Taking over management myself- what do i need to do?!?!

07-02-2011, 13:17 PM

Ok, so my letting agent has been a disaster from start to finish and i have decided to take over manegement of my property myself.
there is a tenant in - she is £2995 in arrears but now HSA pay me direct- I do not trust the ex agent to tie things up properly so other than register with a deposit protection scheme and get the keys off agent what else do i need to do?!?
Thanks for any help

Reply to Making a tenant bankrupt - Is it worth it?

by DoricPixie

I don't think you'll achieve much by making the tenant bankrupt other than making it nigh on impossible for the tenant to rent again. A CCJ is enough to make landlords think again but full blown bankruptcy...good luck!. By the sounds of things you are not their only creditor which means any surplus...

If you do go down the route of changing the locks when they are out then may i also suggest that at the same time you place a call with the Police to inform them of this, and request that the neighbourhood team are informed so if the then ex tenant '' kicks off '' upon her return and calls 999 they...

What to do if joint tenants separate or divorce

I have a house rented on a standard AST to the same tenant since 2016. He has rented at other properties of mine on a single room basis for maybe 10 years prior and is a decent guy and very reliable. He is a Latvian and in 2017 he married a lady from Ukraine. He adopted his wife’s son and all 3 have...

You never let them back in once you've changed locks. You pack up all gheir stuff and hand it to them outside or through a window.

Thanks for all the constructive advice I think my way is now clear. I get the impression that the wife will not go quietly no matter how much discussion takes place! Has anyone any experience of exclusion which seems to be a euphemism for changing the locks whilst they are out. Presumably this means...

Whatever happened to the tidal wave of evictions?

by jpkeates

The latest government figures for possession claims have been published, which cover January through March 2022.
That's post Covid restrictions and would probably include most of the last of the Covid backlog.

by Hudson01

I agree with the above comment, why keep calling the council, if you consider their position, if you kick this bullying leech out of your property then the council may have a legal duty to house her !!! They don't want to house anyone they do not have too, so from their perspective it is best if she...
