Reply to Letting Agency V Landlord. Landlords right to decide what repairs are carried out.

by jpucng62

Of course you can go into your property when it is empty; of course you don't have to do what you argent says but really - after 20 years you need to replace the carpets!

If you don't get this booked in well in advance of your tenants leaving I can't imagine you will get them fitted before...

Letting Agency V Landlord. Landlords right to decide what repairs are carried out.

by A.Renter

1. Upon moving in I noticed that there is no way to turn off the radiator, as

by DoricPixie

1. It is unusual for a radiator not to have a lockshield valve. Can you posts pictures of both ends of the radiator?

2. Seems very sensible of the landlord to carry out preventative maintenance of the roof rather than letting things deteriorate further until repairs become urgent and tenants...

Reply to Letting Agency V Landlord. Landlords right to decide what repairs are carried out.

by ash72

The property is yours not the agents, they work for you, therefore you can enter your own property when it is vacant.

by AndrewDod

Not planning to respond further as it is not clear whether the your landlord and the FH are one and the same, or why a small roof is taking 520 hours of work.
