S146 Notice and subsequent Events

by Steve001

We have served a S146 Notice to a Leaseholder who has abandoned the Flat. The Flat was given to the Leaseholder originally by a relative and he has run up significant debts which mean there is no equity in the Flat sale proceeds. In addition, there is drug activity evidence and the Flat has been subsequently...

There is no legal standing so far, unless the so called representative will provide the paperwork required.

If it happens after...

It isn't enough to simply provide a letter of authority these days I'm afraid. Anyone acting on just a letter of authority when dealing with property matters and a possible conveyance would be negligent. Particularly when doubts have already been raised about the persons identity which is why a passport...

Reply to Pet consent

by jpkeates

There's nothing specific in the consumer rights act that says that a landlord has to allow pets, but that was part of some older Office of Fair Trading (now called...

Reply to Pet consent

by Jon66

I requested permission for a house cat to the freeholders managing agent on behalf of a prospective tenant. Permission was given after 5 days provided it was a house cat and did not defecate outside. Perfectly reasonable, and she was a lovely tenant with a cute cat. No additional damage to the property...

I think I will offer the freeholder 11k. What's the worst that...
