No warrant needed, and now no complaint either - just a suspicion that the property is being rented out, and isn't on the newly set up database. Who's going to be paying for all those kicked in front doors? I...

If you are a landlord or run a rental "business" you should probably look at this site. Enhanced powers for council officers in a variety of areas. https://theindependentlandlord.com/renters-rights-enforcement/#:~:text=Under%20Section%20118%20of%20the,a%20%E2%80%9Crental%20sector%20business%E2%80%9C.

Definitely worth commenting on. I think we all recognise that the current system isn’t fit for purpose. But what the Government is proposing actually seems worse: "The government is proposing that domestic EPCs use four headline metrics; ‘fabric performance’, ‘heating...

"Vacant rental properties" - it's not clear what this is supposed to mean. The real problem is 'landbanking' - mostly notorious in London, where property is bought by companies and individuals, many from overseas, and left empty, because the land...

As someone who has had both lodgers and tenants, I think you have a fairly good case to say they are lodgers, as you lived with them for 2 years before going abroad for work. If the friend who stayed...

Reply to the comment left by Monty Bodkin at 15/04/2024 - 09:39Not really. I am a member of a group where serious medical issues have occurred, including death. The police won't investigate as they don't "understand medicines" - direct quote....

Police don't even come out for burglaries these days, but they are wasting time on political point scoring. I wonder if there will be a criminal investigation into the millions (or is it billions) wasted in the PPE scandal etc

Your main issue is to end the tenancy. Ask the executor or person dealing with the estate to sign a deed of surrender. https://www.benhams.com/news/property-advice/what-to-do-if-my-property-tenant-dies/

What do they intend to do with the property? They may need to upgrade electrical fire safety too. I would write to them asking for full details and specifying quality of alterations. Depending on their reply you could decide if...

Are you keeping in good communication with your tenants? Have you or those who carried out the surveys pointed out to them exactly what is causing condensation and what they can do to remedy it. Eg tumble dryer, drying clothes,...

Oh wow. The scope of the consultation is wide ranging and does include letting rooms in own homes, and possible restrictions and licensing for how people can let out their primary property. Whilst there may be some benefits to some...

Do you want it moved, or do you want it left there and your future lodger/tenant can't use the space? You can ask to see proof of who the executor is. If it's her, then give her an invoice for...

I wouldn't expect a quick outcome to this, so you have to decide on your priorities. I would assume you want the vehicle gone first, and then you can attempt to recover any costs later. Probate takes several months to...

Reply to the comment left by Karen Dodd at 25/03/2023 - 13:06Oh yeah haha I missed that about the fact checkers. There was a documentary a few years ago about the people who run Snopes. I wouldn't trust a word...

I agree with the later comments. What else would you like to do in your life? You've already been successful money wise and clearly have "enough" money. After you've made provisions for your family and security for yourself, then what...

I think you've forgotten the human element in this. It appears the woman's children are the grandchildren of the owner. It's not even clear if any rent was ever paid even when the son was living there. If the owner...

Bernie Wales is good for all leasehold matters. However your quotes do seem a bit high. I live in the south coast and scaffolding here on the front of a 3 story building was only just over £1k so even...

I don't understand it either. Raising interest rates fuels inflation rather than reduces it, and increases government debt, so its a lose-lose situation for everyone except the banks who are gaining in all directions. Following the US is also stupid...

I really don't understand all the outrage about social landlords. They always do their rent changes every year in April at the beginning of the financial year. The only landlords affected by the 6 month rent freeze are the PRS...
