Let me know what you think ??? I think how did he pass your checks ? I think if you didn't have the papers, why did you give him the keys ? I think I want him out of my...

Do you live near the tenant and council involved, if so arrange to pick the tenant up and go down to the council office and ask to see someone. It's surprising how much gets done in person, it also means...

Have you spoken to the council yet ? I'd make a phone call or if possible a visit (I always get further in person) and explain the situation. You should make them aware of 2 things 1. You were not...

Just because she lights candles doesn't mean she needs locking up in nursing home, if she is capable of living in her own home she should be allowed to. That doesn't mean you should sit back and do nothing, have...

When we evicted a single mother with kids, there was no delay because she had children (quite the opposite). They sound like a good possible tenants to me, I would insist they were both credit checked. It may only be...

Ask the agent to change the 6 months to 12 months rent review (the landlord can increase the rent after this time anyway), if the property has been empty for a long time they will be keen to fill it...

The tenant does state it's an 'integrated cooker', which to me means built in, in this case I would consider it the landlords responsibility. Why should a tenant be expected to repair/replace something they can't take when they leave.

Looking at this from both sides I would agree to the AST and make sure I have a good independent witness present when signing. This would allow you and your mother to enjoy her remaining years without the stress of...

'My friend is desperate to evict her tenant for non payment of rent but is worried about the deposit issue' Your friend is already owed 6 months rent, it may take another 6 months to evict this tenant, the whole...

Maybe your tenants feel they have to pay the full £200 at once and can't afford it. Why not contact them and suggest they pay a little extra each month until the debt is paid. They sound reasonable tenants who...

Hi, we've done an eviction ourselves where the tenant was non related and that was tough enough. It may be easier (especially on your wife) if you get a company in to do it so you have no involvement. It...

Just a thought, she is most likely in receipt of housing benefit, so worth a trip to the council as you can have it paid direct if she's more than 8 weeks in arrear's, every dark cloud ............

Should of added, we didn't give our chap an evection notice, because of the 'mother issues' they moved him as soon as they could.

We had a guy with his 2 son's in his room because it wasn't safe for them to go back to their mothers. The council will house them as quick as they can but it can take time, the section...

Contact your local housing and report, that way when they come at you for having too many people in your property you have a defence. I would then issue a section 21 dated for the end of her 6 month...

In that case the best thing you can do is arrange to go to the council with your tenant and explain that from now on you want payments made direct. They say no at first but if your tenant explains...

Surely your tenant could set up a standing order to go straight into your account on the day their benefits are paid. It would actually be more effective as you can only draw £300 a day from a cash machine...

I'm no expert, but why didn't yours and your neighbours solicitors pick these things up before you purchased the properties ?

We've always had rent paid direct after a tenant has fell more than 8 weeks into arrears. The council are usually very helpful.

You could request a written reference from the agent straight away to help speed things up looking for another flat, then if you overstay you have the good reference already. You could print off the email conversation you've had explaining...
