1 reason why tenants are ASKING to be made homeless

from The Property Nomads Podcast · host Rob Smallbone & Aaron Devoy

Rob discusses a surprising trend where tenants are requesting to be served with Section 21 notices by their landlords in order to access council housing. The episode highlights the reasons behind this trend, such as the rising rents in the private rental sector compared to council housing. Rob also delves into the implications of this trend on both tenants and landlords, emphasising the financial benefits for tenants seeking more affordable housing options.  KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a surge in tenants asking to be made homeless in order to access council housing. More tenants are requesting landlords to serve them with Section 21 notices to increase their chances of getting council housing. Rents in council housing are typically lower than in the private rental sector, making it a more affordable option for struggling tenants. Some tenants may be voluntarily asking for eviction to create a win-win situation for themselves and their landlords. The housing sector in the UK is facing a shortage, leading to councils placing tenants in temporary or emergency housing before finding more permanent solutions. BEST MOMENTS "More and more tenants are asking their landlords to serve them with Section 21 notices... so that they can access council housing." "Rents increased year on year 11.4% in 2022, and then 8.2% in 2023." "We're seeing more and more tenants requesting landlords to serve as Section 21 because they've had advice from their council on the process to get council housing." "Councils are also desperate... there needs to be big reform... in order to increase the supply of housing."
