having signed the at5 form with new tenant it has become apparent that the tennant currently in the flat cannot move out . the new tennant now cannot move in how do we stand legally and what should we advise ?

If you cannot get the old tenant out before the new tenancy is due to start it looks like you will be in breach of contract with the new tenant. If the existing tenant gave notice then he is supposed to leave when the notice expires and if he does not and you suffer loss you can sue, but you cannot get him out without a court order. -
at 5 only
thanks . we havent actually signed a tennancy agreement yet as there was always an issue as discussed with the new tennant that the move in date was not know so at the moment only an at5 form has been issuedComment

Scottish AST form?Comment

Its the Scottish housing law equivalent to the old Section 20 form we used to have to issue confirming the tenant was about to enter into an AST (I know you know that but others on here may be not be as old as we areOriginally posted by jeffrey View Post

My advice is not based on formal legal training but experience gained in 20+ years in the letting industry.Comment

Aha- OP never stated that he/she is in Scotland.

I am writing to ask if a handrail is required by any law/regulation for a wide flight of three marble stairs, each about 14cm in height well spaced apart and each with a doormat inset into the centre, which go up to the front entrance door of a residential block of 4 flats. Thank you.16-05-2022, 15:20 PM

Whenever you get a warranty for work, especially works like roofing, you should ask who is underwriting the warranty? You should expect an insurance company will warrant the works, so if the builder goes bust you still have a warranty. This will come with a small extra cost.16-05-2022, 19:20 PM

I asked for a few quotes and went with one below where the builder gave a 10 year guarantee....16-05-2022, 18:00 PM -
