    Tds

    Hello this is my first time to go on any Forums so I may get things a bit wrong......

    My question is do I have to put my tenants deposit into the TDS if they are only going to stay for 3 months?
    I can't seem to be able to find this answer anywhere.
    Thank you

    No, you don't have to: As long as you are happy for them to be able to sue you for up to 3xdeposit & that any s21 would be invalid unless you returned it first....

    What makes you so confident they will go in 3 months time?? I'd not bank on tenants leaving at end of fixed term...
    I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

      If they're renting in England or Wales on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement, yes you do.
      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).

      • Evicting a Lodger
        by zv2k
        Hi All. I took in a lodger on a lodger agreement in March. She's a nice lady but very untidy and fairly incompetent. I've got texts from her in the early hours asking why her laptop doesn't work lol.
        Anyway I've received a full cash offer by a Chinese couple to rent the whole flat out for 7 months...

        I was discussing this with a friend earlier, and am in complete agreement with you on this.
        Make sure everything is very well documented around the debt, and any communication, and plan on S8.

        We have a feeling that S21 is going to either be gone or a long time coming back.

        Hearings will also continue to be suspended for the same period.

        It's an extension of 8 weeks for evictions.

      • Closure Order? Am I missing something?
        by mikestew89
        There has been a spate of “Closure Orders” in a nearby town in which the police have shut down problem premises.

        I really don’t see how this solves anything from a crime perspective. Surely the problem just moves with the tenants? Some tenants are problems regardless of where they...

It stated that either party can give notice to quit based on "statutory" requirements. My question is this:Can I give her a 3-month (or 6-month) notice

        In order to protect your investment and the condition of your property it might be prudent to fit a better extractor fan in the bathroom.
        Do you supply a tumble dryer? If not it would be a good idea.

        During inspections is there any wet washing left on airers?

        BACKGROUND
        A year ago I inherited a small 1970s one bedroom flat in Birmingham.


        The flat was originally heated with a couple of electric bar heaters....

        Someone just suggested that to me on the phone. Problem is that I have to give them notice, during which time I doubt they would bother at all....

      • Agent games?
        by JK0
        Here's an odd one: My best flat in Reading fell vacant at end of April, and has now been to let for 2 weeks. My agent suggested £1050, which we got last July, but I said £1000. Yesterday one of agent's flunkies rang and suggested a further reduction due to 'other properties coming on the market'....
