I see this as another PPI type claim. It is funny how the increase is in their favour. We need to get enough people together to pursue an action against them. I am worse off by £10 per month but...

16th March 2021, 5 years ago

Council tax per room for HMO in Nottingham!

12th February 2021, 5 years ago

Remove all the locks and supply the tenants with a hasp and staple, not the quality you want to achieve but stuffs the council. Put a safe in each room for valuables. Sorry a bit of a case of thinking...

Renting a self contained Annexe?

12th January 2017, 9 years ago

The way I see it is that if the whole thing was just one room, ie studio style, with an ensuite shower then it could be classed as just another bedroom. That could be let under the Rent a Room...
