Reply to the comment left by Desert Rat at 21/03/2026 - 19:15Under RRA you can agree a shorter notice period (within limits). RRA amends the Protection From Eviction Act 1976, which deals with notices to quit.

It's rather odd that the Information Sheet has been published when the relevant piece of secondary legislation implementing it is still in draft, and hasn't been laid before Parliament. (The Assured Tenancies (Private Rented Sector) (Written Statement of Terms etc...

"Extending the term" means granting a new tenancy. You should consider the transitional provisions in RRA and HA 1988, as amended, *very* carefully, as well as the limitations on how early in a tenancy you are allowed to serve a...

Reply to the comment left by Neil Patterson at 23/01/2026 - 10:07"Granting yourself a lease" is a legal impossibility. You need to transfer the freehold to eg a management co before (or simultaneously with) granting the long leases "to yourself".

There is no "new assured shorthold tenancy system" under RRB. That's the point of it.

Reply to the comment left by Sara Rowland at 12/08/2025 - 08:17That won't apply because it will be an involuntary bailment, not a contractual one. The former tenant is the bailor, the former landlord is the (involuntary) bailee. Why would...

Probably because of the presumption that when you sell a house you either (a) also sell the contents (check the terms of your contract) or (b) abandon those contents. When a tenancy ends the property in the chattels left behind...

Reply to the comment left by Sara Rowland at 04/08/2025 - 15:12The 1977 Act does not stipulate a three month period. Much better to rely on provisions in tenancy agreement, if there are any.

Strictly speaking, you have. A claimant should properly bring all claims (of which they have knowledge) arising out of the same facts, in one set of proceedings. Also, don't forget the six year limitation problem if you try to salami...

Except that you can't sue twice for the same debt. Abuse of process.

And the stock will be bought up by commercial entities who can afford to spread risk of default/void over a large portfolio. But to cover that risk rents will inevitably have to increase.

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 04/08/2025 - 11:37Possibly. Depends on quantum, hassle factor and ex-tenant's ability to pay.

No. You claimed "rent arrears". You have a judgement debt for rent arrears (and costs). You can enforce the judgment debt in respect of those arrears and costs, plus the additional costs of enforcement. The other stuff is additional. If...

I'm afraid that isn't how joint periodic tenancies work. The fiction is that the tenancy for a month, week, or year is renewed automatically unless *anyone* in the relationship of L and T indicates that they don't want that to...

Paying the contractor promptly must be the right thing to do. As to whether your agent is acting within the terms of their agency in using incoming rent to do so, that depends on the terms (express AND implied) of...

What are you hoping to achieve from a charging order? Your charge will rank behind any mortgage borrowing, and in those circumstances the chances of successfully applying for an order for sale are minimal. If you're happy to wait until...

Hmm.Their view of what "expedited" means may not be the same as yours!
