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...

Hi all,
I privately rent and have done since December 2017. At the beginning of 2018 two of the window handles broke meaning they have been locked shut.
These were initially reported a week after and someone was sent out via the agency. I took the day off work and waited in but he said...

I'd suggest to the agency that if the problem isn't solved you'll have to involve the council.

Buying a tenanted property

Hi I'm thinking about buying a tenanted property.Is there anything I should be weary of ? .This would be my 4th and would bring my total income to about 48000 minus mortgage interest etc.Im presuming the new tax rules would not affect me as I would still be in the basic tax bracket ?

When to call end to tenancy

Thoughts from experienced landlords would be appreciated. The tenancy is now periodic. The house is a modern build, in good repair and decoration.

Tenants are slow in reporting maintenance issues or, conversely, needy. We have replaced a blown light bulb as tenants did not know how...

There are probably other unseen issues too. End tenancy.

I would agree, a '' difficult '' tenant often does not know that is what they are ! So they will simply carry on as they have been, best to ditch.

The general answer to questions of "do we have grounds to terminate the tenancy" is no. The only exception would be if the council ruled the property unfit for human habitation.

I don't know the layout of the property, so I don't know if you actually need escape windows.
