Whilst this is their home it's your property and allowing tenants to customise to their liking is not part of tenant agreement. Any work that needs doing is your responsibility (and the word here is NEEDS). While you haven't been...
Wouldn't local council be able to provide necessary guidance on this as I expect it'll have to comply with all their regulations plus health and safety aspects. Also what about parking options. I'm guessing airbnb might have some guidelines on...
Hiya If this was me I'd be making it clear by discussion about 3 months prior to end of contract I'd not be extending tenancy. It's always professional to communicate intentions with tenant even if you wish to extend tenancy....
Agree with what's already been said. Do not ever rely on agents doing inspections on a level that you would. Can you claim on insurance? Usually excess charge for water damage but worth checking.
Sound advice from Carchester Alice. What price do you put on your general and mental health. This is without doubt an unfortunate situation but sadly not untypical hence why many landlords selling up. Landlords for some bizarre reason are seen...
Even if the agent is holding back a float for any possible repairs this should be something you agreed to and be made aware of. Any repair work should be agreed and notified to you. This is normally taken from...
Alice I doubt there's anyone who wouldn't empathise with your situation. Low life blood suckers who are aided and abetted by professional legals who will take more than half of whatever is awarded. So unfair but typically landlords are seen...
Alice you admitted rot damage at check in. This was only going to get worse over time so why wait until the tenants flagged it up 3 years later. This is what the solicitor/courts will work on. Did you discuss...
Do these flats have a management agency/committee (as most flats do)?. If so contact them immediately. Also insurance. How does that work? Contact them for advice. Accepting what the above tenant/owner says is not enough. Where is the evidence of...
Robert M has raised all the necessary questions. If you serving eviction for backlog of rent arrears it's the original Contract you have that matters. It's perplexing to understand what the tenant is gaining from a forged tenancy agreement and...
First issue you have is thinking it's correct to pay two years commission up front. Why? Letting agent commission is normal taken each month at source from the rent. What incentive do the agents have to manage this when costs...
So is the implication that you've rented a property that wasn't fit for purpose due to windows? Do you have before and after pics as evidence. These tenants were long term and unless I've misunderstood you have replaced some windows...
I'm perplexed....why would they be paying 6 months rent in advance if they've passed all checks? My one experience of this is two Doctors from Spain never lived in UK so couldn't be credit checked. Paid 12 months in advance...
I'd say you definitely need legal advice here. Far too many issues to be dealt with simply. I'd assume you want everyone out asap and your property back without any more hassle so why be making things more complicated with...
Give the court no excuse by making sure you have all documentation in place regardless of when tenancy started or whether it's relevant. Presumably your tenants are not just moving out as per your request if it's going to court...
The facts are your intentions to sell (6 months on the market a good benchmark). You endured void period during the time property on the market plus possible costs. What more can you be expected to do? Even reducing price...
My son allowed his now ex gf to move in with him (with landlord permission) but then was the one to move out despite him being the legal tenant. The landlord had a real issue getting her out. Proceed with...
