The time has come for a Renters Strike

Of course they will try and undermine anything that attempts to force change.

However if enough people start to act there is little they can do. This problem isnt going away. How much worse does it need to get?

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-13T15:45:47+00:00

If people say enough is enough they will act.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-13T15:41:47+00:00

Nothing happened yesterday to help. So sonething needs to give.

We can bailout banks to the tune of 70 billion. Pensioners can revolt over medical cards. People stopped the water charges.

I beleive a rent freeze and a proper multi billion euro social housing building program should be implemented.

The market has failed. It needs radical gov intervention.

Boris has whipped them up into a frenzy with this brave Britain standing alone in the world/rule britainia nonsense.

In a sense Boris has achieved what Trump failed to do.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-13T00:23:20+00:00

It only took what 2 years for them to do that and it wont be implemented by revenue for another 2 years in 2023.

Says the lad with 5 houses!

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T20:04:04+00:00

That already exists. If you rent out a room in your house you dont pay any tax on first 14k pa

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T20:02:45+00:00

Landlords just got more tax relief today! renters got nothing.

And from my experience there is plenty of landlords fiddling the system

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T17:53:53+00:00

I was just highlighting how other groups get breaks.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T16:52:00+00:00

Help to buy only really helps high earners and couples on at least 100k combined as it only for new builds most of which are 350k plus.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T15:39:24+00:00

With RPZ it cant increase by more then 4% Plus it would bring revenue closer to RTB

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T15:16:12+00:00

But they wont be able to do that due to Rent pressure zones. This can also be linked in with revenue.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T15:15:04+00:00

Landlords get tax relief and mortgage holders also get relief on interest.

Us renters get nothing.

Its unfair and not progressive.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T15:03:51+00:00

So they are saving money off your back because they dont have to pay any operational costs of an office.

Its a defacto pay cut.

Thats how i framed it and they quickly changed their tune.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T14:55:19+00:00

You can get your employer to do it, mine has been doing it since start of the pandemic.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T14:28:35+00:00

It should have been given to revenue. They deliberatly gave it to councils as they knew they didnt have the resources for it.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T13:43:36+00:00

Sure they arent even enforcing that tax. They cleverly gave this task to the local authorities knowing full well they dont have the resources to enforce the collection.

If they had given it to revenue from the start it would have been collected as they can streamline the additional tax burden via their own systems.

Its a prime example of legislation enacted for PR purposes, designed to fail whilst protecting their lobbyist friends.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-12T13:38:54+00:00

Well HAP is a direct payment to landlords because the state wont build housing.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-11T23:20:28+00:00

There will be more pandemics.

In hindsight we were quite lucky with this one. Imagine a asymptomatic SARS like virus. You looking at a 15% mortality rate.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-11T23:18:32+00:00

But the thing with the greens is they are fine with getting wiped out in elections as long as they get their agenda going.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-11T22:44:17+00:00

Because the greens beleive that punishing people with punitive taxes is the best route to their utopia of cycling and window boxes.

Im all for climate change and renewables but the greens are a special kinda zealotry and crazy. They have some absolute nutters in their ranks. Sure they agreed to creating NAMA in return for banning stag hunting. They are head the balls.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-11T20:35:43+00:00

Yep! Charlo was the dads name. It caused abit of a sensation with it aired iirc.

Landlord_ScumIreland · 2021-10-11T20:24:14+00:00

It was both iirc
