to clarify, my landlord hasn't been abroad/in hospital, etc. he's simply an incompetent idiot. and possibly ridiculously rich.

I disagree. If you are too busy to check your bank account occasionally then you are probably rich enought to employ someone else to do it and then to get on to the LA/the non-payers on noticing discrepancies. With online banking, there is no reason why being abroad should make any difference at all. In hospital - very unusual to be in hospital for 10 months and most people who are, generally appoint someone else to oversee their business affairs. In prison - unlikely to be a LL of an student HMO if in prison, as ex-convicts are unlikely to be granted HMO licences.Originally posted by jeffrey View Post

I disagree with your disagreement with my disagreement. As usual, you're living in a pretend version of the real world.Originally posted by mind the gap View Post
Many people:
a. do not have or want online banking;
b. are long-term hospitalised (inc. mental health establishments);
c. let on HMOs dating from before the newLabour licensing requirements (so now being in prison would be irrelevant to the new fit&proper test); and
d. live in countries that lack easy internet availability or, in some cases, even electricity.JEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*

Some people fit this description.

Please do not get so ratty and rude about it.

I agree on that, at least. I did not claim 'most' (= well over half) but 'many' (= a significant proportion, even if only a minority).Originally posted by mind the gap View PostJEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*

Two other possibilities is the landlord is getting paid by S/O, or guaranteed rent.Originally posted by jeffrey View Post

Most people would understand 'deluded' to mean divorced from reality/living in a fantasy world, which is exactly what you seem to be saying (about me). So, although I cannot thank you for your honesty, I'll say thank you for your bluntness and sign out!Originally posted by jeffrey View Post'Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation fo the first link on one memorable day'.

Still wrong, I fear. You are only pretending that something demonstrably true is not, a common problem with those of the Left. You are therefore not suffering delusions as you feared (nor are you, in your own words, divorced from reality/living in a fantasy world: hence that's not what I was saying!)JEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*

There is no such thing as a 'share' of the rent. All joint tenants are jointly and individually liable for the whole of the rent. So you'd better make sure your housemates have saved up too.Originally posted by jennyweasley View Post
No, insofar as the landlord cannot claim against her for unpaid rent because she's not his tenant. It's the tenants named on the tenancy agreement who are liable, including the one who left. Legally, she's still one of the joint tenants.also, forgot to mention this, but one of the old tenants (one of the one's that signed the 11 month contract) moved out at the end of the contract and a new tenant moved in who also hasn't been made to sign anything. can she be legally made to pay rent?Comment

What was the alleged nature of this deposit (holding, security, etc)? Because, given that the tenancy has been ongoing since you first moved in, it makes no sense to pay a further deposit. Did you originally pay a security deposit and was it protected in a scheme? If so, that security deposit is still held against the current tenancy.Originally posted by jennyweasley View Post
No, you don't have to sign a new contract. However, your rental liability is not dependent on whether or not you've signed a new contract. You're still liable for the past 10 months' rent because the original tenancy is still ongoing, having automatically become a statutory periodic tenancy after the fixed term expired.If they ask us to sign a contract now, do we have to sign and pay for the past 10 months?
Yes.Can they take us to court for unpaid rent if none of us have signed a contract?Comment
