a whole heap of information and paperwork that you`ll need to get in order before submitting your application, it sounds like its time to find a professional to work with, the court will through the case out for the smallest of things so best to get it right. I hope this helps

[@stuartworby2910]

Thanks for your reply, I feel I have got all the paperwork in order so that's fine. One thing I dont understand is, if the judge evicts the tenants, do you automatically get a money order against them? As I know my tennant works, so does the judge put a attachment of earnings against them or do you have to go through small claims process. Thanks, really enjoy your videos. Just one more question, have you ever considered commerical rental?

[@new2property]

Hey @@stuartworby2910 The judge will issue a possession and money order, however, this doesn't actually action anything other than a letter to the tenants. You will then have to wait 14 days or for the date that they have been told to evict by, if they then don`t go you`ll need to instruct the bailiff`s to have them removed, this comes at an additional cost and isn't cheap. Once they are out you will then need to apply for an attachment of earnings, I`m currently working through this now. Before you start the process let me know as I have some advice to help you speed things up. I a recording my journey of trying to get the money back but it`s a long and slow process so I`m not sure when I`ll be done. I have considered commercial and will possibly go down this route in the future at some stage. Thanks for watching

[@stuartworby2910]

Thanks for taking time to reply, you must have your work cut out with everything! With regards to your answer, you mentioned that there is a quicker method with the process of eviction, or do you mean a faster process to issue an attachment of earnings? Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together, I can see your a hard worker you deserve all the glory for your hard work. 👍👍

[@new2property]

Hey @@stuartworby2910 I meant that the attachment of earnings process is a real pain, they have come back to me 3 times now asking for the form to be edited and everytime I get put to the back of the queue meanings they take 10 days to reply. I meant that I can tell you where I have gone wrong with completing the form when you get to it which will hopefully save you the wait time of them coming back to you.

[@1codinglife51]

What a nightmare 😡, difficult to understand the mindset of these people. Hopefully its the last bad tenants you have for a while 👍

[@new2property]

Hey This Coding Life, Thanks very much for commenting and for watching, the situation was really stressful but all sorted now, next weeks video will show you the refurb, the property is let again now thankfully.

[@MarcusT86]

Please tell me this is like your 10th property and all others pay on time, are good tenants, etc. Edit: Should have listened before commenting... this is your 15th property. That paints it in a better light if it's taken this long to get scum of the earth tenants like this. Still, only once this would need to happen and I'd want to torch the house with them inside.

[@new2property]

Hi Marcus, Thanks very much for watching and for your comment. Yes, luckily I have others that are paying so it could be worse.

[@KidsFunTimeUK]

Chris my Tenant have not let me in my property since last 14 months for inspection and she keeps damaging property and reporting to Council and they issued.me Notice to repair property, despite me telling them,she is damaging it on deliberately to put barrier in my way for serving her Notice.Council don't care, what I m telling them,regarding damages.Council tells me to fix it without doing inspection of these damages.I think this is disgrace. Please give me some advice re access to property.

[@new2property]

Hi Kids Fun Time UK, Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment. I would suggest that you instruct an eviction specialist to help you with getting the tenants out, if they know the system you`ll need a pro on your side. I really feel for you, good luck.

[@buchyu]

Hopefully you have pictures at time of check in. Despute the notice with Council and provide photos to evidence condition the property was given in, stating tenant has caused malicious damage. Start eviction proceedings s21 (while still available). Get letters from contractors saying they were unable to get access which can also be sent to Council

[@chrisman714368]

Use vinal only, tenants don't deserve good floors

[@new2property]

Hi Chris, Thanks for watching, I disagree with your comment everyone deserves a nice, safe home to live in, until they treat one like these tenants did, karma will sort them out.
