my eviction notice was all done correctly however the judge read it wrong and threw my case out. when i pointed their error the to court official they wanted me to write a letter stating this. All this causing the delay to evict the tenant. where do I stand.

Guess what - the judge is human.

On what (wrong) grounds was the section 21 thrown out?

Check the EPC. Rented houses are supposed to be EPC-C by 2025 for new tenancies. You don’t want to have to tear the place apart after a few years to add insulation. If I was buying, I’d want at least EPC-B to add some future-proofing.
Good luck!

Hello all, I am a prospective landlord. I will be arranging my first mortgage in principle today as a start to my evil buy-to-let empire. As a total newb, what would be the one piece of advice you would give after your years of experience as a landlord?

Yes, that's how it sounds to me.

I would phone agent, now, and try to get this resolved. If no progress, and if you haven't got contact details, you could try asking agent if you could speak direct to LL. Agent acts for LL and in most cases it is the landlord who is ultimately responsible....

My partner has recently signed a lease through a well known property agent in London.

Upon signing the lease...

This seems to be the case. Despite giving all requested info to the agent 2 weeks ago, the agent did not contact any of her references until yesterday.

Employment reference was not contacted until the day before the move-in date... agent is clearly incompetent and only concerned with closing...

What you need to do is the say to the agent: "Have we got a contract or not?" If he says you have not, then ask for a refund of the rent and deposit because he has no right to keep them if there is no contract. If he says there is, then ask him to point out where in the contract it says you...

Perhaps what is going on here is that the agent messed up? Didn't do the background checks they were supposed to, causing the LL to demand that they be done?

However, if all signed and no conditions stipulated, it seems to late to add these requirements now. Agreed it sounds like breach...

Reply to Taking tenant AND guarantor to small claims court for rent arrears - options?

by DoricPixie

Organisations such as NRLA have lots of information for landlords although you do have to join. Shelter and Shelter Legal both have lots of information although really it’s for tenants rather than landlords but there’s nothing stopping you as a landlord reading it.

You might be able...

Hi All,
