by Damian Wisniewski

Hi to everyone.
I have a huge problem with one of my tenants.

Section 8 14 should work.
It's a discretionary ground, but the judge is likely to accept that the tenancy needs to be brought to an end.

I'd imagine the other occupants would be happy to give you statements as support for your notice.

Proceedings under s14 can begin immediately...

What a mess! Have the police issued a caution for any of this behaviour? I believe that is a conviction and so can be used for section 8 ground 7a: https://www.landlordsguild.com/groun...cing-act-2014/

In future, do what I do: Have one tenant responsible for paying the rent, and allow him/her...

HMO I live in has Zero Insulation

by oscarandjo

Hi,
I'm a student living in a 7-bed HMO.

We've always had difficulties keeping this house warm.
We bought our own thermostat as the existing boiler timer was difficult. Then we rebalanced the radiators which helped normalise the coldest rooms a bit better.

The underlying...

Reply to HMO I live in has Zero Insulation

by AlexR

I spent the higher amount on my property. As it had an attic room I had to insulate the roof itself to make it liveable and I upgraded everything else at the same time. The OP can solve his problem by laying down rolls of insulation in the roof space....

Amending Layout of HMO

by Mineral

I have a HMO in Greenwich where it is not permitted development for C4 use. However I have an application in for certificate of lawfulness C4 use, 6 people. If I want to amend the layout of the HMO in the future (keeping all room sizes within HMO standards), will I need planning permission again ?

Reply to HMO I live in has Zero Insulation

by Mrs Mug

I've never had any complaints from my tenants. I've just improved the property when I'd saved enough to do it.

According to the EPC, I'd need to spend between £14,000 to £29,000, to save the tenant £600 a year....
