Leaving aside for the moment the legal/HMO discussions I would like to point out the practical and personal problems this may cause. I know because I have been there.All (three) of our children went university in London and for the...

A few years ago I was cold called by a company offering spray insulation to our loft. (In our personal home not one of the rental properties) They came ,stripped out the old felt from the inside of the loft...

Be careful. There is nothing wrong with it from a business point of view but this is a family matter and that brings its own problems. We bought a house in London when our elder daughter was at university. She...

Reply to the comment left by Jan Martin at 26/10/2020 - 09:01Legally Jan Martin you may be right but Paul Maguire and I agree.....and I have been a landlord for over 40 years it is not worth the hassle. Too...

I am sure that Paul Maguire's suggestion is the correct one.Legally you may have right to pursue her and perhaps in the end you may get some of the money due back.But what is sure if you go down that...

Reply to the comment left by Alex McGuinness at 27/02/2020 - 10:14I am not quite sure what you are making a fuss about. Having been a student landlord for over 35 years i am well used to this situation. HMO...

Mr B2L I think if half the rooms are let to exempt students and half are empty CT is not payable....after all nobody tells you how many student you must house. Therefore if all tenants paying are exempt effectively the...

Reply to the comment left by Freda Blogs at 07/08/2019 - 11:14There are problems with "joint & several " agreements for students.While I have been a student landlord for decades and enjoy most of my student tenants they can be...

Reply to the comment left by Mr B2L at 06/08/2019 - 13:46No...at least none I am, aware of. the properties we own have been student houses or HMOs for several years. The only inspections we have had are in relationship...

Get real..... this has been the case for several years. The landlord of an HMO is liable for the Council Tax. If you are housing students they should provide you with a Council Tax exemption certificate. If they do not...

Reply to the comment left by Freda Blogs at 06/12/2018 - 10:21What on earth are you moaning about? The council has to collect Council Tax and students get an exemption but the landlord is responsible for the CT on an...

I agree. I am a simple man .I like things clear and straightforward. I try to word our tenancy agreements that way. 90% of our lettings are furnished and inclusive....by that I mean we supply furniture and white goods.We pay...

I think Jerry Jones has it in one "amateur landlord:".... chasing round repairing and trying to get the tenant to pay for a broken or worn out appliance is time consuming and extremely difficult.Get a grip ,look after your tenant...

I think that if the landlord lets a property with say a washing machine then it is his responsibility to maintain or replace it. If you are charging a proper rent you should bear in mind that such costs come...

I do not think that is the case....our HMOs are charged Council Tax on the property as a whole and at similar rate to similar houses next door but we no longer( for the last four or five years) get...

I think that you are not able to avoid being liable for Council Tax on your HMO. It is the landlord's responsibility and if you have issued a AST that says the CT is included you have shot yourself in...

I thought that extraction fans were now a legal requirement but even if they are not it an extremely unwise landlord that does not install them. It seems to me that your tenants are making requests for extraction fans and...
