I would have thought that the main issue for a judge would be whether the deposit had been protected within the 30 days, rather than when the PI had been issued. A positive in issuing before the deposit has been...

Persuading the Welsh Government to lobby Westminster to repeal Section 24 is the main tax issue. It should be taking centre stage, but doesn't appear to be.

I've got two words for the smug BTR brigade and their tiny percentage of the private rental sector: 'rent controls.'

Thanks, Dale. Presumably our English counterparts will face a similar administrative nightmare with the new English Act, when it comes into force. This whole thing in Wales has been exhausting and so unnecessary. I thought I had it all sorted...

Hi. I'm not an expert on which would be the best course of action for you. What I do know is that you need to get your skates on as you need a valid occupation contract in place by the...

Hi Paul I have been in conversation with the Guild of Residential Landlords on this and it is my understanding that converting the contracts is practically impossible. They therefore (obviously) recommend new contracts in all instances. I'm working on a...

Reply to the comment left by Martin Harrington at 02/12/2022 - 10:51I believe the following statement is incorrect. Happy to be proven wrong. It is my understanding that a new EPC is not needed for tenants in situ, even if...

This brilliant result wasn't from a group of 'lawyers' - it was from Chris at Possession Friend. What a brilliant result for the landlord - with Chris even making sure they got the compensation they deserved.

Well done, Chris. It's an excellent result. But how sad for Lee to have had all the stress, worry and expense of this. It's so unjust. It would be good if there was a way of making the tenant and/or...

I imagine the help received goes along these lines: Client: I desperately need somewhere to live. Shelter: I'm very sorry to hear that. Client: Can I stay in one of your hostels? Shelter: We don't have any. Client: Well can...

Hi Melissa A big question is how will landlords be able to definitively work out what work will bring their energy rating to a C. This is by no means clear. They could spend a lot of money only to...

In cases where the landlord tries to gain possession of the property, but the various UK governments are preventing them through long notices, closure of courts and long waiting lists etc., then perhaps if the tenants are still in situ...

Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 07/07/2021 - 13:56Hi Luke The way I read it - it's confusing - is that a D will be necessary earlier in Scotland.

Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 07/07/2021 - 12:53Hi Luke I've not seen that anywhere. As far as I know, the leap is straight from E to C.

Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 06/07/2021 - 21:10Absolutely, Luke. They are scapegoating one group of people as though that will magically create affordable housing. The Welsh Government is making a complete shower of their other reforms...

Dr Julie Rugg has a good track record in producing balanced reports on the private rented sector, which unusually in the field are not implicitly or explicitly anti-landlord. I've only read the synopsis, so don't know if she has also...

If she is on benefits, it would be a good idea to fill in a UC47 if you haven't already, in order to at least get the Housing Benefit element paid directly to you and lessen your losses.

Reply to the comment left by David Price at 15/05/2021 - 12:27Yes, same here David. Just quote the law and the judge gets all excited and awards twice the rent from the point at which they said they would leave...

Also, keep the letter saying she will move out on the 13th of June as if she doesn't move out then you will be entitled to charge double rent from that point until the date you get possession. You can...

Matt Hancock has warned the EU of the severe consequences of breaking contract law, in relation to the vaccine orders the UK has with private companies in the EU. This is sheer hypocrisy from the Government as it has interfered...
