There's no need for a current EPC until the start of a new tenancy.
If the ten years expires, provided you can show you gave it to the tenant before the start of the tenancy, there's no need to get a new one until then.

When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

It's not clear whether minimal EPC rating mean a current EPC is required throughout a tenancy.

If someone tries to defend their eviction on the basis that the property may be unfit to let, we have crossed some kind of line.

Was there a witness to the phone call or a note with the keys?

Tenants left suddenly without due notification - Claim on their deposit

by Nicolas10

Hi, I had these tenants who started in early June 2019 with a 12 month contract until June 2020. They had a six month break clause so they could leave after six months by giving a 60 day notice.

However they left after seven months without giving any notice at all and I found out about...

Reply to Mould and damp, landlord wants re-let fee

by Policy reader

Report to council preferably through email or by going in person. Most public departments over the phone either postpone or refer to other irrelevant department. You can also try to speak to your local citizen advice bureau and also speak to shelter. Don't afraid from agency/landlord as I bet with you...

Reply to Mould and damp, landlord wants re-let fee

by Ingawilliams

Can I email them saying that tenancy agreement ended when we served notice with leave date. And ask why we have to pay relet fee. If someone else moves in a house next month they will pay % of the rent and we will be deducted too? Doesn't seem right also break clause ends with serving notice is it right?...

Went to report to council and they only put me on the list for housing department to wait for call in 2-4 weeks but we can't wait this long. Also mentioned to council about environment and health team and they didn't seem wanted to help me. Shall I ask them again or is it too late now as we give notice...

Reply to Mould and damp, landlord wants re-let fee

Many times by default the tenant is blamed for dump/mould due to their lifestyle which isn't always correct because a lot of times that happens due to poor insulation or insufficient heating system. If the property is not safe or fit to live then even the landlord can be dragged to court. Remind the...

Reply to Boiler problems and providing Alternative Electric heating

by jpkeates

The tenant might have to take time off work to facilitate the work being done.
Exactly the same way that a home owner would have to.

Reply to Mould and damp, landlord wants re-let fee

by jpkeates

There are two different problems here.

You have a fixed term and want to leave early. The landlord is agreeing this with a condition that you pay a fee. The fee seems reasonable.

You want to end the fixed term early because the property sounds unhabitable. Presumably you haven't...
