Our referencing agency were really reluctant to provide the transcript because of exactly this reason. Their fear was that it would discourage landlords from providing references, but unfortunately the law is the law and they had to surrender the transcript....

Hi Dean. I had a very similar case to this. We had to decline a tenant based on not only their landlord reference, but some other issues that were also concerning the new landlord, not least their credit history. They...

Hi Simon In my experience, asking the tenant to pay a contribution towards a service charge is fine as long as you're upfront about it. Often the service charge will include water and sewerage, so effectively the tenant is only...

Hi Simon Sounds like you have a good property! It can be frustrating when you're competing against other agents descriptions, but I like your phrase "genuinely spacious". Fact of the matter is that you can't change their wording, only your...

Reply to the comment left by "Mark Alexander" at "28/02/2014 - 14:35": Hi Mark. Fair enough. Was just interested in having a nosey around their site to see how well displayed the buyers premium was, but totally understand the naming...

Wow, £3k does sounds expensive. I bought a house at auction a couple of months ago and there was only a £300 admin fee to the buyer! What auction house was it? Mark is right that there is case law...

Reply to the comment left by "Mark Alexander" at "25/07/2013 - 14:49": I agree Mark. Assignment would be a good straightforward option. Just put forward the 1 mth contract as an option, as it seemed no one had thought of...

Reply to the comment left by "Mark Alexander" at "25/07/2013 - 12:15": Hmmm, My understanding is slightly different, but maybe we are looking at the same thing from two different view points?? My understanding is that you can have an...

Wouldn't it be simpler just to issue a 1 month AST that then moves in to a statutory periodic?

The letting agent must provide you with the landlord's details within a certain time frame if you ask for it (I think it's 21 days). There is law in place that covers this. Regarding the deposit protection, I think previously...

The Landlords guild seem to interpret the case that it is only of concern to landlords with tenants who moved in prior to 6 April 2007 and with tenancies that have gone statutory periodic after 6 April 2007. If that...

Hi Tim. As Mark says, you can deduct monies from the deposit to cover the necessary repairs (save normal wear and tear). What does it say in your contract regarding leaving the property in a good condition? If you had...

Hi Alun, As others have commented, if it is in your AST and it is a reasonable cost then there should be no reason why you cannot charge this back to the tenant. Here at The Online Letting Agents we...

If tenants have a pet, and this is acceptable to the landlord, we are always specific in our contract to say that they can have that pet, and that one only, giving the breed, age and name of the pet(s)...

Hi Gillian. Apologies in advance - this is going to be a long post - letting agents that give the industry a bad name get under my skin! You have clearly checked all of the documents that you have been...
