My tenant complained of mould, but would not let me or my workers into the property. He then said he had decorated (he hadn't) and no more mention of mould. He was clearly causing this by various things he was doing including a tumble dryer with no outlet and a paraffin heater. I served an eviction notice after the police had issued him with an anti-social behaviour warning and notice. He told my other tenants he was going to pay me back! Then I received a letter of claim from

We have rented a property to 2 friends of ours who were in dire straits. They partially renovated a house we own, and moved in before it was finished. There are electrics.

After a number of years letting out my house, I have just had to supply a landlord reference for the tenant for her new property. The company advert states “delivers high-quality services to letting agents helping them win clients, protect their landlords...

I have a very young couple who are entering their first winter in one of my flats. They have just told me they are getting mould in some areas within the flat. They are pretty naive and are not taking reasonable steps themselves to stop the root problem of condensation (backed up my the electrician who said they were drying wet towels on rads etc and not using the storage heaters in any of the rooms preferring fan heaters instead)....

A solicitor sold my property to a fraudster. Fraudster produced fake utility bill and a driving licence in my name (fake utility bills and driving licences can be bought for £5.00 on the internet). The law society’s recommends that as long as the documents are from an independent source they are acceptable to the solicitor whether they are genuine or not....

Hi, I just had my two flats out of date EPC assessments done and one failed.  The grade was G the lowest on the scale. I have been informed by the assessor that I cannot rent the flat with this low grade...
