@@Life-awakened Very true. I rent privately. My rent went up by £100 pcm last year. I'm beyond worried what will happen this year as i simply can't afford it. Everywhere's so expensive. It's really concerning. 😔

Ainsworth Lord are terrible agents. I rented from them. Had terrible problems with damp & they did nothing to help. The property was unfit to live in. I had to hand my notice in & they refused to refund my holding deposit. I always paid my rent on time. After I left, the owner had the whole place sorted with the money that was withheld from me. Shocking!
I agree John is awesome. I like the slang used over there like taking a piss or bloody, etc. being swear words even cursing is polite there and there's no obscene words like no mother f'ing or worse coming out of people's mouths left and right I really like that wish we had that here.
I’ve always been a great tenant, pay my rent on time, clean, considerate and good to my neighbours. It’s not difficult. Why there are so many people are bad tenants I don’t know.
Me to Bro 7years in the same place,you just need act like Human not a f.... brainless parasite,some of these people have money for branded clothes, alcohol, cigarettes and other things but they don't have money for rent, funny and pathetic
The "Guaranteed Rent" thing should be a red flag. They are saying that they guarantee rent payments even if the tenant hasn't paid their rent. It's not sustainable and doesn't even make sense
Those tenants do not pay rent. The government pays their rent with tax dollars taken from people who actually work, which raises the rent prices everywhere. That is not sustainable but leftwing politicians will give their nations away to gain/keep power.
There were some downright horrible people renting a house privately opposite me. The kids were feral, smashing car windscreens, ransacking front gardens, screaming in the street in the early hours, ambulances kept turning up because the father kept overdosing on drugs, mother done for assault and shoplifting, kept going to the neighboursto ask if they could charge their phones becausethey hadn't any electric, threw stones at my front door and broke the glass in it........what's WRONG with these people? They ain't right in the head. Took the landlord 8 months to get them out and he had to hire a skip to get rid of all the rubbish they'd left in there. Someone else has the misfortune to have them in their street now.
yeah i mean when the building is looking the way it looks and the rent is cheap as chips you only attract one type of person, where as if the rent was higher and the building/ grounds were well maintained it would be a different story
5:00 It's simple, the guy in the dressing gown is a bully. He picked on the young lady landlord because he knew he could get away with it. Now I know how these shows work, the stitch and match different parts together to make whoever look bad. But even so, the woman looks stressed to breaking point, and that isn't somewhere anyone should be.
He was never more than 2 months behind on rent. She was making money out of him. You can't just pick and choose tenants after you've signed a tenancy contract.
@Dantheman87 do you know how renting works? You ALWAYS pay the first month in advance, or 2, depending on whether you want a bond. And then you pay at the end of each month. So if he's 2 months in arrears, that's breaking the conditions of the terms. He's a bully pure and simple.
I think Alex is a bully. Putting the waterworks and poor acting. People do fall behind for various reasons. Just because these are "not perfect" she wants to kick them out before the end of tenancy and leave them on street without enough time to even find new accommodation
@@katinazisI'd query how much effort he's made to communicate that he can't afford to pay. We all fall on hard times and I pray that my landlord is forgiving if the worst happens
Glad I own my house, because before that I never met an honest landlord - then the landlords next door always dodged responsibilities regarding the damage caused by their previous tenants.
Sorry to say there are more bad tenants then landlords. Last house we rented we were scared of the tenant living above us. That guy was a crazy guy. 1 time he got angry to some person mistakenly parked at his place and this guy went and broke his car. Also 1 night there were 15 - 20 police officer trying to get to him and he locked himself in the flat. Giving life threatening warning to police and also telling of killing himself and also telling to blow everything off. . It's because of him we left the apartment.
I’m feel so sorry for the landlord that had to go to the high court in London. Twice. I hope she has a positive outcome. Has compassionate and respectful tenants. Maybe a family or elderly couple. Like the elderly woman previously living in such a dreadful flat. Were she experienced such dreadful neighbour. I apologise for the length of this comment. 😢😮(😊😊❤❤❤❤).
OR they need to get rid off all funking greedy Landlords. That's capitalism greed for you hege funds black rock van gard black stone all living in Israel a America..
37:48 British taxpayers are the true victims. They pay for these people to not work and live a better life than many can afford for themselves, while their presence causes the cost of living to ever increase. That is to say nothing of the crime and decreased quality in every aspect of life.
Agreed - all rent paid by the council - no it is paid by hard working people! Remember when in all weather you are trudging out to work every day they are snoozing in bed
stop talking shit. Ritch landlords are paying 000tax while people on middle class working classes can not afford when rents keep going up?wages are not going up?
@jeannemillsom9300 ,Yes you are correct there. We unfortunately have a neighbour who behaves abominabley and whines the old mh card,honestly they are a nightmare with no thought, but for themselves.
They also use it a cover-all excuse for God awful behaviour, forgetting all the people out here with "mental health" who continue to function, pay rent and bills, and who don't use it as an excuse for anything. Many of us deal with mental illness behind closed doors. I'm always immediately sceptical of anyone who, the moment you meet them, gives the "speech" and then continues to be shitty with no attempt to change. Dude, it's not your mental health, you're just an awful human being.
Wow. You are very fortunate. In Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦, landlords raise the rent every year and once a person moves out or if any work is done to the place, they can increase it to whatever they wish. One small bedroom averages $2300-3,500 monthly. People are struggling badly. Groceries are super costly. Wages are low. Takes forever to kick someone out and say goodbye to years of back rent. What are the average rents there?
Cannot edit for some reason so adding that if ones apartment is new, the landlord can only increase the amount of the rent over the cost of living set by government yearly by a percentage. It's alot still. Once someone leaves the LL can increase it to whatever he/she chooses. There are basically no apartments to rent at any one time. Here anyway. It is sad that so many are homeless despite working, as the costs are unaffordable. Stay where you are if you have a house.
She’s a nervous wreck & you can see why! People can be so absolutely horrible it boggles the mind the courts side in favor of these a-holes! It’s not right!
39:17 They’re already getting free rent from council, and now the taxpayer has to pay for their cleaning as well? They can’t even clean up after themselves?
They should never be allowed to rent again and put on a list like we have here now. Do not rent to: and there's a do not rent from lists. Likely goes on their credit report.
It’s very similar in Australia 🇦🇺 we sold our unit we had 7 people in a small 2 bedroom unit it wasn’t worth the headache we put down new floor covering curtains and painted it the stove was that filthy we threw it out I’m glad we sold it now we have our life back
Your Council Tax pays their Rent!!! They are all fit men - they should be working!! In my parents days it was considered BEGGING and CHARITY to accept benefits. It must be used very temporarily in case of emergency!! Not as a way of life. People have no dignity.
Don't know if there re jobs there. None where I am. Ive moved for good jobs before and left everyone I knew but most times people won't leave their family as long as their bills are paid by another entity.
The problem is what you've said is also not on, these guys are taking the piss but taking benefits is not begging. If I didn't have UC coming in my salary wouldn't cover all the bills without leaving us destitute and unable to even take the kids swimming once a month.
Blood is hell to shift. When its fresh and when its dry present different problems. Typically you have to replace it and if your paying someone elses mortgage you're not incentivised to do that.
The court system is completely backward. Best to pay someone just to remove them and fuck the law, let them sue. Time it makes it through the court, you get a fine and then say you’ll pay £5 a week on it. The law is only there for people that do the right thing, it doesn’t deter scammers, thugs and people that just don’t give a fuck! They don’t care. The lady that’s being counter sued, what a joke! That’s what we pay our taxes for, for courts to attack people doing the right thing, the landlord, what a joke. I’d be saying there a gas leak and they need to get out now and let services in, change the locks and move there stuff out.
Never accept guaranteed rent. Always keep the rent. Don't have the tenant manage, many it yourself. Retain the deposit yourself under the my deposits scheme. I want to know what happened to the London lady who let out her mother's flat, whose tenant was counter suing. I suspect the family might fine it easier just to sell once the tenancy is over.
I live in an apt and in the last 2 years gone down hill.This is what it’s like living in low income properties in 2024. I have lived in a few low income places and never had any good experiences and I get blamed for voicing my issues. I’m label difficult and feeling more like trash with my neighbours not being proper neighbours.
I don't like that fact that they are supposed to be managing the properties, but they never go out and inspect them on a regular basis, so how are you collecting your letting agent management fees; If these properties were inspected on a monthly, bi-monthly basis, instead of when things have gone wrong, many of these issues would be 'caught' early on. And John, in Blackpool, is the worst in my opinion. He is just getting a paycheck, period.
Confused here. Paul is the letting agent of the 74yo apt building and it looks like a crumbling dump when trash for neighbors. Surprised by Paul letting the ball drop!
A roommate of my now husband is still in jail 15 years later for attempted murder and SA on me. I only met him once and he decided that if he couldn't have me no one would. You never know who people really are. Be careful out there
So Paul’s alright in helping the older lady sell g her flat cus of the shit and trouble, and not telling the other buyer about the problems buying hers? Though you had to disclose problems etc?? All I can say is poor person buying it
My dad had a medical emergency when he was in Indio, CA checking into the court for a legal reason to get a non payment for a tenant. It’s a very stressful process to evict your tenant out of your property. The medical emergency my dad had was later diagnosed as having a tear in his intestines. In 2017 he had surgery to repair his tear, but he passed away from complications during his second surgery. My dad had managed all his properties until he had a stroke in 2012. He then hired a property manager that had my dad’s 15 properties to manage. It used to be a great way to have extra income but it soon became more of a hassle than a fun business.
It's too bad that those owners with the criminal letting agency can't just sue to have the council pay them instead of the agency instead of having to evict the tenants.
Law in this country is just too lenient and police just say its a civil matter take it to courts. And it takes them months to get a court date leaving their pockets dry. You should be allow to get police eviction if rent is not paid for 3 months. That woll show them
Being American and old I like to watch videos from other countries. And the ones from "quiet" places are best. I say quiet because no one is blowing their horns, lol!! So much anger shown in some countries!
Same here. And it’s no better here. Western countries are circling the drain. Drugs, homelessness, millions of migrants getting a better life for free than our own citizens.
The young man who has "mental illness" should be in care and not in a block of units where they put themselves and others in harms way. Meth is creating a nightmare in the community.
I’m in the United States & the property management companies are very good there’s a few that are really questionable & as a property owner I’m usually pretty good at checking the property myself but I had to do a very thorough search on who I hired in another state to become my property management company that I feel comfortable with. I took out a very good size property insurance to cover things as damages from a tenant.
That first one knows what he’s doing. He deliberately leaves his rent in arrears and pays it just before it goes to court so it goes in his favour. Here you get 3 chances. You don’t get to stay if you keep letting your rent go into arrears.
On one hand I agree that tenants should keep things in order On the other hand, stop taking one home and breaking it down into 3 or 4 shitty little flats to get as much money as you can from each property. People crammed in like fucking rats in dingy lil hovels just so you can make a few more quid.
The tenant that says he has mental issues and warns" hell flip at any minute if he doesn't get his way sounds like an excuse to act like a spoiled child and thinks hell get away with anything he wants using the mental health excuse! No one should have to live with someone like that anywhere near them.those poor tents in thst building!!
Here's what I don;t understand about the guaranteed rent system...Why cant the building owners take the leasing agent to court for the money, and if they get the propery back, do the innocent tenants still have to move? If so, why.? Why can't the council simply start paying the owners instead of the leasing agents? Can't the court, at the request of the owners and the tenants, simply order that the buidling owner supercede the leasing agency as the landlord as designated on the lease?
Blackpool has always been a bad area, even 27 years ago it was known as a testy area where you had to be careful. Honestly none of this surprises me in the slightest.
They should be able to take possession of a Land Rover to recoup their losses. I know the bailiffs can go to those extremes but the landlords have to eat all the costs for court and bailiffs.
I cant believe the letting agent said "they`ve fitted a new front door and made a great job" NO FELLA,,,,, you do NOT use white mastic on an exterior door, complete cowboy job.
Is this not the business where you get into property without using your own money. When you give your property over and you are not the landlord should be a red flag
Bruh!!! Why are you touching themmmm???? 🤦♀️ pink ones, blue ones- oh shit one just stuck me… if you see something like that folks- for goodness sakes have the good sense not to display them with your hands🤦♀️
Advice to Paul. The lad with mental health problems apparently. If he was going to do anything, he wouldn't stand there shouting about what he's going to do, he'd just do it. The Dad was trying to scare you also with bull 💩. Old saying. "All month no action"
Hello Paul, why don't you register landlords and make up your own contracts. Get away from a system where you can't get common sense let alone justice. There are plenty of good tenants and landlords and they are the ones you want. Follow the money trail and these legal people top to bottom are just playing a game they always win. Anything can be done, you just have to persevere. These squatters break the law by walking on the property and why all this legal garbage is beyond belief. Walk on a judges property and see what happens. You'll need an office big as a golf course if you provide an alternative. You need a lease on a commercial basis renewable every six months and if they don't comply, it's game over. Friend of mine had a free standing property and squatters got in. He waited till they were out and put two alsatians in. Problem solved. Try it legally.
Paul Ainsworth is the salt of the earth. I wish him and his wife the best in life. These people are a wonderful asset to their community.
Judge giving the tenants a counter claim after all the complaints and nonsense, the system is broken...

I live in an apt and in the last 2 years gone down hill.This is what it’s like living in low income properties in 2024. I have lived in a few low income places and never had any good experiences and I get blamed for voicing my issues. I’m label difficult and feeling more like trash with my neighbours not being proper neighbours.
26:27 Are we not going to talk about the fact that guy looks like gru from despicable me?...😆
Very hard painful when next door bad people because no one can help you , only moving but maybe get worse people
Hell situation
I don't like that fact that they are supposed to be managing the properties, but they never go out and inspect them on a regular basis, so how are you collecting your letting agent management fees;
If these properties were inspected on a monthly, bi-monthly basis, instead of when things have gone wrong, many of these issues would be 'caught' early on. And John, in Blackpool, is the worst in my opinion. He is just getting a paycheck, period.
They manage 800 properties - too many for an office with a small staff.
Confused here. Paul is the letting agent of the 74yo apt building and it looks like a crumbling dump when trash for neighbors. Surprised by Paul letting the ball drop!
If his mum is an estate agent that says something doesn’t it, how come she wouldn’t give him a tenancy.
A roommate of my now husband is still in jail 15 years later for attempted murder and SA on me. I only met him once and he decided that if he couldn't have me no one would. You never know who people really are. Be careful out there
So Paul’s alright in helping the older lady sell g her flat cus of the shit and trouble, and not telling the other buyer about the problems buying hers? Though you had to disclose problems etc?? All I can say is poor person buying it
My dad had a medical emergency when he was in Indio, CA checking into the court for a legal reason to get a non payment for a tenant. It’s a very stressful process to evict your tenant out of your property. The medical emergency my dad had was later diagnosed as having a tear in his intestines. In 2017 he had surgery to repair his tear, but he passed away from complications during his second surgery. My dad had managed all his properties until he had a stroke in 2012. He then hired a property manager that had my dad’s 15 properties to manage. It used to be a great way to have extra income but it soon became more of a hassle than a fun business.
It's extremely stressful for everyone involved having to go through the eviction process!
Paul is very fair he has a nice manner with people even in difficult circumstances
It's too bad that those owners with the criminal letting agency can't just sue to have the council pay them instead of the agency instead of having to evict the tenants.
Law in this country is just too lenient and police just say its a civil matter take it to courts. And it takes them months to get a court date leaving their pockets dry. You should be allow to get police eviction if rent is not paid for 3 months. That woll show them
26:05 don’t feel sorry for them. HMOs are just modern day slums
Being American and old I like to watch videos from other countries. And the ones from "quiet" places are best. I say quiet because no one is blowing their horns, lol!! So much anger shown in some countries!
Same here. And it’s no better here. Western countries are circling the drain. Drugs, homelessness, millions of migrants getting a better life for free than our own citizens.
The young man who has "mental illness" should be in care and not in a block of units where they put themselves and others in harms way. Meth is creating a nightmare in the community.
Every time I feel like investing in real estate I watch one of these. It's NOT worth it.
Does the UK have a loser pays legal system? That might prevent these frivolous lawsuits from piling up without merit that clog up the system.
What does Paul ever do for landlords besides sliding a letter under a door or through a letter slot?
He sometimes waits for bailiffs.😅
He also provides an intimidating presence
Doesn't he represent them in court?
The law is an ass, in the words of Charles Dickens.
I’m in the United States & the property management companies are very good there’s a few that are really questionable & as a property owner I’m usually pretty good at checking the property myself but I had to do a very thorough search on who I hired in another state to become my property management company that I feel comfortable with. I took out a very good size property insurance to cover things as damages from a tenant.
The way the first guy speaks should mean he isnt eligable to defend in court
The question is why did she rent out the flat to the fake Yardie in the first place?
Such wonderful people!!!..
After the landlord person came and left the building, there was a door behind him. He should have looked for the locks on it to check if his keys fit
That first one knows what he’s doing. He deliberately leaves his rent in arrears and pays it just before it goes to court so it goes in his favour. Here you get 3 chances. You don’t get to stay if you keep letting your rent go into arrears.
On one hand I agree that tenants should keep things in order
On the other hand, stop taking one home and breaking it down into 3 or 4 shitty little flats to get as much money as you can from each property. People crammed in like fucking rats in dingy lil hovels just so you can make a few more quid.
Good landlords need so much more protection from dodgy tenants and agents, and slim landlords should be banned for life.
The tenant that says he has mental issues and warns" hell flip at any minute if he doesn't get his way sounds like an excuse to act like a spoiled child and thinks hell get away with anything he wants using the mental health excuse! No one should have to live with someone like that anywhere near them.those poor tents in thst building!!
The only way to really know who your property manager is would be to contact the better business bureau or do your own research on the situation
How would contacting the BBB help anybody in the UK?
The property paul leases out is atrocious. The landlord needs to repair it properly.
If you so worried about your mom then move her in with you.
Paul is very patient calm..
Why is the council paying all the rents? Why are the tenants not working?
These tenants are destroying the owner property and feel bad for the rule though they are not getting rent and house fully destroyed
Good man Paul
Here's what I don;t understand about the guaranteed rent system...Why cant the building owners take the leasing agent to court for the money, and if they get the propery back, do the innocent tenants still have to move? If so, why.? Why can't the council simply start paying the owners instead of the leasing agents? Can't the court, at the request of the owners and the tenants, simply order that the buidling owner supercede the leasing agency as the landlord as designated on the lease?
I agree,paul is tops
Blackpool has always been a bad area, even 27 years ago it was known as a testy area where you had to be careful. Honestly none of this surprises me in the slightest.
Paul Shamplina dropped a log in his briefs. “We’re just the lawyers serving the paper, she’s there!” Hahaha.
They should be able to take possession of a Land Rover to recoup their losses. I know the bailiffs can go to those extremes but the landlords have to eat all the costs for court and bailiffs.
Greedy landlords, nightmare tenants
What happened to the lady renting the downstairs in London?
I wish Alex knew me back then that tenant would be begging her to leave
I cant believe the letting agent said "they`ve fitted a new front door and made a great job" NO FELLA,,,,, you do NOT use white mastic on an exterior door, complete cowboy job.
Is this not the business where you get into property without using your own money.
When you give your property over and you are not the landlord should be a red flag
Respect to this man that helps the landlords.
Not a job for the weak, must get horrific abuse.
Deserves a good salary.
Bruh!!! Why are you touching themmmm???? 🤦♀️ pink ones, blue ones- oh shit one just stuck me… if you see something like that folks- for goodness sakes have the good sense not to display them with your hands🤦♀️
Advice to Paul. The lad with mental health problems apparently. If he was going to do anything, he wouldn't stand there shouting about what he's going to do, he'd just do it. The Dad was trying to scare you also with bull 💩. Old saying. "All month no action"
Hello Paul, why don't you register landlords and make up your own contracts. Get away from a system where you can't get common sense let alone justice. There are plenty of good tenants and landlords and they are the ones you want. Follow the money trail and these legal people top to bottom are just playing a game they always win. Anything can be done, you just have to persevere. These squatters break the law by walking on the property and why all this legal garbage is beyond belief. Walk on a judges property and see what happens. You'll need an office big as a golf course if you provide an alternative. You need a lease on a commercial basis renewable every six months and if they don't comply, it's game over. Friend of mine had a free standing property and squatters got in. He waited till they were out and put two alsatians in. Problem solved. Try it legally.
Next time you have a problem with Tennant's play them at their own game keep quite pay a few do as you likeys to sort it far quicker and cheaper
Seems you can't win when you are a landlord .It's unbelievable .
I'd sell and be done with the headaches.
4:46 Ya Mums an Estate Agent, move out then and let her give you a place oh wait she prob won’t coz she knows what you are like. Stop your chatting😂😂
This guy here is a great guy. Dude with the cane.
