Proof is only needed when you are in doubt of your belief.

Because you are so uncertain you look for proof all over and suddenly think you have found god to convince yourself your unstable beliefs have been softened by a beautiful sun.

Certainty and understanding come when you wake up and stop looking for reasons and explanations to keep your unstable beliefs in place.

Beautiful divine picture.

I am sorry to hear you are having all these problems after 8 years. It is not your landlords doing that has created the situation but your neighbours landlords weaknesses, incapacity to keep only 4 people in the house.

If you keep non integrated tenants, extra effort is needed to keep them under control or else that landlord should have gotten integrated tenants. Now 10 people are living next to you driving you crazy.

Your neighbours landlord is blaming the laws and other excuses. He is not trying hard enough to make it clear only 2 adults and 2 children are allowed to live there.

If he threw them out and it would go to court a judge most likely will justify that landlords actions under the circumstances. Humans are not animals to live with 10 people in a page hall house.

Most landlords in page hall are scared and pray to god in hope god will solve their problems but that only makes matters worse.

Your landlord is not to blame for the license. It is not a penalty, not a fine, it is admin cost for the program, maybe go 50/50 on the cost, it is £12.50 per month. £6 for you £6.5 for him.

This license is to make certain landlords are "fit and proper" to do that job.

Your landlord already is fit and proper, your neighbour is not.

If I would rent that house and 10 people live in it I discuss this with them, give them a week and then a last warning.

Then I throw them all out and be more than happy to discuss it with a judge if it gets there.

Judges are there to make the world a better place not for 10 people to live in same house. The law may say this or that but a judge is capable and allowed to use common sense.

Lyndyloo my situation is not as bad as yours. A lot of landlords in page hall (with exceptions that are not the problem here) blame their problems on others and pray to heaven to make things better.

£12.50 per month license admin to rent a house is not unreasonable when there are many landlords that are not capable of doing that job properly and care more about money than the references of the tenants.

Paks4. You just gone fast asleep, snoring. Sleeping and renting properties is not save and need a license to wake you up again. Open your eyes or else you can get out of the boat by selling your house if you don't know how to rent it responsibly.

If you do rent it responsibly there is no problem. You just do it with a license now, what is the problem?

Blaming it on others is so childish and no excuse to not lower your prices to attract better tenants.

That way a better area can be created. If you can see and recognise the difference between people's intentions, there are plenty of good people that will come for a better price.

All this talk like it is never gonna get better or will only get worse is not true.

There are a lot of good tenants that will recover and stabilise the area for a better price.

Your greed stops that development from happen. To develop a better area you need to not scare and price the right people away by getting Slovaks as soon as possible that scare other better tenants away to be replaced by more eastern Europeans that make it even more worse.

A balance needs to stay and if you need to lower prices for English people to come back to regain a balance you have to do that to repair the mistakes.

Blaming it on council or laws is childish, they did not say yes to non integrated foreigners overpopulating your properties. You did that. That is why you need a license, to learn how to do a better job properly.

The council or law does not have to clean the mess when you get 10 tenants throwing garbage on the street.

Why do I know people that are good landlords and they are not the ones that are complaining about the license.

Correct ...

 

See here

That sign you refer to has a note under it that says "for 3 miles"

Not that it matters. I would not walk there even if I was paid for it and legally.

Better tenants don't want to live in the area, I know quite a few people who have become landlords just to get out of the area and then waited months for these "better tenants" to come along and they havn't, the end result is either rent to the Slovaks or move back into the house themselves as they can't afford the mortgage on the new house.

The end result is if you cannot find tenants or afford to keep the house, then admit you are not a capable landlord and don't have the capacity. You sell the house to someone who does.

Renting to (wrong) Slovaks* to get out of it easily makes matters even worse and is not an acceptable solution.

Either sell or wait two or three months, I know people there that go through qualified agencies, take up to four months, remove the for rent sign because the Slovaks ring and knock on the door every hour.

When these better tenants come after a while there are no problems.

If all the greedy landlord had reduced the rent to get better tenants instead of getting more from Slovaks this licensing plan would not have been needed.

* I have heard from friends that major criminals with serious antisocial history have gotten rental properties there in a 10 minute chat with the owner. That owner needs a license.

All that talk about stronger laws here?

Why do you need stronger laws when you have the strength to adjust rent prices so better tenants come. Instead of getting as much as possible from foreigners forcing them to live 10 people in a house.

The strength is in lowering the rent to get better tenants, if you cannot do that you are not a qualified landlord but a selfish incapable idiot that needs a license.

Strength and courage are your own qualities. The law or government are not going to give them to you when you are making big mistakes.

How will selective licensing improve the situation ?

 

A landlord pays £500-£1000 for his or her property, gets a reference from a new tenant and puts a tenant into the property. That still does not stop the tenant later overcrowding the property or hanging around streets and fly tipping on streets ?

 

Existing tenants are still there with a valid tenancy. They won't need a reference until they move.

 

References can be faked, how difficult is it to ask your mate to act as your reference ?

 

The only way we can improve Page Hall is to introduce powers from the Anti Social Behaviour Bill 2013. This allows private tenants to be relocated by the Council if they are making the lives of the residents hell.

 

I strongly suggest everyone reads up on the powers within the new Anti Social Behaviour Bill 2013 and then lobby the Burngreave Councillors and Council to adopt the new laws. It's far more powerful than selective licensing.

 

Otherwise I feel the area will remain as it is and I feel really sorry for those people whose lives have suffered as a result of inconsiderate people.

You are not a warrior. Your words sound like those of a sheep. I know landlords that will not take fake references, they check them.

They will not let tenants in that will overcrowd the property.

You make it sound it is everybody's else fault because you are in too big a hurry to get your money quick and cannot wait more patiently for better people to come.

You need a license because you don't know how to select better tenants more patiently and check their background properly.

That is not the councils fault. The council does not say yes to the wrong tenants.

A lazy landlord tries again to use anti social laws too clean up his garbage. These laws are not to do the landlords job in getting rid of wrong tenants when the landlord let them in freely themselves in the first place.

Good landlords like good drivers will have a license as well but they will benefit from the program.

Dutch I know of 4 landlords who specified how many can live their houses,a couple of weeks later they go to check and more have moved in.(just visiting)yer right. They get in touch with the council for help what happens they are less than useless.You are fortunate that the landlord you know can afford to have his house empty waiting for the right tenant but nobody wants to live round here no matter how desperate.How do we solve that problem?

If someone cannot afford to have their house empty when that happens for a few months they are not qualified landlords.

This money you loose by waiting for better tenants are beneficial in the long run when good tenants stay longer and are happy.

I can tell the difference between a potential tenant that has intentions to start an eastern European lifestyle or a English one.

Can you specify a drunkard if they can drive???? You don't give them the key!

These excuses of saying I told them how many is as stupid as giving a drunkard the key.

The license is needed because these 4 landlords you talk about rent to the wrong people and don't take responsibility. Get upset when they loose one weeks rent. A house is not a baby and if you don't have the money to maintain it empty or wait for appropriate tenants you are better of giving it to the RSPCA than rent it to criminals.

Lots of eastern European people are moving into other western European countries. A lot of them have been in jail, committed crimes and have a really bad financial record.

My mother who is one of the most non judgmental and one of the last people to make such an intense statement says.

Wow wherever these eastern Europeans settle crime and social problems double, unbelievable how that happens.

I could not believe she said that I have never seen her take such a stand before.

There are landlords that will take any non English speaking jobless people that look and behave like they have just spent 10 years in jail.

These landlords only care about one thing, am I going to get my money now as soon as possible? Or are they decent landlords that check the tenants criminal background and have a conversation about how many people can live there and show concern towards neighbours and community.

When these criminals are there the landlords says. Hey I am not a criminal, I only rented this house to them.

When told they have take responsibility on the type of people they rent to these landlords cry cry cry. My money is more important than whom I rent to, who cares if they have a criminal record. I am a good man just renting my house to criminals.

There are also landlords that take 3 months to get good tenants. Creating a good environment for the community.

I'm not saying YOU ARE BLINKERED to aviation but there is a lot more to it than package holidays.

Yes there is a lot more to it.

One of the things to it is that many people are jealous and their ego is hurt and insulted for the fact that their city does not have an airport.

They get angry and upset that they have one but we don't have one.

The amount of people traveling once or twice a year wanting an airport in Sheffield because they are angry and jealous while going somewhere else to get their flight are enormous.

These people can only see their own feelings and want to solve it by getting their own airport to fight back so they donot have to drive a little or take a train.

When you get an airport to solve these ugly feelings you need therapy, more than an airport.

Just seen 7 bicycles outside in 3 hours.

3 were good properly equipped bicycles.

The others had not even splashguards, one of those was driven by a kid with shirt tie and good pants. You would not see a german cycle with good clothes without some protection.

Sheffield is great to cycle but not the cycle city centre of the universe flying over the rest of the world.

It is far below it. Very very far below it. Not straight enough.

BSMan You are one of the few people that is on top of it.

Unforfunately there are many people here, the majority, that think an airport is the same as a new M Donald in town.

Any person thinking they should have a PROPER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT in Sheffield because they are too lazy to travel 60 minutes while these same people don't complain when they wait 30 minutes to get a ticket and then 25 minutes of advertising and trailers before a movie.

Then compete with other PROPER AIRPORTS available nearby.

You can put 20 Asian shops next to each other in Sheffield and they will survive. Airports don't work like that. When you put too many too close together something is going to go wrong at the taxpayers expense.

Sheffield is a lovely place. A big village. Nothing special with nothing to brag about. Sheffield is perfect the way it is, it is not London or new York.

Sheffield is beautiful and clean from all the problems that a big airport attracts.

That idea of a superfast railway from the south to the north is a joke but better than an Sheffield airport.

Even in Toronto in the nineties more people were cycling then I have ever seen cycling in Sheffield. And they also cycle in the winter.

When a dog starts making comments on what is the best way to fly. Then a bird makes a comment that dogs don't fly, they walk and bark. So how can the dog know what he is barking about?

First learn how to fly. Get hundreds of people to cycle to and from town everyday, no matter what the weather is. Learn the accessories and tricks of a society where you always see cyclist in the centre no matter what way you look you always see one somewhere.

Then use that experience to make sense full comments.

Otherwise keep on barking while you don't even know what you are barking about.

 

And the shoppers would then carry home the things they purchase in what? Plastic bags hanging from the handlebars of their bikes?

 

I suppose another consideration might be that Sheffield isn't exactly flat, it's not Amsterdam you know.

I fully agree. Why do people want elevated cycle paths when Sheffield is not suitable for cycling.

And your statements are even more proof you only know a little about cycling and its accessories.

There are more bicycles without mud/splash guards in Sheffield than I have seen in any other city where people cycle often. Big comments about bags on handlebars, while they are blind and ignorant to the capacity of cyclebag.

Again Sheffield people talk like and as if they are the most educated knowledgeable on cycling in the whole world and they have no experience about cycling whatsoever, they don't even know how to use a splashguard or cyclebags.

Sheffield has no knowledge and no experience with a decent cycling community.

Many comments here come from dreams, ignorance and sleepy fantasy.

First start cycling, learn what you are talking about, get some experience, then start talking with experience instead of making silly comments about something Sheffield people know very little about.

The average travel time to London Gatwick & Heathrow is around an hour so why is Sheffield any different when you have Manchester, Doncaster, East Midlands, etc all within reach within 60 mins ???

Do you think when your flights from London are not available in Manchester, Bradfield, Midlands.

Do you believe those flights are going to come to Sheffield?? Ding dong, wake up. Are you sleeping?

That is what I mean Sheffield citizens have no knowledge, understanding of international airtravel.

Sheffield does not even have an IKEA. You really think all those London flights are going to come to a place that does not even have an IKEA?

Go back to sleep! Keep on dreaming Or wake up. An international airport is not the same as a chippy or local pub.

It needs all sections to be responsible,Landlords Tenants and the Council.

That is right

The council is being responsible by taking charge and fining, removoving capacity to be a landlord from selfish greedy bad landlords and letting good landlords continue.

The landlords now cannot get away with it any longer when all they care about is the money. While ruining other peoples lives.

The landlords in my neighbourhood are already responsible so it is obvious a landlord has the capacity to do a good job.

The tenants come from another country/culture. They will not understand what is going on.

You can only make someone responsible when they have understanding and knowledge of what and how they need to be responsible.

If a roma gypsie family does not know these things you cannot blame them they are ignorant.

The landlord needs to make certain the people on his property are trained and educated on appropriate behaviour and manors.

Otherwise that landlord has allowed out of control animals just because he could not wait four more weeks for normal communal tenants.

I know landlords that take twice as long to get tenants but say no to eastern Europe while they lose two months rent to get proper tenants.

An airport is not free, it costs money.

Huge jumbo jets flying over Sheffield will not make it more attractive.

It takes less than 60 minutes more to connect with Manchester, Bradfield, Stocksbridge.

All the people I have met in Sheffield are the most non international, lacking in international traveling experience. Sheffield is very relaxed.

Take 100 people and discuss international travel experience in Sheffield, Amsterdam, berlin, Montreal. The Sheffield citizens are clearly the ones with least experience, knowledge. Yet they pretend as if they are number one in everything, complaining they don't have their own airport and pretend as if they are the most learned knowledgeable expertise on this subject.

You don't know what you are talking about, that is why we don't have an airport, first learn what it means to have a REAL AIRPORT. IT IS NOT A TOY TO PLAY WITH.

---------- Post added 29-07-2013 at 16:17 ----------

Never mind. If people here are too lazy to make a 60 minute journey towards an international airport.

Than it clearly shows your lack of international traveling experience in this world.

Going to catch an international flight is not the same as buying new shoes in the local supermarket.

Strange, did not see any bicycles parked round meadow hall.

A place like that would have hundreds of bicycles parked all around in in any non English European city on any day of the week.

UK people don't know how to properly complain. They moan and are sad that things are not the way they want to.

A load of garbage in front of a house full of screaming yelling foreigners living with 10 people in a small rental home. Nobody takes action or responsibility. Everybody blames what happens on the other party and says "hey it is not my fault I did a good job it is the others fault"

Sleeping idiots. Blaming everything on others. If a landlord says no when a roma family comes to overpopulate a property. Then waits a little longer using a proper agency and gets respectable tenants than that landlord is clearly in control of keeping neighbours happy.

If a landlord says yes and the roma family ruins the neighbourhood the landlord cannot blame it on others.

He could have been more responsible in whom he rents to. It is not the tenants fault but the landlords responsibility to whom and how he rents his property!

Can a drunkard blame the alcohol for making him drunk? No he should not have drunken it there and then. Be more responsible and if you are not responsible you get fined and kicked out.

Trainline.com tried the same with me, I bought some tickets online, and when I payed with my debit card I was offered an opportunity to get a refund of half the cost of my tickets, I ticked the box thinking I had a great deal, at no time was I informed that I had signed up to a monthly discount scheme at a cost of £10, I only found out when the first £10 went out of my account, I traced the company down via Google, I managed to get a refund in the end, I was more miffed that they had not given me the discount on my original purchase and that I was singed up on the sly.

Computers are no longer for game playing.

No matter what when and wherever you tick a box or agreement is requested get suspicious what the real intentions behind the friendly offers and requests are.

I don't trust any friendly unknown online offer wanting to give you something for nothing while giving them access to my bank credit and PC details.

I have seen good landlords and good drivers.

I have seen bad landlords and bad drivers, bad drivers get fined and lose the licence.

All drivers have a license, now landlords cannot rent selfishly ignorant to neighbours to irresponsible criminal families living with 20 people in one house.

When you own your home it is your responsibility what tenants are in there and how they behave!

The landlord blames the tenants but I KNOW LANDLORDS THAT WILL NOT RENT TO GYPSIES!!!!!!!

Get a license

Haven't seen any cyclist in Sheffield anywhere today.

Seen two cycling by don river but that is for cyclist and pedestrians only.

Not sure what you are trying to say here Dutch, what has supertram to do with airports and who runs supertram? I have flown from Bradfield but that was using an army helicopter.

The question is why Sheffield cannot have a PROPER airport.

Sheffield does have a PROPER airport in Manchester and leeds. It is unbelievable someone wants a PROPER airport inside Sheffield when Sheffield cannot even maintain its own roads or build a tram that lasts more than a few years.

When PROPER airports are available nearby why do people cry and are sad because their journey is 60 minutes longer? What a joke, what kind of people desire an airport connecting Sheffield with NEW YORK, TORONTO, WASHINGTON, PARIS, BOMBAY, DUBAI, BERLIN.

And is this person going to use that airport? Or is it just an idiot wining for something for the sake of it?

In the meanwhile they are happy they have an airport. But these super proud people will go to Manchester because the flights are double the price from Sheffield.

Sheffield does not need a PROPER airport for the same reason it does not need an Eifel tower or CN tower.

---------- Post added 27-07-2013 at 12:57 ----------

By the way blackbeard there are many good flights from Bradfield.

I used them several times last year to fly to Germany for £27 return.

That is cheaper than taking a train most journeys in UK.

I used Manchester last month. 60 min journey by train, it takes me 40 minutes to take public transport from my house to cineworld!

What is the problem? If cineworld takes 40 minutes and Manchester airport 60 minutes.

I know Sheffield people live in a fantasy world. They think and talk like Sheffield is the centre of the universe.

Sheffield is so great and lovely because it will never become a horrible international city with jumbo jets circling over its skies all the time!

Thumbs up ECCOnoob

Sheffield people start crying as soon as they have to go to man. Brad or east midlands to fly.

Wipe your tears there is no need to cry, it is only a short ride to Manchester or Bradfield.

Hey first learn how to run a supertram properly before you think you can operate an airport.

We own our home.

Both houses next to us are rented.

Both these landlords will not rent to idiot weird non integrated animals. They wait until the right people come and in the meanwhile say no to gypsies.

There are many bad landlords out there and it is time they are held responsible for their greed!

Most good landlords don't mind paying to see those bad ones being stopped from reducing their properties values by turning the area into another third world.

Anyone complaining here must be really landlords, your property value will increase when the area is managed better.

Cyclist? Hahahaha.

There are more cyclist in a little village in Germany, France, or the Netherlands.

Sheffield has no cycling culture to speak of. It is minute, tiny, and when the weather starts getting cold and wet UK people are the first to stop cycling.

Talk talk talk about something that does not exist. There are only a few cyclist.

Go and have a look in a dutch or german village and you will see piles of bycicles parked by the railway station, market, schools.

Go to the market or station. How many bicycles can be counted there or around the university?

Where are those cyclist when the weather gets only a tiny little worse?

Dreaming dreaming dreaming fantasy. Wake up and live in reality! Or keep on sleeping dreamng if you want to and start making elevated paths for a cycling culture that does not exist other than in your fantasy!

Go to Amsterdam if you want to cycle.
