I was aware that he has proposed a right to buy scheme and possible rent caps for private tenants but a caller on the radio just said that JC has also mentioned eradicating deposits and rent to be paid in arrears. Is this right?

Corbyn: Dangerous, But No Hero
Tells you all you need to know about this man and his mates. What a nasty piece of work he is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAp54BeTa5s The far-left posters on here won't watch this of course. |

Oh, yes, Ann Marie Morris. Tory MP who was suspended for using the racist slur n***** in the House Of Commons.
Right wing Tory whose voting record in the House speaks volumes, particularly in that she consistently voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability. And Tom Bower, who's career as a writer is solely based on unauthorised ' dishing the dirt ' biographies of ' famous' people. He's currently writing one on Boris Johnson. |

Corbyn will say whatever he thinks will be welcomed by tenants in order to secure their votes.
What he would implement with the responsibility of power, and the consequences of his actions on his shoulders is a different matter altogether. We've seen before with his lies over students fees at the last election, how he's prepared to say one thing then go back on his word. |

Rough sleeping doubled over the last 10 years. Horrible story about young disabled Tom from Weston Super Mare on All Out Politics just now. You could see Adam Boulton was visibly moved and close to tears.

Three landlords own over one thousand properties each in Weston-super-Mare.
Most of their rent is paid (indirectly) by the taxpayer through LHA claimants. Because of tax-breaks, they put very little back into the exchequer. Unfortunately, Corbyn is not proposing the obvious remedy for the broken housing market: rent should be taxed at source as unearned income. |
|
By:
Seriously what tax breaks? I think you're talking BS with that one. I looked into buy to let 2/3 years ago and I didn't think it was a good idea. It may have been in the past, but that doesn't mean it is now.
When building large housing developments, developers have to make available some homes for social housing. If there was some way of doing the same with landlords that might be an idea. I totlally agree housing is a big issue. Imo it's more important to spend money on housing than on the NHS, education or policing at the moment. But you have to be realistic. That means building them where there are jobs, and by experienced contractors. And most importantly, a zero tolerance approach to uillegal immigaration like Australia |
|
By:
The case of Tom from Weston Super Mare is a disgrace. But if he is losing out because homes are going to immigrants ahead of him that is a bigger disgrace

By:
^^It was perfectly feasible until recently to offset all rent against loan interest thus paying no tax. Although that is being dealt with for individuals, limited companies can still do so.
|
|
By:
That's not a tax break. It's a legitimate expense that is being phased out. I agree that it should be phased out fwiw. There is also a 3% levy on stamp duty for buy to let. I also agree with that fwiw. But it's an extra tax burden, so the opposite of a tax break.
|
|
By:
If I borrow money to buy shares I don't get tax relief to offset tax due on dividends against the interest. If I borrow money to buy a property for rent I do (although being axed). That is a quite obvious tax break.
|
|
By:
I'd consider it a business expense myself, but I understand your point. Buying shares is not a business expense as you are not involved in the running of the company. We'll disagree on that, but I do agree that in the currenbt situation it is rightfully being phased out.

Yes, fifteen is the magic number of properties a landlord needs to register before she can call it a limited company. "Since April 2017, tax relief on mortgage interest has been gradually phased out. By April 2020, you won't be able to deduct any of your mortgage expenses from rental income to reduce your tax bill. Instead, you'll receive a tax-credit, based on 20% of your mortgage interest payments." Do you prefer the word credit to break, Clydebank? |
|
By:
If three landlords in Weston Super Mare own 1,000 properties (have my doubts, but let's assume they do or close to it and it is common place nationwide) I'd do something like this:
Insist that some housing is rented out at reduced rents for social housing and then give them some form of exemption from Capital Gains Tax on the sale of some of those properties to compensate. |
|
By:
8 to 10 million extra to house what do you expect thanks Blair and the tory spivs
none of them have built anything to scratch this figure BOTH LOTS have sat there like stunned rabbits Labour thinking they will get millions of extra votes and tory boys, nice cheap labour for farms and sandwich factories |
|
By:
All that is required in the rental market is fairness and professionalism. Investors deserve a return on capital and remedies for bad tenants. Tenants deserve a secure basis to live their lives in decent conditions.

By:
The klondyke decades have provided landlords with more than enough, so compensation should not really be an issue.
Make landlords responsible for Council Tax too. Such a commonsense vote winner, it would be nice if it were to be in the Labour manifesto but I'm not hopeful. Opportunity going begging. |
|
By:
I don't believe in changing the goalposts. If you want something done, it's better achieved by working together, rather than saying fcuk you. Plenty of people had the option to become landlords. A few did, and as it happens, thanks to huge house price rises in some areas, they are very much quids in. Had the market dived, like in Japan, would they be bleating claiming a payout. No, ofc not.
Somepeople have made a fortune buying Bitcoins. They could've lost the lot. Retrospective actions on historical profits are testament to state theft |

That did make me chuckle, Clydebank. From the rate-tarts bailed out in '07 from their investments in Icelandic casino-banks, to the PPI claims culture, to the current campaign in the Daily Mail for compo for Woodford Fund investors, the whole idea seems to be that some of us must be too middle-class to fail. |
|
By:
Anyway, you were the one advocating measures that require compo for landlords. Not required. The market is perfectly capable of correcting itself once a few basic actions are taken.

I see UB's still fuming over missing out on the renting boom.
It's no good crying over spilt milk my old chum, you missed the boat and that's that. And don't forget it was your Labour party that made it all possible, with its mass immigration policy and no plans to build more houses to put them in. |
|
By:
Wtf should we cover more of this cluttered isle with houses to make room for foreigners? Huge farmland housing developments going on round here
 |

By:
Ah, here's a landlord, Dr Crippen.
How much rent is paid to you? Are you set up as a limited company? How much corporation and personal tax did you pay in your best year? |
|
By:
There's a load of new housing and regeneration round here. The local economy is booming (think it's got the highest employment growth in the country). House prices are mental here at the moment mind. Not great for youngsters
 Labour are going to make illegal immigration legal so they are going to need that £400bn just to house them. Fecking idiots |

We spent £100k building an annexe in our back garden for my children
Fell out with our neighbours in the process. Lying barstewards didn't win though. |

VULTURE FUNDS making it impossible for KEY WORKERS 10 YEAR RENTS GUARANTEED,ONLY ONE INCREASE ALLOWED AT SET LEVELS SOCIAL HOUSING ON EVERY NEW BUILD ESTATE SMASH THE MIDDLE |
|
By:
From experience on my own street, most renters care nothing about the outside of their houses, people who buy a new home do in the main. I see trouble looming the more they place them next door to each other.
|
|
By:
I'd say the outide of the house is the landlord's responsibility saddo. As long as it's not gypsies you should be ok.
|
|
By:
It is true that owner care more for their properties than renters.
Which is why the Conservative vision of one half of the country working to pay rent to the other half sitting on their hands must be a bad thing. Apart from anything else, it makes the landlord complacent, inactive and conceited. Look at Dr Crippen. |
|
By:
Thatcher's vision was to increase home ownership and that was continued by Blair. Problem is lack of house building and a big population increase has led to a huge increase in property prices putting them out of reach of my children's generation

|
By:
Of course. Your children are not going to be able to outbid a landlord who can effectively avoid paying tax by buying more properties!

I wouldn't buy a property round here if I was a landlord ub. Returns are dreadful
