Landlord Rehan Sheikh was sentenced to four months in jail after giving six tenants a two-hour warning that he was going to evict them after they complained about the condition of their shared home.

HMRC has at last filled in the gaps on how mortgage finance relief will apply to buy to let landlords from April 2017.

Suspected capital gains tax abuse by buy to let landlords is contributing to Britain’s mountain of £117 billion tax reliefs.

After a possession order has been obtained, the county court bailiff must be used (unless permission to transfer to the High Court has been obtained) if the tenant fails to vacate after the date given in the order. A landlord must use the form Request for Warrant of Possession of Land (N325) for this purpose.
