Section 21 and EPC Renewal

12-02-2019, 08:19 AM

Hi all,

I'm looking to serve a section 21 to my tenants.

I currently have the gas cert updated but the EPC cert just expired and I am having problems with the tenants, not allowing the EPC guy in.

Please advise.

You only need the epc to be current when the tenancy started.

Write and do inspection (not EPC ) and see what is going on.

Why should they let EPC man in - not their job or responsibility? Simply arrange to be there so you can let him in & supervise him.

I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

Amount in default judgement when ongoing rental contract & rent payment received

jheenan

Hi,

I'm struggling to find the right search phrase to help me understand the legal situation here. The question is I hope simple, but I'll try to explain the full background just in case.

We have started the money claim online process against a tenant. The tenant currently...

Thanks Andrew. I missed out that crucial figure. The amount applied for on the CCJ is ~£3000. We deliberately issued it just after a rent payment became due. My question is just whether the ~£1,100 payment they plan to make on 31st July will reduce this figure to ~£1,900 or go against the rent payment...

You shouldn't have begun the claim until the amount owing was known.
And by claiming via MCOL you are also risking causing an issue with your notice under s8 - because you're claiming the same debt in two different processes.

End the MCOL process.
Evict using s8 or s21 to put...

None of the above. The claim is only for the maximum of the amount outstanding at the time the claim was initially placed. You probbaly need to place a further MCOL shortly.

You did the correct thing to sue them before they leave. Make sure if you do get a judgement that the judge specifically...

Hi Landlord’s,

I’m doing research on Landlord's as I’m doing a course, could you tell me what are the biggest problems and frustrations you have as a Landlord?

Politicians making dumb laws based on an agenda that has nothing to do with the interests of decent tenants, landlords or the need to have a vibrant, flexible and cost effective (for everyone) sector. Idiots like Jeremy Corbyn....

What documents do I need to send court in advance of hearing for possession claim

sbao

Hello everyone,

I am preparing to attend a court hearing on 9th August regarding a possession claim I am making due to rent arrears, which I triggered with a section 8 notice (though the tenant seems to have now left the property anyway). What documents or evidence would I need to send...

If the tenant has left the property, they're probably not going to defend the case, so you need 3 copies of everything (one for you, one for the judge and one for the tenant, just in case).

Contents (everything else with a big number on it).
Tenancy agreement(s).
Notice....

The agent is acting for the seller, not you and they are not being exactly honest with you.

I think you want to consider whether the property represents good value when you take the new circumstances into account.
A property that looks a good deal is not so much of a good deal if...
