Reply to Access to sheds

by endymion

Well, partly, but mainly I'm considering whether the sheds would have to be explicitly excluded from the tenancy in the AST. It's a question of what would be considered the default position in law....

Access to sheds

by endymion

Hi. We have been renting a flat for the past decade under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. The flat is one of five in a single block. The back garden contains a large outbuilding comprising ten sheds. Implicitly, then, two sheds per flat. The inventory does contain the wording 'Garages, Sheds, Outbuildings:'...

Reply to Access to sheds

by endymion

- Would the law consider that having granted that use, the LL cannot unilaterally withdraw the use of those sheds?

Electrical Safety Certificate EICR

by Ozzie11

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...

Reply to Access to sheds

by AndrewDod

There may or may not be a lease in that case. But there might be. If there is a lease, then it makes no difference that the lessee and freeholder happen to be the same people. If there are no leases, I cannot see that you have any particular rights beyond the flat that you lease. The presumption in...

Reply to Mould/witholding rent/C19 eviction rights

by MdeB

And, maybe, treating hte mould when it appears.

In my shower room:
1. I use a "squeegee" to remove most water from walls, screen, and
