Thanks, will update my document.
Presumably the intention is that the case is heard locally, not anywhere.
Or maybe it's just a drafting convention.

Reply to Notice period?by KTCBoth section 21 (no reason) and section 8 (ground 1 or 13) are six months at the moment.
If we get to end of the month and the increase notice period is not extended, then s8g13 would only be 2 weeks, but that's a discretionary ground. Section 21 or s8g1 would then be two months.-

by JarekI know that because of COVID as a landlord I must provide 6 months’ notice (AST fixed term finished, now rolling contract). What about tenants who breached the contract (by subletting) - do I still must give them 6 months notice? Any insight?

by A.RenterHello,
I rent a house from a landlord (generally pretty decent and helpful). I did a thorough mopping of the floor a while back, which is made up of interlocking wooden plywood slats. Unfortunately some of the water must have drained below, causing some of the slats to 'bubble' and rise...-

Reply to Voided AST ?by kip22Im a Landlord, and I happily rescind the AST if I had failed to supply a gas cert, EPC, How to rent guide, receipts etc before a tenancy started and after the term start date if the tenant asked due to my mistakes. And return the £4000 (deposit, Months rent and fees) and count myself lucky.
