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...

It doesn't really matter what scheme the tenancy agreement say the deposit is or will be protected in. The deposit legislation requires PI to be given which includes details of the scheme. If the landlord failed to provide it correctly, that give rise to liability to a penalty. Likewise, if the landlord...

There's no breach of contract, there's no loss to mitigate anywhere.

The agent is entitled to £X in commission/fee as a result of the tenancy for the work of finding a tenant, sorting out the contract etc. That is a term in the contract between the landlord and the agent. Either the landlord's...

KTC Do I take it that the short form of your answer is:

1) it is not s a requirement for an AST agreement;

2) it would be a breach of contract which is unlikely to have caused any financial loss to the tenant, and which at that stage would be too late for an injunction, so...

The landlord is not mitigating loss of rent. They are mitigating the loss of agent's commission. When they decided to re-let, they ended any claim for loss of rent....
