This is shocking. Self Assessment Tax Returns explicitly state that a taxpayer's phone number need only be given, if the taxpayer is happy for HMRC to have that information. So how come there can be a penalty for not providing...

Not all doom and gloom as this article has overlooked two somewhat important criteria. So not everyone is going to be affected. For Incorporation Tax Relief to be given it is necessary that the ENTIRE business, i.e. ALL assets (tangible...

Thank you. That being the case, perhaps asking insurance companies to insert a clause in their policy prohibiting pets would then be the reason for refusing to legally allow pets?
Thank you. That being the case, I wonder whether asking insurance companies to insert a clause prohibiting pets would resolve the issue, which would provide the reason for refusing to allow pets?
The subject of allowing pets appears to revolve around tenants actually making requests, so wouldn't the addition of a clause prohibiting pets in the leasing contract nip that in the bud? A bit like a pre-nup? I already have that...

Generally speaking, much of life is 'unfair'; deal with it and move on. In this particular instance, it would be considered 'unfair' if landlords allowed pets to some tenants but not to others. Having a blanket refusal to allow pets...

Leaders are my letting agents and against their advice, I actually REDUCED the rent at the annual review instead of increasing. I'm happy and the tenants are happy. Incidentally, Leaders increased their fees to landlords in January, citing the NIC...
There is a pretty simple solution to this suggested scenario. When existing agreements come to an end, just say Goodbye to the old tenants and bring in new ones at the higher rent. Obviously it would not be a rent...
