My brother is currently looking to buy a flat to live in. I asked him if many that he's seen were tenanted and yes, pretty much every one of the flats he's looked at at are leaving the rental market....

Reply to the comment left by Alison Clark at 11/11/2024 - 12:17Hi Alison, I see that the fixed term ends May 25, apologies I thought it ended in Jan 25. I would definitely serve the S21 in March to coincide...

I would be serving a Section 21 now to coincide with the end of the fixed term. If this tenant has been a challenge from day 1 they are not going to play nicely now. If they move out by...

I would 100% use an eviction specialist to avoid any further issues or unnecessary stress for you. As you have found out the hard way, even a minor error in your paperwork will work against you.

I would be implementing a rent increase now, why wait? I hadn't given our tenant a rent increase since the tenancy commenced 3 years ago but as soon as the rumours started up regarding possible rent caps etc I did...

Reply to the comment left by Jo Westlake at 26/01/2024 - 11:01Great Point Jo. We have a development near us where the labourers have all been laid off as they've not managed to sell enough of the phase 1 properties...

Can you help, if 1 tenant of a joint tenancy gives notice & vacates by the date given would they still be held liable for the mesne profits if the other tenant doesn't leave?

I had to give a S21 to a tenant when the property was being sold. I met with her in advance to warn her that this was coming as we wanted to work with her timings wise as she had...

Reply to the comment left by The Forever Tenant at 05/01/2024 - 11:26I am also politically homeless, neither the red nor blue party offer anything useful for the rental market which means that both tenants & landlords lose out big...

And how much of the increased housing stock already had planning permission when he took office. I bet he's not the reason London have increased their stock by 8% & also how much of that stock is affordable? The regeneration...

Reply to the comment left by Mick Roberts at 06/11/2023 - 11:32That's £8 million down the drain, if only councils were allowed to replace social housing lost under RTB we wouldn't be in this situation now

Out of interest I checked the EPC for my current home v my previous home. Current home = C, previous home = D. Current home is much colder that previous home & costs far more to keep warm which shows...

I print up a sheet of labels with 'RTS - Addressee Gone Away' ready for whenever tenants vacate especially those who don't leave a forwarding address. I then stick the label over the address to prevent it being delivered back...

The problem here is that a S8 can be challenged by a tenant. Those who know how to play the system do so. We used to serve a S21 as that would guarantee us possession & then follow up 2...

If you suspect your tenant is in receipt of UC I would also contact the council stating that your tenant is over 8 weeks in arrears of rent (assuming that is the case) and request that the housing benefit element...

When I used to do our inventories I would list at the end of the inventory all the documents supplied which I would also present in a folder. Therefore the tenant was not only agreeing to the inventory but was...

Reply to the comment left by Chris @ Possession Friend at 09/03/2023 - 14:14Thanks Chris. Unfortunately this was a few years ago now, if it was more recent I would certainly report them. I wasn't aware that I could report...
