Business model was built on that. Had some great tenants ex homeless. But not possible now as S21 gone. Hurting the most vulnerable. Whose bright idea was that?

If you have everything in place you do not need a solicitor. N5b form is a checklist. Just make sure everything is in place

Well no. An abandonment form is an urban myth. It may be evidence to support a defence. Bit it is not a defence on itself

I have never had a tenant still there when the Court Bailed arrives. The ones that threaten you are usually the first to go when things get tough. I have had people threaten me with X bows knifes the lot....

First thing to do, check your tenancy. Any well written tenancy will contract out of the law of property act 1926. With a note saying service by first class post will do. Second go and see him in person hand...

It's a year if they go to prison. Not sure if it's the same for hospitals

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,...

Best way s21. Then accelerated procedure. It can get hung up but most tenants just leave.

£14 per night. That's hmo rates. Say 6 persons per hmo.... The lha rate for shared accommodation and n may area is about £60/week. Ethics/politics of asylum seekers is a matter for the wider electorate. Put another way of I...

Yep that's a good idea 5 year Serco contracts for UK homeless. Provided of course Serco take over all hmo licensing obligations

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...
