    Landlord liability post sale

    Dear All,

    Quick q I have.
    Should a tenant make a claim of disrepajr and Landlord sells to another buyer via auction - would liability be still with the original landlord?

    It depends. See s3 of Landlord & tenant act 1985.

    Are you Tenant, old Landlord, new owner, agent, law student or other., please?
    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...

      My tenant lied to me saying he missed the first universal credit payment. But actually according to one of my friend the payment normally only take two weeks to come directly to the bank account. What can I do? Can I find a way to let the universal credit directly make overdue rent payment? I really...

      The presence of a plastic consumer unit cover would normally be a c3 hazard, but I understand it could be higher if there are other related risks, such as where there is older wiring or poor bonding. In the end I beleive we will either have to become electrical experts ourselves or find trustworthy...

      Hi

      I noticed a new law means landlords need to arrange an EICR for new tenancies after July 2020 or before April 2021.

      Please can I get some advice on this? I started a tenancy in May 2020 - this is due to expire in November 2020. However it is likely the tenancy will be renewed...

      The guidance says that preparing a property for rent or sale is work that is allowed to be done in this phase of the lockdown.
      And staying in another property for work is allowed.

      Yes, I agree about the acting reasonably and interestingly the legislation seems to allow for this too through the use of the word "include"

      For the purposes of paragraph (1), the circumstances in which a person (“P”) has a reasonable excuse include cases where....
