AST and relatives

15-12-2011, 16:05 PM

Dear all,

does anyone know if there is any provision in the HA1988 with regarsd to renting to relatives?, i.e. son/daughter. I'm sure I read something about this being an exception to creating a tenancy - but I cannot find anything about it now. Have I imagined this? Thanks all.

No such issue - although if son/daughter intends to claim housing benefit the that may give rise to complications.

It may be that the LL is making sure the LA is doing their job with their property, rather than checking up on you. Is there any reason you don't want both of them looking at the same time, I would have thought it was more efficient then each come separately.

You just need to ensure you...

Just bear in mind, when you are served notice, and don't leave, the LL/ LA will then move towards the courts, once this happens all the costs will then be on the T.

Your best solution is to communicate with the LL/LA as well as search for alternative accommodation, you will have up to 2...

Many thanks all for your reply. Yeah there is nothing on the market at all really, nightmare.

I assume they wish to serve me with a S21 immediately as they gave me 7 days to respond which would tie in with S21 being served two months before my tenancy even ends.

I’ve been...

Duplicate post, original unapproved.

Is the increase in line with market rates?

In the first place try negotiating, legal action should be a last resort. Bear in mind any competent landlord will contact your letting agent for a reference.

A notice, even if valid (many are not) does not end tenancy nor compel tenant to leave.

It will probably be a section 21 notice. Google "nearly legal section 21" for a checklist to see if it's likely to be valid.

Probably 6-9 months before eviction if you excerise...
