The other side of the story that no one sees other than the landlord, is the actual verbal and physical hostility. The landlord is very often the only person on whom discontent for everything is raged on, irrespective of whether...

agree. You can ask for entry to do a property check etc....doesn't mean its granted. No judge would give possession on the basis the tenant refused the LL access unless there were significant and legal implications and the LL had...

Reply to the comment left by at 13/08/2026 - 08:53if this is correct and for example the LL did everything by the book in terms of refencing, right to rent checks ID etc, then the only possible 'failing' could be...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 02/08/2026 - 21:28…which is going to cause major issues as you cant 'retrospectively' then get a reference. Nor RGI or a guarantor. Seems like if many LL's find this out at...
