    Access

    Our tenant did not vacate at the end of his lease and is waiting to find somewhere else. He is living in our property without paying rent. My question is we need access for builders to go there. Do we have rights to access at any time. We would notify him of such action first.

    Hope someone is able to help.

    Thanks

    You do not have any access rights unless T grants them; but the tenancy is still continuing and T is still obliged to pay rent. Make him do so!

      For what purpose do the builders require access? For example, is the property structurally unsound?

        Builders need access outside to remove two chimneys.

            Yes - but make sure you get this tenant to pay his rent!

            P.P.
            Any information given in this post is based on my personal experience as a landlord, what I have learned from this and other boards and elsewhere. It is not to be relied on. Definitive advice is only available from a Solicitor or other appropriately qualified person.

              Please clarify: Are the chimneys unsafe?

                This may just be one part of it, as ' ash72' states there are a lot less rental properties now (and it will get worse in the future), rents have sky rocketed and a LL can simply pick and choose the very very best tenant. It has become even more important than ever to get the right tenant, this is due...

                As 'ash72' states you may be angry at the perceived way in which the landlord has treated you but do not mix the two up, If you wish to take on more stress after you have been evicted and may still be looking for a place to live...... which with a CCJ will be all but impossible, go ahead, but i would...

                so basically I’ve read online that i can claim for compensation which will go towards reducing my rent arrears but my solicitor...

                If the agent is refusing the mediate the dispute between the tenant and myself but, is instead asking me to go to court, what are my options in terms of penalising the agent? Apart from firing them, can I get compensation from them failing to provide their services?...
