anyone got the answer to this one ??

05-03-2008, 15:24 PM

Have someone who wants to take a room in a property. She is doing voluntary work and the organisation she works for will be paying her rent, deposit etc. She however will have to top up the rent by about £25pcm.
My question is - do the company and the tenant need a tenancy agreement and should I still reference her ? If so what TA do I use for the company as its not a business tenancy as such ???
I have spoken to the company and they get her to sign a contract with them stating if she damages the property she is liable.
Please please any advice gratefully received
Many thanks

From L's point of view, better to let to organization. This will be outside the Housing Act 1988. Reserve full rent (inc. the extra £25 which the individual wil be funding).

Thank you for the replies. The landlord sacked the letting agent as it turned out they hadn't done what they said they had. The landlord has engaged a solicitor to deal with the eviction and when they asked the agent for the court paperwork they didn't provide anything. So they have started again and...

Landlord sacks letting agent during eviction process

by Kareniq133

Hi

I have had a nightmare neighbour issue for a long time and engaged with the letting agent to resolve this. The letting agent served both a section 21 and section 8 due to anti-social behabiour and rent arrears respectively, but the hearing was put on hold due to the pandemic. The hearing...

Alternative Dispute Resolution with Tenancy Deposit Scheme or Legal Action?

by KTZ32

I provided a list of damages and costs (minus fair wear and tear) with the check out report to the vacated tenant. They requested their full deposit be returned in full and did not request the deposit return through the tenancy deposit scheme.

I had to commence legal action as the damage...

That doesn't mean it favours the tenant in the sense that it's unfair or bias.

In Scotland, did they ban S21 evictions for existing, ongoing tenancies, or only for new tenancies?

If you are definitely going to court to claim for more than the amount of the deposit, then just stick with that. I don't know whether you would had to have agreed to ADR when you protected the deposit with your particular scheme, but if you are taking legal action, you should definitely be able to...
