Reply to Sitting tenant demanding new carpet already

by jpkeates

How "sitting" is the tenant?

Are they a rent act tenant or simply someone who was on an AST when you purchased the property?

Sitting tenant demanding new carpet already

by Ladymucky

I bought a property with a sitting tenant, within the first week they have a list of complaints about the house which needs sorting as the previous landlord didn’t want to know (great). We have had a look at the property and I’m willing to sort most of them.

However, they are demanding...

Reply to If tenants stay after Section 21 expires, can they just leave at any time?

by jpkeates

How much tenancy law do you expect the tenant to know?

You can only end the tenancy with the support of a court.
The tenant can only end the tenancy by giving valid notice or by surrendering the tenancy.

It wouldn't invalidate the notice, but it seems a little fantastical....

If tenants stay after Section 21 expires, can they just leave at any time?

by freddycd15

Hello all,

The tenant is on a Statutory Periodic Tenancy. If a valid Section 21 notice has been served and the date to leave expires but the tenant is still in the flat (given no court order or bailiffs are present):

1) Does the Statutory Periodic Tenancy still stand?

Reply to My Deposits

by jpkeates

Lots of people seem to think this.
They can invest the money while it's in their possession and generate income that way, but they can't convert it to their own ownership.

It's possible that there's some process that uses the limitations act, so that there's no possibility of anyone...

by DPT57

Not much in recent years. A little more now.

The Insured scheme is not advisable for anyone other than a "professional landlord" imo as the deposit becomes unprotected if you forget to renew the insurance and the penalties of this are out of all proportion to any disbenefits of...

Reply to Action after Section 21

by jpkeates

The choice is really between the accelerated and the non-accelerated procedure.
There's not so much time difference now, but there is a possibility that there won't even be a hearing with the accelerated procedure, which would be less stressful.

Action after Section 21

by blueash

I use an agent and they in turn have passed my issue over to a firm of solicitors (I pay for an enhanced management).

Following on from the Section 21 and the people not moving out on the date mentioned I have been given a choice as to whether I want possession only or possession and arrears...

by freddycd15

Thanks for the replies.

If the notice expires and the T is still in the flat, I would like the T to leave but not without some sort of notice (perhaps a week like I've mentioned).

I understand I may not get a nice convenient notice period, I would just like to know the rights...
