Comment on: MPs urge government to scrap council borrowing caps
Gavin- you have admitted being an economic migrant and yet remain critical that Uk accepts economic migrants- and claim thats not double standards -?

Comment on: MPs urge government to scrap council borrowing caps
Gavin-you conveniently miss my main point i.e. your double standards viz a viz immigration-
also FYI-EU citizens do have the right to relocate within member states.
Do you think if we had a simple minded solution-expel all foreigners and corresspondingly have ALL ex-pats sent back to good ole Blightly - that the housing demand would be significantly improved? -
Comment on: MP to continue fight against ‘legal loan sharks’
perhaps Stella and Co can be persuaded to relax the obstacles for setting up credit unions-UK has fewer than any European country & even USA

Comment on: MPs urge government to scrap council borrowing caps
Gavin- -who in thier right mind would search abroad speculatively for employment that was worse than in thier own native land?
the significant difference in your logic is that you have one law for some (i.e. jonnie foreigner) and another one for you- do as I say not as I do
I rest my case- -

Posted in: being evicted
Sorry to hear of your plight Mike- I second above posts- go to the media local and national if possible, go to your local councillor, make a formal complaint, -have you got any evidence of residence at your mum's address- or your previous contact with housing officer who fobbed you off - seems a nasty piece or work- dont move out without a court hearing and lets see if the HO has the guts to face the judge

pity you have declined to state which RSL you work for -why not create a name for yourself on this forum for ease of access? Mr Self righteous maybe?
you are showing classic signs of housing professional delusion in that just because RSL rent ( which increases above inflation every year) is not rip off market rent somehow it's cheap and consequently residents should be happy with thier lot- just like Oliver Twist in the workhouse. Fact is estate where i live was built 92 years ago and the bricks and mortar subsidy has been repaid hand over fist. Current revenues are not being reinvested in the stock but elsewhere in the empire building organisation.
Scrap resident involvement by all means - its a sham-many social providers have staff that are surplus to requirements
I bet my life your schedule of rates is way above what a self employed contractor faced with real competition charges- tenants generally are not getting a good deal from the big procurement contracts signed with big PLC outfits who more often than not sub the wotk out down the line to pissed off badly paid white van man who thibnks soicial housing tenants are all scroungers and does his job accordingly
Housing professionals are not doing tenants any favours- if anything it's vice versa -tenants who are keeping them in a relatively safe and well paid jobs- you need us more than we need you -
Posted in: Tenancy status and mutual exchanges.
Hi Bourbon- when you do a mutual exchange the tenancy stays with the property not the person- so if you swap with a council tenant you become secure and they become assured tenancy.
not sure if fixed term tenancy would kick in but all you got to do is ask your landlord

Response to Anonymous Calm down dear, to answer your points 1- "thier customers" is ok-slightly patronising although I can accept that treating tenants as customers is positive-obvious point is if I dont like Tesco, I wave bye bye and go to Sainsbury etc- but if Mr Tesco is the only shop in town he becomes like my landlord-i'm stuck with him. I am a tenant of a RSL- but I am not a tenant of any of thier staff and if they referred to me as " thier tenant" I would feel insulted- thats my point of you - tough if you dont like it
your point 2- I have had numerous jobs in the private and a few in the public sector. in the private sector if you mess up, 9 times out of 10 you get given your p45 and walk
I know for a fact that more than a few housing professionals ( especially at senior management level) messes up and gets promoted3- you say tenants of your organistaion get a good deal- if so I would consider doing a mutual transfer - who is it pls -

Usual Suspect "a lot want to do the best for their tenants." !! how nauseatingly patronising is that for an attitude amongst housing professionals- some of whom wouldn't last a week in a real competitive job where if you piss off your customers they vote with thier feet-tenants are stuck more often then not with thier landlord. There are good housing professionals no doubt but they know which side thier bread is buttered- what housing professional is going to put thier job on the line and put the tenant's interest before senior managements?
