Reply to Deposit protection responsibilities

by jpkeates

As I read the legislation, any person receiving a deposit has to comply with the legislation, but the only people who can be sanctioned for not doing so are the landlord(s) (s214).

The s214 sanctions apply to s213(3) and (6) only, both of which apply to landlords who receive tenancy deposits...

Deposit protection responsibilities

Reply to Deducting Cleaning Costs from Deposit

by Piffy

I now believe that one of the tenants had Covid just before vacating and was in a period of Self Isolation, perhaps this is why the Agents suggest a "Deep Clean" to protect the next tenant. It would also explain why when the next tenant was due to move in, our Letting Agent put the tenancy...

Reply to Inherited a few rentals

by Flashback1966

Reply to Renting rooms

by DoricPixie

It wasn't so much tat as a ground for eviction for PRT is wanting to move into the property (for now). It was more that I'd put my heart and soul into making the property nice and it wasn't being cared for as well as I would have liked. I didn't like being at the mercy of a letting agent either particularly...
