If there's nothing in the lease, the block managers have no authority to impose a ban.

Paul, your neighbours claim is against you, not against your insurers, who are correct in saying that the damage to the neighbour's property will not be covered under your policy. What should be covered under the liability section of your...

This article is economically illiterate. The money held as tenancy deposits is not stashed away under somebody's bed but will be in a bank account and reinvested by the financial institution wherever it will give them the best return i.e....

The opening words of section 14 of this agreement are: "after the expiry of the tenancy" and as it does not expire until 31st August, that is the earliest date on which the landlord could regain possession. The subsidiary clauses...

I think we are all aware that at present there is no requirement to update the installation to meet current standards as long as it is safe. The problem is that the draft regulations appear to change that situation and...

Bear in mind that section 21 is going to be abolished, but even with it still available how are you going to get the work done within 28 days if it cannot be done with the tenants in situ?

Reply to the comment left by Dylan Morris at 17/01/2020 - 13:22That is my main concern. Does anybody have any idea what proportion of electricians are certified to carry out the inspections?

Reply to the comment left by Ian Morgan at 17/01/2020 - 06:59Ian, my understanding is that the wiring regulations say that an installation must be upgraded to meet current standards when any modifications or additions are made. If on inspection...

You are still missing the point. The new regulations say that the standards in BS7671 2018 must be met. You have said yourself that a non-metallic consumer unit does not meet the standards. Currently this is acceptable and will attract...

I suggest that you read the draft regulations. Your comments reflect the current situation but this will no longer be the case for privately rented property once the new regulations are in place if they remain unchanged.

Reply to the comment left by Pete Lightowler at 15/01/2020 - 11:02It appears that the electrician's discretion and code C3 will no longer exist for rented properties - if the installation does not meet the 2018 standards remedial work will...

this post does not mention that the safety standards that will have to be met are those specified in the 2018 wiring regulations which have only been in force for one year. My understanding is that until now it has...

If I remember correctly, S24 was an idea lifted from the Green Party manifesto, so we should not assume that every daft idea will sink without trace.

Reply to the comment left by Peter G at 19/10/2019 - 09:19It is not naive because that is precisely what HMRC do i.e. income and expenses are dealt with in the same way, either apportioned between tax years (accruals basis)...

Reply to the comment left by Ron Bell at 17/10/2019 - 15:53There is a box that you have to tick on the self-assessment form to say whether you have used the cash basis so I am certain that you cannot...

To coin a phrase, the law is a ass. However, the solution is to take extreme care to ensure total compliance in all dealings with tenants. We are already operating in a hostile environment and should not expect any change...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 30/09/2019 - 10:24It looks to me that the claim has already gone beyond that stage, the tenant has refused the ADR process so all that remains is for the landlord to...

If this ever becomes a reality it might actually make it more attractive to let to benefit claimants as they are unlikely to ever be able to finance the purchase of a property. If they did, they would no longer...
