Thanks guys not that it matters because T has left with more than the deposit's worth of damage on top of rent arrears. The good thing is it is now a criminal case and the CID police had just contacted me. It seems they are keen to hunt T down, so perhaps that can still happen. -
One of our tenants defaulted on his last rent, and we claimed it from DPS. Tenant has to agree for funds to be released, but I think they only have a certain time to respond, and no response is deemed as an agreement to the deductions.Leave a comment:

You can claim for unpaid rent *if* the contract says that unpaid rent may be set against the deposit. (Sometimes contracts don't allow it to avoid T not paying the last month's rent and telling LL he can deduct it from the deposit).Originally posted by VictorKilo3 View Post
So you need to read the contract.
I've never had to use deposit scheme adjudication (ADR) but as claiming via the county court takes at least six months I imagine ADR is a lot faster.I was also told the DPS process can take quite a while as it amounts to a dispute procedureLeave a comment:

That's not right - of course you can claim against the deposit for rent arrears - that's one of the main reasons for taking a deposit in the first place. Technically, your letting agreement should state that this is the case.Leave a comment:

Agent is talking out of his bottom. You can certainly claim rent arrears from the deposit.Leave a comment:

Can DPS deposit be used to pay rent arrears
My T has left thank God, but I was told by my LA that I cannot ask DPS for the deposit to pay his rent arrears owed, only for cost of damages inflicted. Is that right? I was also told the DPS process can take quite a while as it amounts to a dispute procedure (yet another one!).
Anyone out there with a similar story?

I believe that under a shared-facility HMO situation, Council Tax is levied on the whole property.
I'm thinking of buying a Section 257 HMO (a building converted to 4 self-contained studios that doesn't meet the relevant building standards).
I'm being told it is paying 1 council...28-05-2022, 09:28 AM -
Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.My guess is that the issue is a) removing the dead ivy and b) fixing the damaged brickwork.
Ivy is relatively easy to kill, but it usually stays in place when it's dead.
It usually turns brown, which isn't that unattractive (to me), but it doesn't move.
And if the reason...28-05-2022, 09:16 AM -
Has anyone successfully used the act for the purpose it is designed for please? Did the court action take forever to obtain the judgement? I'm about to get notified by my solicitor that we need to go to court to be able to cut the huge ivy growth on the flank wall growing up over the roof now. T I ...26-05-2022, 12:50 PM

Here is another bit of pending legislation/government spittle that has been ill thought through.
My kid has a tenancy which includes Council Tax and Energy as part of the rent. Her rent has gone up a lot as a result of increased cost of these inclusions.
Now after the fact...26-05-2022, 21:42 PM -
Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.I don’t understand why this is even an issue, let alone spending costs on solicitor fee’s and contemplating courts orders.
As I understand it the OP owns the ivy and he owns the wall it is growing up. The OP has a 500 mm pathway to gain access to the ivy and also has access to his...28-05-2022, 09:02 AM -

What does the ast say? Often they say T is responsible for council tax and utilities for the duration of the tenancy. And if it does I'm not sure if there's any material difference between a T living somewhere else or dying (except obviously if dead it's the estate that's liable).28-05-2022, 08:31 AM

Hi Everyone,
I'm seeking advice on when a landlord becomes liable for Council Tax.
Situation: The tenant is Deceased, which means the tenancy continues until the landlord or persons acting with legal responsibility for the Deceased's Estate serve notice to surrender the tenancy....27-05-2022, 13:35 PM -
Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.We did this at our house. Cut through the stems at the bottom of the wall, the ivy dies off but remains clinging to the wall. So the neighbour can still have her view of ivy....28-05-2022, 08:08 AM
