Thanks...I guess then the tenants get a 5 month notice period. Take it or leave it! We are allowed to have a mutually agreed longer notice period, unless I am mistaken! So if we can't agree a 5 months notice...

I came across the following https://www.lbhf.gov.uk/housing/private-housing/property-licensing-landlords-and-letting-agents/register-licences in particular the following information given to Hammersmith and Fulham by the information commissioners office 'However, it is...

I had a similar issue regarding public details on HMO register that I resolved because the Information Commissioner has already given their opinion on this. I see no difference in the proposed register and the HMO register in terms of...

Rent increase now or just before RRB?

5th October 2024, 2 years ago

From what I read all AST will be invalid when RRB becomes invalid. So a new lease is needed. Does this new lease give the landlord the right to set the rent as they see fit? Given the old AST...

I would be more worried over the solvency of the corporate entity you are letting to. It doesn't sound like they are a big company with financial strength. I imagine the owners are trying to pass the rent off as...

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 31/03/2024 - 14:04Couple of points that make that very difficult. Land registry ownership is 88% complete. Land registry doesn't list bedrooms so no way to know that the property could be...
