So yes they can fall on the charity of the state, but it is somewhere i would not wish to be in 2021.

My tenant did not ask me after the eviction for a reference. He knows I would not give it to him. He can ask his previous landlord who went out of his way to give him a very long glowing reference.
I wonder if I should contact the previous landlord and tell him what happened or best to forget this saga. I am selling now. The end.

For a reference I would stick to "I couldn't recommend Mr X more highly !"

Been in this situation, it's tough and morally not comfortable. But you have to look out for yourself, no-one else will...
Also, issue s8 with 5 days notice? That can't be right?

I was in this situation a few weeks ago, when i had to evict Ts from my property. Another prospective landlord rang me himself to ask for reference. I just gave a honest review verbally and wouldn't put anything down in writing.

Please don't give a reference that might lead another LL to take on a bad tenant.

immoral.... yes, the legal side of anything would be impossible to prove.
But why do you need too, you give the reference when he or she goes, if on a S21 they go anyway (reference or not). I certainly would not give a glowing reference to someone who i was evicting, not a chance.

Reply to Winter of Unpaid Billsby JBJ01While many on here worked their socks off for years during the day and then evenings and weekends putting their money into property, many others decided to live for the day and have total disregard for the future and what it may bring.

by jpucng62Does anyone think their tenants are ready for the huge rises in energy bills this winter? Given that unit prices are expected to more than double from where we are now (and that is a big rise already) does anyone think tenants really have a grasp on this?
With mortgage rates going up fast...-

Reply to Winter of Unpaid Billsby DPT57I'm more concerned at the possibility of a winter of unheated rental properties and then the tenants expecting me to deal with the resultant mold.

Reply to Dps depositby CodgerI think the deposit of five weeks rent is more trouble than its worth. Not taking deposits means being a bit more selective in choosing tenants.
Considering the value of the asset the tenants are trusted with the deposit rules are crazy. But thats only one of the red tape obstacles to being a...-

Reply to Winter of Unpaid Billsby jpkeatesThe daft thing is that because people will owe them the money, it won't even affect the energy company profits.

Reply to Dps depositby jpkeatesLooking after a significant amount of someone else's money is not a trivial undertaking.
I spent most of my career designing and building business solutions to replace manual processes.
So I have a reasonable idea of what's possible.
There's nothing in it but downside...-

Reply to Winter of Unpaid Billsby Hudson01As said the idea of simply not paying is in the realms of crazy. They can get a warrant and fit a pre-payment meter to the house without your consent, i understand they will not be able to do this with everyone but the message will soon go out if they target the 1st few thousand, and as said your credit...

Reply to Dps depositby gnvqsosYou accept and defer ,and I take the view that the DPS could set up a programme where the incoming receipt of fund(and email details) could trigger the transmission of information relating to the DPS, and its processes. It means there is one less thing to go wrong. I like an easier life and do not take...
