Take it from me that there is no guarantee you will win your case unless there was a dispute over non payment or an exceptionally slow return of your deposit or excessive disputable deductions from your deposit that you didn't...

Having just read what Mark Smith has written wouldn't your own solicitor have had a look through the legal pack to ascertain whether there were going to be any problems with what you are about to buy? Or did you...

1st step is always mediation between all parties. If not resolved amicably and the noise problem continues then yes, eviction notice served to your tenant. This sharpens the tenants mind and makes them concentrate on the problem.. Been there and...

The situation regarding HB tenant's has reached a point whereby any small private landlord taking them on it will ultimately back-fire on them at some point. DWP, Goverment, Shelter, CAB have got to get into their thick heads that private...

Do not permit any Sub-Letting by your tenant. You are entering a problem area here for yourself if it all goes belly-up. 5 years with no rent reviews is a mistake and you need to address this quickly. Your LA...

The agents initially decided not to carry out any reference checks based on the full rent being provided upfront but I have asked for a previous landlord reference and wondered if I should ask for guarantors as they are students....
