The lesson here is a clause in the tenancy that should the property be uninhabitable the tenancy will be at an end. I would say check your tenancies. But the rrb is having a standard tenancy (I think)

Which S8 grounds did you use.. 8 10 and 11 presumably. They will claim disrepair probably. You should also consider 13 and 15 together with a claim for malicious waste. As other s said, make sure you have correspondence history,...

Reply to the comment left by Markella Mikkelsen at 28/04/2025 - 11:27Serco will give their clients a licence. They won't be tenants. It's like when you stay in a a hotel you have a license to occupy but not a...
