Rent crisis: half of renters just a month from losing home 

Greed is not the cause in all cases, however people must take care of themselves, plan ahead, many years living indefinitely still doesn’t mean u own the property!!! Plan for unexpected events such as owner wants to sell!

Bet he’s regretting it now 😂

Good serves him right

Yep greed catches up with you

@@cherryadeyinka6814 yep 😂

We’re a poor country with a small number of very rich people skewing the figures.

There’s plenty of wealth. It’s just in the hands of a small minority who own the media, run the Government and make ordinary people channel their anger at anyone below them on them on the social ladder, preferably those at the very, very bottom. Pathetic.

The royal family and the aristocracy are the rich parts of this country , ordinary people certainly aren't

Most of us are quite poor many people have lots of debt

Not rich. Just richer than most others , all relative.

They aren't luxury. They just charge luxury prices

They expect people to live as roommates to afford the luxury apartments. My current mortgage is less than my previous luxury apartment rent. Gone are the days where one could afford a decent life alone.

Right. I legit google how ppl can afford these apartments cus a lot of ppl work regular jobs.

Absolutely. It's hard for renters when the rent has become like living in a luxury apartment, and the mortgages have become like living in the Hamptons

Yes, when taxes, insurance and other costs increase to a point that owning rental property is no longer profitable a landlord will be forced to sell. The biggest contributor to rent increases and loss of affordable rental property is governments and corporations taking more and more money from the rent equation.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you have found a nice place.

Honestly the landlord should of given it to him. I know this one landlord who is retiring, butt load of cash though. He started giving away his properties at the remaining mortgage.

@@yvonnegrant3736Some owners will take your money but not fulfill their contractual obligations. I have seen cases where the city evicted tenants who paid their rent but the owner didn’t pay the water bill.

She had the rights to live in somebody else’s property which they’ve bought or built with their hard earned money for a whopping 2 decades!!! 20 years!!!😅 I’d say that’s a massive privilege, and to think that the day would never come when she would be asked to leave is gross entitlement! But I bet she’s “strong” and “independent” and “don’t need no man” though 😅

When you are an owner, you can never get too comfortable as well. Did you not listen to the video that explained the owner is selling because of high property taxes?? Listen to the whole story, nothing is sacred, renting nor owning!

In the private rented sector, indeed! That looks a sizable house and likely a nice earner for sale. There are no such issues in council/housing association houses where you can live in the same house for your life and the rent is controlled too.

You are so right.

Exactly what I said out loud even before reading comments.

Absolutely.

She most definitely over stayed

Bingo. That's why so many millennials and now Gen Z all over the world have decided not to have kids or are just kind of forced into. You can't get the basics on your own, so why bring someone else into uncertainty?

27 years old and in the situation as your son. My mom is very worried 😟 right now because she is getting older and things are getting harder.

if you go to the council for housing the top priority is pregnant and from overseas so i dont see how the system is working for us. i know ex army guys who end up homeless and get no help. good luck having kids, most women are gold digger snow bunnies or carpet munchers. its all done by design imo

As a Millennial in my late 30s I have never experienced a stable economy as an adult. I graduated just after the banking crisis, then came austerity, followed by Covid, followed by what we have now. Am I having kids, no way! I can just about maintain my own living costs (at least for now). I heard once that economies usually cycle between boom and bust, that boom part of the cycle sounds like it might be fun to try one day!

Don't have more kids but you'll want someone to look after you when you're old. Would you like your son to abandon you to get paid to look after someone else?

@@bubbajones4522what’s your home country? Are you a Saxon or Dane?

​@@bubbajones4522this is her come country she lives, works and pay taxes

The country is dying.

Bingo. Part of the blame lies with those self same landlords. Many many of them had mortgages paid off but kept increasing the rents to maximise their almost pure profits. Thus leading to a situation where their tenants could never save for a deposit of their own. Now the situation changes and they're complaining. But the thing is they've already extracted tens of thousands of pounds for barely any work themselves. And the sad irony is once they sell up, kicking out their tenants and maybe making them homeless, there's no one else to buy the house other than other bigger landlords.

@@IshtarNike The thing that makes it an interesting topic of debate is landlords are needed as not everyone can afford to buy a house. I'm not sure what the answer is. People say rent control but then if you do that and there's no decent profit to be made, that again would put off smaller buy to let landlords off who purchase with a mortgage. So I guess that would further open up the market to those rich enough to buy places with cash or have a large enough of property portfolio to to deal with the reduced profits until the interest rates lower; although I don't see it going back to as low as it was before. I have no stats to hand but i do wonder what the ratio of buy to let landlords with mortgages vs landlords renting out properties with no mortgages. I'm inclined to think there are more of the former and they're the ones facing financial pressures to increase the rent due to the rising interest rates. Obv I'm not saying that landlords without mortgages don't do the same but i imagine the ones with mortgages have a more pressing reason to do so.

@@moosky7344 You are aware that the 500k figure of immigration includes legal migrants such as students, ones granted work visas, ones who have legal means to apply for asylum e.g. ukrainians etc. your reference to the "hotel accommodation from other continents" is proof that you don't look into the numbers and just repeat stats from your echo chamber. Based on your comment you're probably referring to the ones crossing the channel which is very much the minority of that 500k figure you quoted but you proved my point that the media are successfully convincing people such as yourself that all immigrants are causing the issues in this country.

@@robertjones2053 if they are a sensible landlord, after 20 years they should have paid that mortgage and should have no reason to sell.

I think its rubish how they have this barrier where if you as couple earn 40k ur forced to rent privately. This means they have to go live in private rent which makes it harder for couples to save money to buy their own. Whilst people on small earning having council flat will also never will buy a house. This means only the rich people own it and normal people stay out of reach to buy it.

right to buy is amazing. my friend, an african immigrant, was able to buy her council house. but she works. and she works and she studies to get a better job and she works at weekends and during holiday periods. i am looking at right to buy as my way of owning my own home. i rent but i might not be able to buy my own place. i am saving, but who knows? right to buy is awesome. but we do need to build more homes and stop a million people a year from coming here, legally or illegally.

No! Governments must vnever interfere with the free markets. It always proves disastrous. The Govt failed to build more properties.

Developers are forced to make 20% of UK housing affordable. The problem isn't the "Free Market" but basic economics of Supply and Demand. The UK is an island with limited land which has increased by 10 million people in the past 30 years unofficially estimates put that figure at 20-30 million. Houses prices increased by 140% in the 10 years of Tony Blair which coincided with over 3 million immigrants. Now 26 years later we are allowing some 1 million migrants into the country while building 200,000 houses, ironically the local councils are still able to buy £600,000 houses for refugees. The logical solution to providing affordable housing would be stopping immigration, followed by a house building program. However, what will happen is 2 million migrants, 250,000 Homes and even more free houses for refugees.

@@honeybunch6473those are some seriously ugly tower blocks too. Absolute eyesore. And they want to fill the old golf course with more of that, guaranteed they don’t upgrade the roads to accommodate all the extra traffic, prob just put up some cameras to fine you

​@@honeybunch6473same here in the US. They are only building "luxury" apartments here. A studio starts at 2600.00. We aren't even NYC or Boston. It's ridiculous.

Don't forget insurance rates and association dues skyrocketing as well. Once landlords are forced to sell, corporations like BlackRock will buy them with cash because they don't have to incur the costs of interest or insurance. They pay cash and self insure. This is the globalist plan of "You will own nothing and be happy". I don't believe the happy part.

London has the most to offer in the UK.

Why does the dad have to sell up if she's an adult who wants to move to NI?

@@rewghob because her dad lives with a woman whom she hates, accuses the woman of allowing him to deteriorate with Alzheimer's. I think she got mental problems. She prays for heavy rain, wishes it can rain every day.

@@riyadougla539 "London has the most to offer in the UK." Because you know all about what every other city and town offers, oh wait no, you are talking b0ll0x.

Half these people wouldn't qualify for social housing. They would be way down the list to new arrivals. She has a job and her son also works who lives with her therefore they are very low priority for social housing.

​@@robertjones2053very true but I think what the main comment is highlighting is that these lists that expect abject poverty or urgent necessity shouldn't be operating like this and the government should care more about social housing and put more into it. Landlords picked up the slack and profitted off of people's literal human rights until the government decided to also make that too expensive and so now neither landlords nor the government care about people dying on the street

@@darowchdawg personally do not think it should be a governments job to house you. You create lazy people who rely on the state. You have a right to shelter not to a nice house. I think all council houses and affordable housing should be sold off and none more built. I then think we should have homes where women and children get a room and men live separately. You have to report to the front desk ever morning where you must apply for work and or do a job within the home. No money should be provided only basic needs.

@@robertjones2053 Move to North Korea then mate you'd love it

@@darowchdawg why. I am for less state control. Having council houses is the state controlling you. I am for personal responsibility and choice. What is your problem? Alright then get rid of all state housing and those that fall on hard time live on the street. My idea was to give them the basics. I do not think you understand what the difference is in politics and policy. Which is kind of funny and why we end up like North Korea. All socialism becomes a dictatorship...

this is the state agencies, they fuelled this high rent market as they make 10/15% every month from every rented property, how they are allowed to do this is the question

​@@fernandadavid828she may not be through an agency, could be direct to her landlord

Northumberland is still okay I think. The North East is one of the last counties with enough housing - obviously don’t take my word. I’m a Geordie who lives in Manchester but got family still there.

There are still lots of decent properties from £150k in the north of England. In some areas there are terraced houses for less. The north/south divide in property prices is huge. A one bedroom flat in London would sell for £425k which would buy a 4 bedroom detached house in the north. England is your home, your roots and welcomes you back 🙂

Why does a single person need a 3 bedroom house?

​@@back2the80sa guest bed and an office.

@@AprendeInglesConStephen I'm from Newcastle. I'm living in an Air BNB in Eastern Europe because I were on the streets there. Its just as bad there.

First, it's incredible that the GLOBALISTS have destroyed western civilization. Secondly, she is free to return to her home country where I'm sure the rent is cheaper. This would also free up housing for the native population.

Agree 💯

She’s lived there for almost 20 years come on she wouldn’t of seen this coming

Question: did you ever think you will have to move out?, Answer: No, and starts crying. Amazing how you can read minds. Sure what you say is what's happening here. Not the fact that with her salary and her son's, they cannot find a new place to live, which is the bottom line of the report. The problem, always, is the person who suffers because, according to many, they don't "have a plan B." 🤮

@@greenbanana1001 2 years or 20 years….it’s still a rental ! Not yours !

Yea, embrace socialism and invite more immigrants into the country. That will fix everything.

It seems like we are on the verge of a huge housing crash.

@@markohenry5891 You mean we have too many people

There can't be a crash as demand outstrips supply. You lot are dreaming. Look at the prices of houses they have never been as expensive as they are now

@@anthonyfaucy2761 But no one can afford these inflated prices and only a madman would want to take out a mortgage now

@@realest-12 Thats the point. The government and banks will buy them up and then rent it out instead. Soon you won't even be able to buy or even own a house. The only option will be renting. The Great Reset where you'll own nothing and be happy

That is not true. A survey was done in 2021 for the rent reform bill and found only 9% of private let's were below standard. 11% of social housing was and 7% of owner occupied homes. So they decided condition of property is not specific to private landlords. You can read the report on the gov website but it is like 300 pages long. I have read the whole thing for work... 😂

She is free to return to her home country where I'm sure the rent is cheaper. This would also free up housing for the native population.

Try not to be a SINGLE parent.... don't have kids until u can afford a decent place to raise them

Thats because they have a stable income with 2 breadwinners and were once able to afford the rent and live way more comfortably but now due to the governments' corruption their wages no longer meet the demands of the exact same things they were able to meet a decade or less ago and even if they could it doesn't matter because the landlord is only evicting them because the government and bank of England have made it too expensive to even be a landlord anymore so.... yeah this is definitely all down to the stupidty of people who don't want to buy a house and rent long term. Definitely no other party at fault here lol

Yea, that's quite strange

She lived there for 2 decades man come on. If she was really in that bad of a financial situation she would have been evicted a long time ago

I do find her naivete scary; BUT, she lived there for so long, that she never believed it would happen (I believe; and obviously had a good relationship with the landlord). How many landlords sell up after 20 years? In many cases, you would expect that the landlord has already paid the mortgage, and the worse that can happen, is that the landlord would increase the rent, NOT sell the entire property! A very sad situation. The London housing crisis is crazy.

So right 😮 what were u thinking year after year. Never saved it thought what u would do if owner sold house????

But limited job opportunities and lack of cultural diversity. I’d rather move abroad.

You dodged the real reason i see 😂

This is why u save over the years to obtain your own

@@yvonnegrant3736 Obviously, but what if your wage just covers the rent , looking after old parents , etc and enough left over whereby if you did save the little left over it would take another 15 years just to save a deposit Your return comment is patronising, of course saving is key , but some people don't earn enough, should they be allowed to become passive income for someone else ?

@@thebeesnuts777 save as much as I can. 🛑 Blaming landlord for everything

Seriously? We all have choices, no one forces you to rent and live in someone else's property. You dont like the idea or paying full rent, then do not rent. It's their property, not yours, you can not dictate the rules. This sense of entitlement is very sad. Not every landlord is rich with hundreds of properties renting at high unreasonable rents, a tiny minority may fit that criteria.. The majority of those who rent out properties only have 1. The landlord could have saved for years to buy a property and took years of their own time and money renovating it themselves; or could be bought as their only form of income or pension plan. They could be a single parent who had to move in with relatives and rent it out as they couldnt afford to pay the mortgage. They could live elsewhere and rent off someone else. Or moved in with their elderly or sick parent to look after them and use the rent money as an income. You dont know their situation, plus even if they are rich and have other properties, who are you to dictate the rules and tell them what to do with their property. Are you willing to pay for a new 2k boiler if it breaks down or maintain/repair or replace factors such as plumbing; windows; roof repairs; electrics; new flooring; hob and oven repairs or replacements; any property damage; wear and tear; modernisation; gas safety checks; and taxs, instead? Would you go into a shop and tell the shopkeeper your only going to pay half price for your shopping bill? Put fuel in your car then demand you only pay half; or get a car on rental then demand half the lease cost back? How dare any of these businesses expect a return on their investment. Renting is no different, You pay the rent requested, the landlord covers his mortgage and you get unlimited use of the property without having to worry, sort or pay for any property repairs/maintenance/updates. What's unfair about that?

Same thing in Old San Juan PR. 15 years ago I rented there for $400 and now it's over $1000

Exactly

Family values have detoriated at an alarming rate.

Stoop blaming property owners who have right to sell their rentals

@@yvonnegrant3736 I wasnt "blaming" anyone.

We struggled to buy 35 years ago in CA, and I mean struggled, but it was the best decision we have ever made. Today we could never afford to buy our home since the value is insane.

@@dianehess5520 I also live in California and I've been in our home for about 25 years. I am very thankful that we have this house because my husband passed away October of last year and I could not even rent a one-bedroom apartment for what our mortgage taxes and insurance are. The home is almost paid for

And more will sell due Renters Reform Bill
