I have experienced this in the past and told the tenants it would only be possible if the credit worthy person acts as guarantor for the other, and that they are the person who will pay the full rent each...
Have you spoken to the care home about this loss of income? Are the rest of the family all on steady income or has your income also dropped due to Coronavirus? You may want to speak to them about this...
I wanted to reply to your message as it is obvious you are taking the appropriate precautions and with the property empty, and the contractors working single-handed I would not hesitate to carry on with the refurbishment as planned. Just...
When Newham introduced their licensing consultation Southwark saw a huge influx of tenants from that area. Now that Tower Hamlets is enforcing licenses Southwark are likely to see the same influx again. The 3 beds in Southwark have a larger...

I agree with Clint - possibly more problematic for an agency as they are the piggy in the middle of the transaction and would want to be paid as such? Maybe that's the crux of the matter - the agency...

I reported foxes living in an overgrown garden close by our property and the environmental team at the council called me to confirm that foxes were not considered a pest. Likewise bats are not. Rats are I agree, but the...
We have a rental property that has a demolition order on it (since 2005!) and we will receive an additional payment too. Those who are resident in their property (owner occupiers) receive a 10% payment whereas we will receive 7.5%.
Click on the HMRC Gov website link under the Editor's note. That will help answer your query. From my reading of it you should inform HMRC by completing a CGT form, and tick the box showing the most appropriate code...
Kent County Council have a great system whereby you provide the student ID number and their name to the council tax section and they do the rest. I wish some of the London boroughs would adopt this system to avoid...
I will be honest and say, in my experience, this type of complaint is often an excuse to leave a tenancy earlier than the contract allows. However if you satisfy yourself that their noise complaint is justified you could do...
The reason I asked was that a rental property will often require higher standards of fire safety than other owner occupied residential properties around it but that is not the case here. If your property is an ex-local authority owned...
