Reply to the comment left by Danny Clarke at 16/11/2023 - 07:15Blimey, that's cheap! It's entirely up to you, Danny, whether to offer anything - I do not believe there should be any expectation that you should, as this situation...
Reply to the comment left by Danny Clarke at 15/11/2023 - 12:31No apology needed, Danny, and what you say agrees with what I assume the situation to be. I don't quite follow what the cost of 'John's' garage was. You...
Not quite what I said. Yes, Danny bought his new home which had this new garage, and that is what he both expected, and is entitled to (unless John can find a way to EVIDENCE a contrary agreement with the...
Reply to the comment left by Danny Clarke at 12/11/2023 - 21:25Always fascinating to hear the other side of the story. Obviously, it's not possible for us to know the full accuracy of either account. This is certainly not a...
I received notification of another reply beginning, "I only know a little bit of useful info for you. Our ex tenant got a hearing with county court…", but it doesn't appear. I presume it was deleted?
Thanks David. I do accept what you say, but wonder if it's a clear-cut as that? This house belongs to the mum, and she gave her son and partner permission to live there for a nominal payment. And such an...
Thanks everyone. I've left it with the lady to decide what to do. I've given her the three options - Deed of Assignment (easiest for all), mutually ending the AST and starting anew (with everything that entails), or even letting...
Thanks Simon. Having looked into the advice given on here - thank you all so much - I'm inclined to go the 'Deed of Assignment' route as it seems the most straight forward. I'm hopeful that the husband will be...
Thank you everyone. Yes, the wife has sufficient resources to continue paying the rent, and her mum is a guarantor; we have few concerns there. I thought DL's advice was too good to be true. We do anticipate the husband...
By their very nature, these sorts of situations are never quick to sort out - but that's not to say that they cannot be sorted. As said above, inform the police immediately and start to build up a file of...
From what Andy says, the damage was caused by moving large items such as a fridge and washing machine across the vinyl floor, and not by normal wear and tear? There is nothing 'wrong' with vinyl flooring as such -...
Thanks Julie. Good news that the buildings insurance cover the garages! Ok, my understanding of the situation - and I'm not a pro - is that IF the garage roof collapsed through being neglected/ lack of maintenance/repair, then the 'owner'...
What's the latest on this? Julie, could you clarify something for me, please? When your property was rented out, did it state in the 'particulars' that it came with a garage? If so, the letting agent should have been fully...
I think John Daley means to turn off the stopcock in the house. That should then determine whether any 'leak' is between the water meter and the house, or inside the house itself. In which case, yes John, I did...
Thanks, Neil - that's helpful. I don't think I've been overly concerned about the actual issue at the centre of this, but I have been somewhat bemused as not being able to have this seemingly simple question answered. Hence this...
Hi Geoff. Thanks for your comments. You say "It is clear what the Act says so I hope most her take it on board." The whole purpose of this thread is to determine what the Act does say, because it's...
Hi Mike! I have little doubt you'll be back to read this thread... ;-) Because I do like a good argument, I will answer your first - rhetorical - question too; no, I don't - in any shape or form...

Thank you all. I'll pass all that on :-)

Thanks. That is, indeed, what they are trying - to claim a year's rent.

Almost certainly a silly question, but why can't the son move back in, with as many friends as he wishes?
