by jpucng62As soon as he is in arrears do a MCOL and if he won't pay get a CCJ against him - that will make his next property harder to obtain.

If I were to agree what paperwork (contract?) do I have to have in place? If I agreed to his proposal what rights would he have as a tenant during...-

Reply to Evacuation of Tenantby nukecadJust to note that you should only deduct their usual rent for the period they were in the alternative accommodation, even if it cost you more than that. (If it cost you less then you win a bit).
ie. They should only pay their normal rent, you or your insurance should cover any extra. (That's...-

by berrahriThere was a landslide and my Tenant had to be evacuated. They cannot return because access to the property is not safe.
They had been reasonably okay Tenants, but as soon as this event occured they have treated me like the enemy! Everything I have advised appears to have been treated with suspicion...-

by Jon66Service is governed by the CPR and practice directions. Easy to look up if you Google CPR rules. I think its 6. It is perfectly ok to hand deliver making a note of date and time and confirming this in a sworn witness statement, although I also get a photo too where possible. Otherwise through the post...

Been reading online and seems to be mixed responses about the best way to serve it.
I initially thought recorded or special delivery would be the best as it is tracked however if it's not received it can be deemed...-

Reply to Evacuation of Tenantby berrahriThank you for your response, we have already settled the Deposit and I will now propose as you suggest with the rent return, deducting the alt accommodation cost. Hopefully they will accept and we can move on.

Reply to Evacuation of Tenantby Jon66It's a civil matter. If your tenants were unable to remain in the property the usual position, unless the TA says you will provide alternative accommodation, is that the contract is frustrated and void from that point. The right thing to do is to refund the monies either from the date at which they...

HOW has tenancy ended? Notice from tenant or court order?
A fixed term tenancy is always, if tenant remains, followed by an ongoing, rolling, periodic tenancy. Thatcher's 1988 Housing Act says so.
