You can’t just evict the son. If the tenant isn’t addressing the issue then your only option is to end the tenancy using s21.

I often look at these posts and think there's a bit of the jigsaw missing; this is one of them. I don't get the issue with the daughter. If you have a regular AST, then there's a straightforward contractual relationship...

I’m sorry to say that you’ve failed in some basic and long standing legislation. Whilst we regard some compliance issues as designed to trip us up, gas checks are there to save lives Your mate needs prosecuting for the work...

Reply to the comment left by Norma Nagle at 30/06/2023 - 12:50In fairness Norma, whilst I agree to some extent about the protection that tenants have, there are clear (but strict) rules as to how tenancies work. It should not...

Can I ask if you/your solicitor requested/received all of the pre-commencement compliance documents? These should have included the gas safety certificate. If you don’t have everything in order then you can’t use s21. What was your intention when you bought...

No. Deposit and rent are not interchangeable. Basically you’ve told the tenant he paid you £1,000 deposit; you now say he didn’t. You’ve just complicated the matter by involving your father. I fear you may be about to learn a...

If you’re paying a solicitor to sort it out, I’d go with their advice. I would comment though that you can’t prove you didn’t receive it just from a bank statement. It could have been paid in cash or to...

You are not the same as your limited company, so you need to ensure that insurance is in the company’s name.

Reply to the comment left by Paul Thomas at 06/11/2021 - 13:42Ha ha. Quite agree. Sounds like the OP has got into something without thinking it through. I have to say that I love it, though - as an Expert...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Thomas at 06/11/2021 - 08:26The issue here is that the ground around the property will more than likely be vested in the freeholder, so their consent would be required. To complicate it, the...

If I was the owner of one of the flats where you need access (or their adviser), the answer would be a resounding no. Why would they do it? If they did agree then you'd be into issues of formal...

Hi Neil I have dealt with a few of these, often the buyers have been older people using cash; my involvement usually occurs when they die and try to leave them in their will (my advice generally being to disclaim)....

Whether licensing applies or not you have an HMO and should have known it. It's the same issue for the tenancy - doesn't matter is all on one agreement or not. The issue is number of unrelated people in the...

As a valuer who deals mainly with disputes, I am increasingly having to risk assess access to some properties. I am surprised by nothing these days and the "entitlement" phenomena is getting worse.

Sorry Margaret, I misread that, you are quite correct.

As said by others - get yourself a good property/family lawyer. As is often the case, your post raises as many questions as there are answers You have said that your are collecting rent and may therefore have created a...

Rollover relief is available for sole traders or partnerships, but it's not available in respect of residential property.

It depends on the type of property really. I transferred some houses from partnership to limited company in December and the lender had them valued. It wasn't clear that the valuer chipped the values due to the tenancies, so in...

Reply to the comment left by Whiteskifreak Surrey at 02/10/2020 - 12:15I gather that car insurance payouts have been very low due to less vehicle movements (our family car has only done 3,500 miles in the last year instead of...

You should be ICO registered as you will be holding your tenant's private data. It's no different than if you are a shop collecting details on customers. You are a business (even if you only have one house) and need...
