by Hudson01

You are right to be worried, you have to do all you can to find out what kind of charity they are, anything along the lines of ex offenders, the mentally ill or substance abuse individuals then your house price will drop like a stone, it may need planning permission, ask the council if they have any...

Reply to Cheapskate landlord wants to end tenancy

by Hudson01

To be totally blunt, i feel you have had the very best of it with the previous LL, I would be looking very actively for another property to move too. What ever you do in the end the LL can simply keep increasing the rent until you have to move and in the meantime you will have all the stress, when the...

Reply to Property damaged. Advice please

by Hudson01

I can see that from a laymans point of view that is correct, but when you talk/deal with individuals who have attempted suicide it's simply not the case, if this was a genuine cause for concern and the Police forced entry they did it in the belief that his life was in danger, from himself probably....

Property damaged. Advice please

Apologies if something similar has already been covered elsewhere. I did try to search but couldn't find anything that matched my situation particularly closely. A huge thanks in advance to any of you who do take the time to read and advise.

Garage left filled with tenant's goods

by robbo2233

Hi! Hoping the forum can advise me. We have a lock-up garage in a residential estate that had been let to an individual who ceased to pay monthly rental. Notice to quit was served by our letting agents Countrywide in October, and yet the tenant's goods still remain in situ. Agents have advised...

Reply to Property damaged. Advice please

by Lawcruncher

The point here is though that the tenant's obligations under the tenancy cannot extend to repairing parts of the property which the landlord is under an obligation to repair.

Outside the tenancy, anyone, including a tenant, who damages property must meet the cost of repairing the damage....
