I agree with the suggestion to call the police. If the female victim has not contacted the police herself by now she is unlikely to in the future, and she is at real risk of serious harm. When you or...

If the police were called by concerned family or friends they have a legal duty to attend the property and if they suspect the tenant is present to gain entry to save life. He might have been laying on the...

Sec17 PACE gives the police the power to force entry to save life ( or protect property ) and as this incident started as a medical emergency they would have been acting in a proper manner. They don’t always come...

Student Landlord you are quite correct the action of the tenant would meet the definition of Criminal Damage, the problem the landlord, and the police, have is there is no way to prove who did the damage unless one of...

It is incorrect to say this is not a crime, however the police are constrained by the CPS and the likelyhood of a successful prosecution and subsequent conviction. One needs to remember in the criminal court guilt needs to be...

Nightmare tenants – Aren’t they always?

24th December 2021, 4 years ago

I agree with the advice about getting a professional in to do the job. I too used Landlords Action though I'm sure there are many others. The point being don't try to do it yourself the time, stress and cost...

When this happened to me and the registered keeper was unknown to me I wrote a message and delivered a copy to all the local addresses. The message read "To the owner/keeper of vehicle ********. Your vehicle is parked in...

Management company director from hell?

25th May 2021, 5 years ago

As has been stated previously there are steps that you can take in reporting these emails to the police. Both the malicious communications and harassment offences are police matters and they have no option but to investigate and act. Harassment...

What's in a word? Lots when the word is Lasting. I should have read the article properly and noted it mentioned a power of attorney not a Lasting Power of Attorney. I was wrong, indeed I've posted previously that engaging...

My mistake, it needs to be registered with the OPG or Office of Public Guardian. At least that's what GOV.UK specifies, and the cost is now £82, not the £200 I paid a few years ago. As an aside it's...

There is no need to employ a solicitor to create a power of attorney. You can do it yourself and register it with The Court of Protection for less than £200. It's simplicity itself.

I’ve been lucky/careful with my tenants over the years and have only needed to evict one tenant in over 14 years. I didn’t know how and did think about asking here on 118 but decided on using the services of...

This request shows the value of this site. We have a tenant looking for advice so she is engaging with a site which many will be thinking is set up to benefit landlords. The first response is from a landlord...

Suspicious Activities – How do I inspect?

2nd January 2019, 7 years ago

If you think a criminal activity is taking place and you inform the police also ensure you tell them you will supply keys to the property otherwise you will end up having to pay for the repairs to the front...

This article proves the need for a new landlord body that truly represents landlords to be established such as the new body Larry Sweeney is proposing. If Shelter were to be the subject of its first campaign it would go...

New Landlord Association seeking pledges

29th September 2018, 8 years ago

I'd be happy to join an organisation that truly represents landlords and the membership fee suggested is a no brainer, what's to loose? That's less than people pay for a morning coffee over a couple of months.

Perhaps members more learned than I can confirm but my understanding is one cannot have a contract for illegal or immoral purposes, ( perhaps the immoral bit no longer applies given society's lack of morals these days ) so therefore...

If it becomes an issue, and why would it if you don't disturb them during your visits, just give the notice that you will be visiting the property to access your shed on a daily basis thus giving a rolling...

How to do right by tenants when selling?

29th September 2017, 9 years ago

I agree with the comment about selling to a landlord. I bought a property with a tenant already in place who had been there for 5 years before I purchased it. Our relationship has been great, you just need to...
