All it would take is for the third tenant to subvert the entryphone system (eg jamming the door open, or giving out the code to all and sundry) so without them on board, it looks like a lost cause.

No set precedent? Perjury has plenty of precedent, because that is what this potentially amounts to. Assuming OP is correct, the case will be simply dismised. Nothing will come of it.
*NO CHILDREN PLEASE, I AM A LANDLORD* I realise you said you don't want to do AirBNB, but have you considered making the accommodation available for guests at your wedding venue to stay overnight. Often guests travel long distances and...
Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 13/04/2023 - 11:26I already quoted from the 118 article itself the evidence you seek. I did not say I agree that a change in the law is required.
Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 13/04/2023 - 10:16I merely stated facts as quoted by the 118 article. So everyone who thumbs up your comment despises facts.
To quote 118 : "The only evidence that Property118 could find was one platform for agents offering to arrange viewings at £30 each – to ‘guarantee’ a viewing. The platform is no longer available. And in 2018, a BBC investigation...
The council will simply issue the defaulting landlord with heavy fines and penalties. Don't expect any sympathy or leniency from the councils. It's not in their remit.
The council are unlikely to prompt the tenant to pay any rent to you. The housing department are probably waiting for you to evict them before they offer them rehousing.
We've had tenants install Virgin fibre and they neither informed us or asked for Landlord consent. Then when the tenants vacated, Virgin wrote demanding return of the modem. Our attitude was "not our problem", as it was a contract between...
I rented an office and the neighbouring office was leased to a food chain that decided to vacate. My landlord was licking his lips at the prospect of all the money to be made from charging for "delapidations". Considering the...
Why are some landlords so naive in thinking that when an AST tenancy reaches the end of the term that the tenancy ends or that the tenants are obliged to sign a new tenancy agreement. A tenant with a tenancy...
The best thing you can do to mitigate your liabilities is to persuade the tenant to vacate the premises and then clear the tenant's debts. Then you can pursue the tenant for your costs. If you leave it to the...
My reading is that the couple are now sharing with a friend. If the couple are unmarried, then that potentially makes it as three unrelated people sharing. With selective licensing that would make it a HMO.
You haven't been foolish and you haven't done anything wrong. HMO liciensing are just treating you as if you were the world's worst criminal and had broken every law and rule under the sun, except you haven't. They takle a...
The tenant already has a tenancy agreement and is not obliged to accept a new one. Surely, especially as your daughter is already a part owner, all you need to do is inform the tenants of change of ownership. Your...
Get the seller to indemnify you for their failings or sell the property with vacant possession. If they refuse walk away. You cannot just reset the tenancy because it suits you.
"This was never my intention" The above statement is rather puzzling. The gift was from your mother to you and not the reverse. How can your "intentions" or "expectations" determine what you mother wanted to do with the "gift". She...

If the insurance claim fails due to an invalid agreement, then you will have cause to claim against the estate agent for negligence and their "fraud".
