Are you looking for something specific? The only "lists" are the housing acts and related legal acts, which are very heavy reading!Any posts by myself are my opinion ONLY. They should never be taken as correct or factual without confirmation from a legal professional. All information is given without prejudice or liability.

I seem to recall some previous posts stating that it was illegal to do BUILDING works on a Sunday so it may be worth searching the form for that.
The best way to find out for sure is ask your Local Authority or Environmental Health Department as I understand it's them that deal with those kind of breaches in regulations.Any information or opinion given in this post is based only on my personal experience, what I have learned from this, other boards and elsewhere. It is not to be relied on. Definitive advice is only available from a Solicitor or other appropriately qualified person. E&OE

Ahh that would make more sensemust admit I would be surprised if this were the case however. There are certainly regulations on what time of night and morning works should go on to and commence, respectively.

and I'm pretty certain those regs cover Sundays certainly, but not sure about Saturdays. Just don't know what the regulations are
I suppose it also depends on what "building" works the Op wants to do ?

That said, there might be local bye-laws to this effect in Lambeth, who knows? Furthemore, if you did undertake extensive, noisy, and prolonged works at a weekend to the objection of neighbours, it would be very likely that ultimately you'd get jumped on by the local environmental health dept.

Saturday 8/9 till 1pm - Sundays as far as i know "no works are to be carried out" however if a council wants to work - they can (strange huh) If your tenants want to complain about working on a Sunday to Environmental Health they will be unable to untill 6 or so PM as nobody will be on the switchboard by that time - the damage is done!

Reply to Does Tenant Need 30 days notice?by nukecadI'd be asking why they say that they are getting less than LHA rate?
There are a few things that could do that:
If the actual rent is less than LHA rate, then only the actual rent is paid. (Doesn't seem to apply here).
It they are subject to the benefits cap in UC it's the Housing...-

by Mr. SparkleI'm increasing the rent for a tenant on Universal Credit
They have verbally agreed the rent increase (which is above the LHA rate)
I'm sending them a letter to confirm the new amount.
I would like the new start date for payment to be in two weeks (i.e. the new...-

Reply to Reference paymentby 1600eI wouldn't fill it in either unless I wanted the tenants gone.
why should the LA pay?
It's obvious the tenant should pay for something that long but the government have unintentionally (?) Dicked tenants over in this case.-

by jase222Hi,
I have a tenant who's leaving shortly and a letting agent sent through letter asking for a reference for the tenant, in the letter there was also 4 pages of questions about 120 to be precise.
I know it will take best part of a hour as quite a few are detailed and require looking...-

by landlord-manI have a statement on my Inventories which allows the Tenant 7 days following move-in to highlight (in writing) any errors and/or discrepancies within the Inventory provided to them.
If there are any, I visit with them and agree (or not) to update the Inventory - both parties then sign...-

Reply to Is it an HMOIt's a HMO. AST is fine but may miss opportunity to list certain responsibilities of tenants. May need licence - check with council.
Check with council what regulations you need to comply with.-

by EnyalaHouse has been let to 4 tenants on an AST. They are a couple, plus two single friends. Does this mean it should be an HMO and should not have been let on a AST basis? Your feedback would be much appreciated. TIA.

by BerlingogirlI think it probably would - every tenant's a gardener until it comes round to actually gardening! On a serious note, the glass might be regarded as a hazard for children if it's not safety glass and the electrics are just another thing to be checked for the electrical certs.
You could...-

by PiffyI have a property which has a really nice Greenhouse in the Garden.
It is of a reasonable size and in good condition. Electricity and Water
Although not a gardener I wonder if when the house comes up for rent it would attract more potential renters.
And of course it is extra storage,...-
