If the House of Commons feel it reasonable for a landlord to be stopped from re-letting for 12 months if a genuine sale falls through, it is also reasonable for the landlord to expect not to pay Council Tax during...

I did read that, one of the changes proposed in the Rent Reform Bill is that a Guarantor cannot continue to be liable for rent if the tenant dies. I am just wondering if the same rule will apply where...

Landlords are reluctant to take pets due to increased risk of damage and no ability to be able to increase a deposit amount to cover the extra risk involved. There is talk of landlords being able to insist on pet...

Many home buyers are reluctant to offer on a house with tenants as there is no guarantee the tenants will leave whatever incentive you put on the table for them. The shortage of rental properties available will also make this...

Pet insurance is almost a waste of time as it generally only covers damage once or twice and under certain conditions. I can't see any insurer covering a dog that is kept in all day in a house for example.

I don't understand why you would be asked to pay your tenant's legal fees when they have clearly not paid their rent and refused to leave. In any other legal case, if you win, the losing side pays your fees....

When I read articles like this, I don't understand why landlords don't take out legal cover as part of their buy to let buildings insurance. It generally adds around £20 to an annual policy - much cheaper than paying for...

I created an addendum to the tenancy agreement when my tenants wanted to have 2 house cats. I stipulated that litter trays to be in kitchen only, no cat flap would be allowed, any damage to be paid for and...

He hasn't paid rent so is against the tenancy agreement. Also, tenancies are signed for fixed periods, sometimes with a break clause. It shouldn't be this difficult to get back possession of your primary residence when circumstances change in this...

If you have employed the letting agent as full management, that is what you should get, including the agent checking the work before releasing the cash. I have found that agents rarely do that these days (annoyingly), so it is...

Its only worth staying in the market if you have a very small but to let mortgage or, better still, not a mortgage at all. Maintenance of £10k is high and wouldn't be this every year unless you have a...

I suspect the insurance company will want you to offset the tenant deposit amount against the claim but unsure whether they would use this as your excess on the policy.

Definitely. Also, how the hell are you supposed to improve EPC rating to C in a victorian property with solid walls?

Without exception, tenants would much rather have a landlord managed home as their experiences with going through an agent is not good, particularly when it comes to repairs. My husband and I prefer to vet potential tenants ourselves although we...

Reply to the comment left by Christopher Lee at 15/02/2023 - 08:35I pdf my signed documents and add to the property Openrent account. I get notification that I have sent documentation to the tenant as do they.

If they gave you a deposit, you would have had to legally register it with a tenancy deposit scheme and provided the tenant with a certificate to prove it, unless of course they are long term tenants who may have...
