Government to ban rental bidding and end no-cause evictions

>It will also limit rent rises to once a year, up from the current limit of once every six months. So they double the amount they raise it and tack on an extra 10% to cover whatever lack they have from having to wait so long. >Under the Government's planned changes landlords will have to provide some reason to end the tenancy - including selling the property, demolishing it, or changing how it is used You don't need a reason to do whatever you like with your property. It's *yours*, that's the point. >They will also be able to use a new "anti-social behaviour" clause to move on problematic tenants if three complaints are received about the tenant's behaviour in a 90-day period and an application is made to the tenancy tribunal. Again, tell you what you can and cannot do with your own property. >Rent being paid more than five working days late three times or more in a 90-day period would also be a valid reason, although this too would require a trip to the tribunal. WAT? You have to have a third party to evict for paying late? So much for mutual consent. >When a tenancy is ended for a valid reason, such as a landlord selling a house, they will now need to provide 63 days of notice - up from 42. There isn't a home owner on the planet who can guarantee that kind of foresight. You don't get to know that it's going to be sold 2 months before it closes. Christ, these people are stupid. Pretty sure home rentals are gonna drop like rocks.
