Hi
I am a L and am going on a 8 week holiday. Do I need to inform the tenants?

I wouldn't. They might want to come with you.
Seriously...if nobody else is managing the property in your absence, it might be an idea to give them a number where they can contact you in an emergency. (One which relates to the property, at any rate).

If you do not, what will you do when you return and discover that the water tank in the roof has burst. The tenants are claiming for illegal eviction, the property is sodden and mould-ridden.
How do they normally contact you?? I always give tenants my mobile (even if there is an agent) and last May in Malta received a call from Polish tenants with a problem, as I always take my dog...
Cheers!

I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

I am struggling to understand the connection...

Ah! (Low-energy light-bulb comes on in head). That makes a bit more sense.
Still not sure about the use of 'as', but never mind.

1. Public advice is believed accurate, but I accept no legal responsibility except to direct-paying private clients.
2. Telephone advice: see http://www.landlordzone.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=34638.

Good try, Jeffrey, but I was puzzled by the pragmatic implications of 'as' rather than the semantic ones - and 'as' for 'has' would lack grammatical coherence in this context anyway!
Have a Smartie for trying, all the same.

I am very sorry to hear about the issue, i can add little more to what has already been said above, I am one of those lanldords spoken about in terms of about to sell up........ all that has been pointed out as to why we are all leaving is totally true, it has simply become too much hassle and with...
I agree with one of the other posts, Company A should have sorted the whole job, it sounds like a 10 mins job with maybe a collar for the pipework being tightened up and then some basthroom sealant ...........you are right.......... just under a ' monkey'' (Arthur Daley speak) for what is a simple pipe...
We have a London flat managed by an agent (full management service).
My husband and I were abroad, and got a call from the council saying the property was leaking sewage into the flat below. We contacted our agent immediately who sent someone around the same day (Company A).
What does your agreement (or terms & conditions sent) with this say about such queries, please? I'd start there first & then probably their complaints process (if they have one)
Is this the lettings agent on the block (of flats) management agent please?
The pipework was found to be sound. I think Company A were there as an emergency "see if it's sewage and shut off the water if necessary". They said it was a pipework problem and a sealant problem. Company B carried out a full audit on the pipes and found it was only a sealant problem....
The letting agent engaged all of them. We gave them an instruction to fix whatever the problem was after the notification from the council there was a problem - we pay for a full management service.
I doubt the agency will give us money back because they've paid it out directly to the contractor,...
