Yes the new post Renters Rights Act removes the easy route for removing irresponsible tenants who damage your property and want compensation because you fix their handywork. Just used a S21 last month in a very similar scenario to yours,...

My approach would be to stay away from the homeless tenant without a job and no deposit. They have the greatness need for support but I am not skilled enough to handle the issues they come with. Those who might...

Any chance of a DOGE analysis of how the money is spent or ineptly wasted on costs by the council. What quality of service do this council offer for such a high fee. Shame Reform did not win this profligate...
