So what is the difference with a rolling shorthold tenancy with a two month notice period, versus seeking an eviction notice? Do I still have to give my tenant six months notice when I wish to end their periodic tenancy with a two month notice clause?

A tenancy started 7th September 2018, becoming a periodic tenancy on 7th March 2019. I did not protect the deposit until 14th October 2019, and understand I am liable for a fine. I’ve done wrong, I accept that, so no need to lambaste me over it....

I am interested in investigating the advantages/disadvantages of selling my main residence to my Property Limited Company and then leasing the property back to myself (possibly on a Opco/Propco type of arrangement). My residential property is probably worth around £850k with a outstanding mortgage of £180k and the registered address of my Property Limited Company is my main residential address....

In the past, if someone was in a reasonable job, I was willing to risk taking them on without a guarantor. In fact, it seemed rude to ask a professional in their 30s or 40s for one. The worst thing that could happen would be me losing about 6 months rent –...
