Don't see much about redress for landlords from bad tenants. There are far more bad tenants than bad landlords. How about a level playing field.

There is mentiom here of the model agreement being for lengths of 2 or 3 years. Many leases preclude this, on this development the only agreements permitted are for 6 or 12 months. What happens here?

is having an oven, hob, fridge, washer etc counted as furnished?
Read More →24th August 2015, 11 years ago
