More information needed. Are you saying that they bank refused to allow the tenant to deposit cash into your account? The tenant can do this using the paying=in machine and ask it to email you the receipt.
Yes.Banks can refuse point blank. I've had this problem when trying to put cash into another person's account.. Banks don't allow this any more. Your tenant will have to either give you the cash personally, make a new payee on their bank account (I have to pop into my bank to do this, but then, I'm an old person ie over 45 years old, even though my face and body describe me as under 25 years old), make a standing order, or you can go and collect the cash. I declare all my cash payments from tenants, but Big Brother and HMRC are watching.
I do not want rent in cash as it suggests I will visit to collect every month. One tenant did pay cash in the bank but another was turned away. They can pay for gas at post office in cash but I do not know the rules for banks. He now has paid via his bank. Maybe he was dodging tax?
You could do this if you blindly follow 1980s legislation but given we are in the middle of a pandemic, the risk of infection and restrictions on one person from one household entering another household you would need to consider if that is the right thing to do.

- Nobody can be forced to be a director of a company (indeed some people are disqualified)
- If you are disabled and you feel the property is not managed according to the law/lease it is better not to be a director (or even a minority shareholder)....
My block of flats has 8 shares. I have one flat and one share. the majority shareholder has 1 flat, 3 shares. She started the building limited company before I moved in, and it's just her and her ex partner on the board. The two of them always end up doing the work on the building...
Because I have had two solicitors now telling me I can't go onto the property to do the work without permission and as we are selling once they are formally evicted I'm not worried if it doesn't get done.
As said above he does sound like a guest and not a tenant, although he may well have a claim on the house via the rules governing inheritance unless the will states something different ..... which given his family position can be challenged anyway....
The ex husband of a friend of mine has died. She is an executor of his estate and is unsure of the situation re her stepson. He receives some benefits (not housing) and has lived in the pool house (more of a shed really) rent free for the last fifteen years. It has a washbasin, a cooker and a heater....
