For the avoidance of doubt I entirely agree with & support LesleyAnne being displeased with aae's remarks. aae - this is a friendly, usually good humoured, forum with an extraordinary amount of quality advice provided at no charge.. please behave.. (I try, but don't always entirely succeed..)

Cheers!

Reply to Advice for tenant asked for big rent rise

by jpkeates

My tenants get a nice letter with my name and contact details on it, but I want them to talk to my agent, not me.
I try and make it clear that the details are really only if they have a problem with the agent and need to talk to me....

Advice for tenant asked for big rent rise

by Renterthedragon

I’m a tenant facing a sharp rent increase and in need of advice.

I have a good landlord who agreed to a rent reduction last year because of ongoing maintenance issues and lower market values. However, I can only communicate with them through an agency.

Approaching the end...

If you break it down further, it's better for the landlord.
The median time from claim to possession order (which is 60 odd percent of the time, the result) is under 11 weeks (say just under three months), so from that point, possession is pretty much inevitable.
So it's frustrating, but...

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.

And there's no sign of the massive wave of evictions and resulting mass...

Stat's are one thing, reality and being in the middle of trying to get your property back is another, just feel sorry for those LL's who are trying to get back possession even after 27 weeks (7 months) it's a long time!!!

Can't agree more: Such information (landlord, address..) should be available for free, 24/7, not requiring £3 spend.

As in Scotland from the landlord register (I've had prospective tenants telling me they'd checked me out before viewing .. fair enough.)

But in England...

If the property is now in good condition then you might suggest there should have been a £100 pcm rent rise for the first year - when you got a reduction - and a further £100 pcm this year, so £1700. If market rate is around £1800 then I would think this reasonable.

Reply to Section 21 During Contract Period

by ash72

They can serve notice on you during your contract, but can't act upon the S21 notice until the expiry of your contract. They can serve you with a S8 notice during your fixed term contract.

What is the reason why they want you out? If I were you, I would leave before costs and CCJ's come...
