Doors unable to close due to carpet

by Dudely

Hi there,

I moved into a new 1-bedroom flat about a month ago and notice that all the doors (except the front door) can’t be closed fully because it get stuck on the carpet. The bathroom door can’t be closed fully as well but it has a lock on it. Wasn’t really bother with this to...

Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by MR M

The tenancy is a statutory periodic tenancy after the original AST ended. The tenant has rent arrears and a S21 was issued around 3 months ago. There is no deposit and an EPC, gas safety certificate and how to rent guide were all issued previously to the tenant.

I believe that the tenant...

Reply to Lockdown and repossessions

by jpkeates

About 1/3 of successful possession claims result in the actual use of bailiffs.
So the majority of tenants move out after the possession (or, at least, the issue of the warrant).

The only hope is that the non paying tenants leave before bailiffs come since it is clear that the plague is here forever.

Reply to Can I exercise break clause and notice period

by MdeB

Ground 1 does not apply as you do not want to live there.

Ground 2 is for use by mortgage company, not LL.

You are right about agent acting in its interest not yours (which is unlawful, but many do it).

I would suggest talking to the tenants(voice, not email/message...

Can I exercise break clause and notice period

by wildflower

According to the tenancy agreement, I, as landlord, may terminate the tenancy by serving a break notice on the tenant. This is an assured shorthold tenancy and the break notice period must be at least two months. Am I correct in thinking that this means that I would seek possession under Section 8 rather...

Reply to Lockdown and repossessions

by jpkeates

The government has said it will stop eviction by bailiffs where there are local lockdowns.
So presumably they will do the same in the event of a national lockdown.

There are public health reasons not to repossess properties when plague is widespread, so I wouldn't be surprised.
