I would be aggrevied by this, just lazy, the engineer didn't quote correctly and agent just agreed. Simple phone call would have solved this. As for the agent: - didn't know what system was in the flat, clueless. - lower...

Reply to the comment left by Kate Gould at 13/12/2025 - 09:13Could another option be to issue a short let contract for 180 days (just short of 6 months). Pay the term in one go. Issue an AST afterwards.

Would it be legal to have the tenant use a credit/debit card pre-authorisation instead. Basically a hold on the amount to pay out 1 day after the contract starts. This would be similar to a hotel.

You'll never remove anyone with these grounds. Meeting the evidence bar to persuade a judge will be impossible. You're better off not renting to anyone without perfect referencing. Eventually after some years of the people experiencing more ASB there might...

You see this a lot, somehow even with the imminent RRB coming in these slum landlords skirt all the enforcement.

The agent should have a professional inventory at check-in and check-out with a picture of the inside of the oven. If it was supplied dirty then you'd need to pay. If the agent hasn't got any records and just let...

I have a similar situation, HMO rooms Grd - 2nd floor. Bst has 2 self contained 1 bed flats, no access to the above . The mandatory licence has always covered the whole building bst - 2nd. That said, I'm...

If they have actually left and handed over most keys the tenancy has finished. Take pictures and video to confirm it's vacant. Ask the other tenants for confirmation on they're collectively liable as joint tenants. Then just change the locks...

Explain this to your solicitor asap so they're prepared. To my knowledge if the epc was D before serving s21 and you have evidence that tenant received updated docs you'll be fine. Either way, the solicitor should be aware in...

Never heard of your situation before. Joint tenants always have all names listed on the court order and CCJ. I've never gone to court though without a solicitor. I also issue guidance to joint tenants before starting that they are...

Think either your solicitor or the registry have made a mistake. Your transaction is a gift (to kids) for nil consideration with a market valuation. No monies have changed hands but taxation (if any) is carried out at the market...

Think it's fairly clear licensing is just a revenue raiser now. I expect the upcoming landlord register will morph into an additional stealth tax. This form of taxation is useful, as the end user, in this case a tenant doesn't...

Large rent advances are a direct result of the 5 week deposit cap. Many people without a UK guarantor don't have sufficient options. Removing the rent advance will effectively remove this segment of applicants. It's crazy how little information they...

If this is an old upvc double glazed window I would suggest you might have an external maintenance issue. Seeming as damp has spread further into the wall/plaster than just the cill. Older windows were often mounted in a wooden...

Sounds like you are a leaseholder in a block of flats with a separate freeholder and managing agent. Consult your lease, there can be a bit of variance on the terms. In general, with newer leases the freeholder owns the...

Think this is a good way to go on EPC. I've made some changes over the years and have recently got places reassessed into the C category. This buys 10 years, by 2034 things will look very different.

I would second an earlier comment. The RdSAP system is crap, it's worthwhile seeking out a good assessor that you can chat to and work with. There are economic upgrades or layout changes that can boost the rating. Most assessors...

The removal of fixed terms of any kind also seems very problematic. How can I stop Airbnb applicants just taking a cheap long let and leaving in 1or 2 months.

To my knowledge the tenant is liable for damage if they're intentionally withholding access for repairs. I would not engage any court or tribunal until either the repair is complete or you have a documented defence for the repairs. Do...

Firstly, if you've started eviction 1 year ago i would expect you to have the court order by now even with the backlog. I suspect they've lost your paperwork and the lawyer hasn't followed up regularly. Secondly, tread carefully. A...
