Tenant Claiming Personal Injury
I am a landlord with honestly the worst tenant ever (This was my first and last rent).
I have now received a letter from the tenant claiming he has fallen down the stairs and I have received a letter confirming his solicitors (Express Solicitors) are now reviewing the case. Basically he has fallen down the stairs and is trying to claim? We have proof that there is nothing wrong with the stairs or dilapidations. I guess there is no case?
I have now improved my insurance to include this.
What do you think (This is the same tenant in a previous post who has not paid his rent since Jan 2015)

Do we have a website to expose these bad tenants? Name them , so they can’t do it to other landlords, and they will find it harder and harder to find somewhere to live. Because all the landlords will be cross reference checking.

Tenant referencing uk . com is a web site that landlords can report bad tenants on and expose them.
I have reported previous tenants on there before and regularly check to up date myself with other reported bad tenants.

Why are you responding at all?

It might be a good idea to not respond at all – or only through a professional.
