Property abroad

Is a Sitting Tenant allowed to buy a property abroad (or out of interest, in the UK) without joepardising his rights?.
Many thanks.

Unless I'm missing something, yes.

Tenants don't lose rights to do anything else unrelated to their tenancy.
It might affect your rights for social housing I suppose.

When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

As said, this is YOUR property, and they work for YOU..... do not ask them, tell them you are visiting the property and after the inspection you will make a decision, but they should do NOTHING until you come back to them with confirmation of any work you want them to do..... personally i think you...

I'm glad I've found this forum as I'm in need of advice.

I'm a landlord and have rented my property through an agency(can I mention names?) for seven years. The current tenants are due to vacate the property on 20 July and new tenants are due in on 1 August....

Of course you can go into your property when it is empty; of course you don't have to do what you argent says but really - after 20 years you need to replace the carpets!

If you don't get this booked in well in advance of your tenants leaving I can't imagine you will get them fitted before...

by A.Renter
I started renting a ‘studio apartment’ (i.e. a bedsit) in January this year in a three-storey 1930s block – residents are a mix of renters and leaseholders. I am considering asking for rent reduction due to two main issues:
1. Upon moving in I noticed that there is no way to turn off the radiator, as

1. It is unusual for a radiator not to have a lockshield valve. Can you posts pictures of both ends of the radiator?

2. Seems very sensible of the landlord to carry out preventative maintenance of the roof rather than letting things deteriorate further until repairs become urgent and tenants...

The property is yours not the agents, they work for you, therefore you can enter your own property when it is vacant.

The carpets are your decision, but it may be a selling point if new carpets are placed especially after 20 years, and you may get a slightly higher rent, you should also...

by mpppen

Morning.

A tenant living in a property for the last three years has emailed saying there's no handrail on the stairs and they this is is dangerous. They also say there is a large step down to the shed.
