troubled aerial/ landlord?

28-06-2010, 16:13 PM

im currently one month into a tenancy on a new built apartment. since moving in i have discovered that the aerials in the apartment do not exist. After several complaints to the LA, i keep getting fobbed off with 'Ill pass this on to the landlord' but still not heard from him. I have had sky/ virgin around to install yet none of them are able to do it due to the location. I have offered to get a independant retailer out and to then pass on the cost to which i am told i am not allowed to do this as the landlord wants to carry out his own repairs, yet he is not responding. where do i stand?

Property Owner But Rent Goes Elsewhere

by Cotton

I am the legal owner of a BTL and pay the mortgage

However, my family member is the 'landlord' as she manages the place (e.g. arranges repairs, certificates, liaising with tenant etc).

What I want to know is if it is okay for her to collect the rent to keep for herself? or...

annual leaseholders meeting

by milosz

In a block of flats owned by a limited company of which the leaseholders each have a share of the freehold, a meeting with key agenda items of 'major works/future planning' and 'service charge forecast' is to be held as an 'annual leaseholders meeting' rather than an AGM. The reasons given are that:...

It's not illegal, but it is complicated for tax purposes.
There's a reasonable chance you'll end up being taxed on the income without actually receiving it.

And, as noted above, if you have a mortgage on the property, the terms may not allow such an arrangement....

Reply to Rent arrears 6 months - Moved out without forwarding address

by jpkeates

By just moving out, they haven't ended the tenancy, and, as you don't seem to have served notice yourself, you've left yourself a little exposed.

Using MCOL you have two options.
Use the property's address as the last contact address you've been given.
Unless they redirect their...

Rent arrears 6 months - Moved out without forwarding address

by Purple80

Can I please get some advise on tenants who did not pay the rent for 6 months and have now moved out without providing a forwarding address.
They breached the terms of the contract:

- Pet in the apartment when there is a strict no pet policy on the development...

Section 21 and Gas Certificate

by Mr. Sparkle

About 3 weeks ago I had a gas certificate issued.

I forgot to email the tenant a copy of the document.

I plan to evict the tenant with either a Section 8 or 21 and want to know whether there is any issue regarding the delay to give the tenant the gas cert?

There...

theartfullodger,

It is probably not wise to disclose too much info online.

I will check my mortgage/insurance first... and yes all funds will be disclosed.

Thank you

A landlord does not have to own the property. Do you have a written agreement signed by both covering the relationship between the two of you?

Is she registered with a lettings agent redress scheme?

What training bit experience has she to do this for you?

She is...
