    tennant/lessee has a lodger what is the best action to take?

    Hi
    One of my Lessee's has taken in a lodger,and he is on some kind of benefit(i definately know this for sure !)
    The tenant is not allowed to sublet for periods of no less than six months,
    not to sublet part only of the premises whatsoever.
    Also when i renewed the buildings insurance they asked me if anybody was claiming housing benifit,i said no,because i didnt know what i now know at the time!
    Is this a major problem?
    What is the best course of action to take
    Does anybody want to swap Lessee's ? I want to trade mine in!

    Maybe a warning letter (from you as f/r owner or from your solicitors at his expense)?

        Don't invent jargon. Either write a clearly-worded layman's letter or ask your solicitor to write.

            by fos333
            This is the important question, what are the reasons for non payment?

            Have demands been correctly served including the correct summaries of rights and obligations?

            Are the landlord obligations under the lease being carried out?

            Have service charge end of year accounts...

            I am a director of an RTM of a property with 25 flats. I would be very grateful if anyone here can advise whether a resident who is more than six months in arrears with his...

            Is there a restrictive covenant in the title of the commercial-property owner (CPO) giving you and the other lessee a right of way over the land?

            Is the CPO a freeholder or leaseholder of the land?

            With regard to the point related to '20 years' you are referring to adverse...

            The RTM can make a money claim online but as this enquiry concerns service charges the lessee will have the right to have the service charges determined unless already agreed. Depending upon the lessee's response to the claim, the County Court may refer the claim to the FTT.

            What are the...

          • Recurrent leaks from flat upstairs
            by Ldawg
            The flat I rent out has suffered from recurrent leaks from upstairs since I purchased it, 4 leaks in 4 years. It's caused me to lose one tenant already. I feel like there is no incentive for the owner upstairs to sort the problem (check the plumbing etc) as the cost is always covered by insurance and...

            Thanks for your response.

            All costs are being covered by the management company. So currently I'm not actually losing out so I'm not really sure what I'm claiming for! More just the stress of it all. And the potential loss of earning and making unrentable/saleable as you say. Yes the floor...

            Hoping to get some clarification,

            If a flat (Outside Greater London) with 60 years left is sold for £110,000 and comparable properties with longer leases attain £160,000

            What is the relativity in this case?

            Would it be £110000 less 5.5% (to estimate for no act...

            Are the management company paying for all the damage via the blocks buildings insurance or is this down to you ? Given how long it has gone on i think you will need to take individual legal action against the landlord of the flat above, what else is there is they have no incentive to fix anything. ...
