Tenent is a pain in the backside with an attitude problem. This months rent has been paid but only part of the previous month. Once I issue a S21 I suspect I will get no rent and an awful lot of damage can be done in 6 months. So would you issue it now or wait until April when it should be 2 months notice again. Or is there a possibility they with ban them altogether then? I'd rather have a year without rent than him as a tenant I can't evict.

I'd serve s21 and s8 TODAY. Possibly MCoL also

I have zero confidence that the 6 months notice will end ..... at all.Comment

What material losses are you incurring? Lost rent / damage etc?
These are crazy times and whilst I don’t think finding new tenants will be hard. Getting rid of a bad one will be nearly impossible for a while so if it were only hassle and a little behind in rent I’d probably put it up with it for a few months until the situation (hopefully) clears (a little at least!)Comment

I would issue S21 and S8. Time passes quickly.Comment

I'd try and pay him off.Comment

Well there you have it. No clear winner here. Do let us know how you get onComment

Well I was hoping there would be a consensus one way or the other! I've tried writing off the rent arrears if he moves out but he doesn't want to go. This month's rent is due soon so I'll wait and see if he pays up, if he doesn't the decision is easy. I'm not at all confident S21 will return to 2 months notice in April. My money would be on permanent 6 months notice or abolition of it altogether. Also not sure how much notice we will get of a permanent change?Comment

Now more than ever it would seem the world is full of difficult choices with no decent answers.
Brexit....
COVID....
Best of luck, hopefully you can minimise your losses and get rid of him soonComment

Hi,
My tenant went ahead to redecorate and repaint the inside of my small 2 bed flat (leasehold, purpose build type). She only told me afterwards she has done so and sent me all the receipts to ask me to pay for them. In fact she said she had seek legal advice and she is entitled to it....14-01-2021, 10:16 AM -
Hi all, I recently moved (rented) into a flat on a building that has a communal garden. Speaking with one of the neighbours, she mentioned that "the board" had approved some limitations to the use of the common garden. For context, the garden is just grass a some trees, not a landscaped area,...16-01-2021, 00:09 AM

Reply to Should I consider this tenant?I'd say yes, if he agrees to pay me extra for a cleaner.

I have a potential tenant. He says he has recently broken up, so for the past 3 months living in a budget hotel.
He is self-employed. Not much in the way of savings.
He did own a home, but it was in the wife's name, which they bought in 2005. He is making no claims, as his...15-01-2021, 14:42 PM -

Reply to Section 13The amount of the increase is not important only whether it is within the broad range of market rate rents for this type of property. Not sure why you started a new thread.
Rents are going up a lot however because of legislation - some of my rents have gone up by £200 in just the last...15-01-2021, 22:24 PM -
Hello. Can please somebody help me with an answer?
My Landlord wants to increase rent by £200. I am challanging the rent increase. I sent the documents to the Tribunal. The Landlord sent his statement after mine, and in it he just responded to the points from my statement. Now he wants to inspect...15-01-2021, 21:43 PM -
Why not discuss the problem with the landlord? It's ultimately their responsibility if there are holes in the floor and your health is at risk They can talk to the shop owner and would not want to risk losing a good tenant.15-01-2021, 22:18 PM

So, I have lived in my current property for nearly a year.
Everything has been okay after a bit of a rough start. But this past week; the shop below me has someone new working there and they have taken up smoking indoors in the backroom.
The room they are smoking in is directly below...14-01-2021, 16:22 PM
