Yes, okay, but that is to somewhat miss the point. We know that the rules are to change. The example cited is clearly historical.

IMO the universal default for letting agent ASTs should be to specify that the tenancy becomes a contractual periodic one after the fixed period. Can anyone cite a single example of why a landlord would want things to be otherwise?

I have often observed that the agreements drawn up by solicitors on behalf of letting agents are defective. Do not rely upon them. I once had a major disagreement with no less an outfit than the "mighty" Reeds Raines whose...

What caused the drip to stop? Unless you have a definitive answer to this then the answer is no, it cannot wait until Monday. Having said this, (a) it is now midday on Monday anyway, and (b) you may very...

Reply to the comment left by paul smith at 26/04/2025 - 09:54The council routinely provide free skips to tenants on council estates to deal with this kind of stuff. Well, I say "free" but we all know who is really...

This is the thing that really irks me the most - landlords being held responsible for the behaviour of others - i.e. tenants (and their pets). I really don't understand how the law came to be couched in such terms...

"Silly physio did not appreciate that landlords have no heart" A little late to the party I know, but I nominate that as my message of the week!

There is certainly not a cost to the tenant. I don't know about how much it costs landlords as I don't use it from that end of the deal.

Reply to the comment left by Tim Fenn at 14/12/2024 - 10:21I can second that from direct personal experience. The VOA can be very reasonable in these circumstances.

Backed up in black and white by the government as well, so even more difficult to refute as nonsense. I was literally left open-mouthed when Gove announced this. I cannot begin to understand ignorance as profound as that.

Yep, same here. The level of ignorance amongst the tenant population about the causes of mould is beyond absolutely staggering.

I'd be interested to understand what level of commission was being paid to the factor. In England at least they are required to disclose this but rarely do unless asked / forced to. Not sure if the same applies in...

All of our properties are currently managed via agents. We have self-managed in the past. It is definitely a case of horses for courses and there are definitely good and bad agents out there. In fact, over the years we...

"... as long as I got bought out at the going rate..." But you won't be will you. A massive discount to true market value will be imposed upon you. Just ask anybody that has had their property compulsorily purchased...
