It’s irrelevant. Why would a new tenant care?
I'd care a lot.
It would make me wonder if the property is fully repaired, whether the landlord is going to try kick me out/is an arse.
Otherwise, nope. Utterly unimportant.
yes, says more about you than them...
>I just want to make sure everyone knows my last tenants damaged my property but the previous ones lived there for 8 years.
....why?
All this is going to do is make it look like you're prone to grudges.
Maybe they're looking for something to excuse certain repairs that have probably not been done.
Yes. Makes you look like a bad landlord.
As a tenant, not only do I not need to know this (it's irrelevant to me, what am I supposed to do with this information?), but it looks terrible.
It makes it look like you hold grudges and it makes me wonder what you would likely say about me if we were to part with any sort of disagreement, whatever that may be and for whoevers fault it may be.
I would not be renting that. Ever.
Makes it look like new tenants may inherit bad repairs or damaged property..
And that the landlord is willing to release sensative information, may try to kick them out etc. How does a renter know it was legitimate?
Irrelevant.
It makes it look like you can't keep anything confidential. No tenant wants the landlord to be discussing their business. If I saw that ad I wouldn't even enquire. What business is it of anyone else's, let alone a new tenant.
Yes.
As a future tenant, it looks like either the property will be damaged, or you are an arse of a landlord. Or both.
Nb. I'm not calling you an arse! You may well be perfectly justified!
You are also getting in danger of releasing information about the tenants that perhaps shouldn't be publicly avaliable. It's trivial to work out who those tenants are. While saying what you have isn't a breach of data protection, I wouldn't want to rent from someone who shares that sort of info publicly.
After that... why? What could it possibly get you as a landlord? Renters ain't going to feel sorry for you. Only include what's needed to (accurately!) describe the property & location.
It would make me actively not want to be your tennant, as it sounds unprofessional to rant in a listing.
2 elephants ok, but no ant farms?
Small quantity pets are good.
Makes you look like a rat.
My mum snogged the Vet once
1300 a month, fuck me
4 bed.... Not bad
It would deffo make me think you’d be a nightmare landlord and I wouldn’t go anywhere near you 👍
Your opening yourself up to legal action from the bad-tenants. I would not mention them at all!

It's defamation.

Friends, Family, Colleagues, etc who have ever been to the house can easily see it and know who you're talking about.
Is this open rent ?
A min term of 6mo isn't bad it's quite good as a tenant. I couldn't care less quite frankly. I'm a tenant and treat the flat as good as I can. I have a dehumidifier as I don't open windows.
Ultimately you could say the roof is moments from collapse. If the price is right and it's a good location , I'll take it.
Saying the tenants haven't treated it well wouldn't bother me but I would ask you as a landlord what wasn't treated well and would do my best to work with you to fix problems
Also assuming you evicted the tenants ? On what grounds. Were they actually trashing it?
Why do you want to make sure everyone knows? They don't care about you or your property. They are paying for a service. Damage to the property is your risk. By my maths you've been paid over £100k and only just had to do repairs. That's a pretty good return on investment.
