Thank you Deb for the prompt response. Am I right to assume that your daughter must have been working to be able to afford paying you rent ?

Reply to the comment left by Judith Wordsworth at 10/12/2021 - 10:41Hi Judith, May I know whether you signed a AST with your child and, if yes, did your child actually paid you under the AST? I am trying to...

Did your daughter live in the property rent free or she needed to pay you rent under the AST you contracted with her? I am in similar situation and would like to put in place the same arrangement. Thank you.

Because we have to give our son money to pay his rent to us, especially if we sign AST with our son and his friend, i.e. we will be landlords to our son and his friend (receiving rent) whilst giving...

Thank you so much for shedding the light on Rent a Room. We will contract AST with our son allowing sublet, he can then share the property with his friend as a lodger. I've also just watched a few clips...

Reply to the comment left by Graham Bowcock at 26/02/2024 - 10:02Thank you, Graham, for the wake-up call. We will heed your advice assuming contract AST with one's own son, as one of the tenants, is perfectly normal albeit we...

Thank you AP for explaining the AT and AST - this is something new to us. Looks like our letting agent suggested AT for the renewal as they told us that the only way we can remove the tenant from...

Thank you so much for clarifying the difference between a Fixed Term Tenancy vs Fixed Term AST. I had only understood the difference of the two after a bit of struggle. The two year Fixed Term Tenancy our letting agent...

Hi Amarni, Thank you for sharing your experience and advice. First of all, may I know whether you are a leaseholder or a freeholder? As far as we are concerned, there is a limit in terms of how far we...

Dear Gracie, We have had some results - the managing agent has engaged a drainage company to check, repaired and unblocked the drains concerned a month ago. Next week, repair to the rain water down pipe and the hopper will...

@ Badger, we have one RCD for the bathroom which has electric underfloor heating and a towel rail. This underfloor heating has never had problem. The rest of flat has another "wet underfloor heating" connected with the electric boiler -...
