anyone got the answer to this one ??

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).

Reply to Whos responsible for slow draining bathroom sink and black grout? Landlord or Tenant?

by Codger

I use a long wire hook to get hair out of bath or sink drains. Showers often have top serviceable plugholes.
silicon Seal always goes black so I would call it fair wear and tear. I would not trust a tenant to cut it out and replace it without making a leak.

You can't use a standard AST - a company can't rent on an AST at all.

The issue is that it's very easy for someone to close down a company and walk away from an agreement.
So the landlord is always at risk of that happening.

If that does happen - the lease comes to an...

Reply to Late protection of deposit

by jpkeates

First of all, the notice isn't valid.
It's not going to be possible for the agent or landlord to serve you a no fault (section 21) notice without returning your deposit to you first.
There's no need for you to tell them this and you can safely ignore the notice that they sent you.

Late protection of deposit

by Sharloe

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help. I've been a tenant for ten years. I wasn't aware if any deposit legislations or such laws throughout my tenancy. Yes, I know, my fault, excuse me for being ignorant of reading up my rights. It started as a fixed AST for 6 months and has ran on as SPT. It has...

MCOL against me

by royw

So my delightful tenant (who convinced me a tenant find service is a really stupid idea) moved out several months ago and has just raised an MCOL against me. Amongst other things he's claiming for the cost of artificial grass he laid without permission. Is there a defence that this is a 'fixture and...

Reply to MCOL against me

by jpkeates

If someone leaves something behind when they move out, the landlord becomes responsible for making reasonable efforts to return it to the tenant.
As long as you can show you have made efforts to return the tenant's items, there's no possible claim.

If you still have the items, simply...
