Reply to Refurbishments / Unhappy Tenant

by jpkeates

I'd use that time machine.

If you had agreed to the work being done in September, it's only a matter of it happening at a different time.
When you moved in, neither you nor the landlord could have anticipated being at home pretty much all the time.

I'd suggest living...

Refurbishments / Unhappy Tenant

by london91

Hello,

We live in a two bedroom property in London. I moved in early next year and my housemate moved in shortly after. The landlord said the kitchen would be updated by September, however due to the pandemic and financial reasons, she pushed it back to January 2021. The kitchen and bathroom...

So sorry to read your story. Are you getting all the benefits you should? Go to gov.uk benefit calculators and see what they suggest.

I agree with advice above

Unfortunately, this is why long, (anything more than 6 months) fixed term tenancies only ever benefit the tenant....

Tenants want to leave before fixed term. Do I have to mitigate to find a replacement?

by toys19

Single tenant on 1 bed flat, on fixed 12 month AST, fixed term ends 31/08/21.
Wants to leave asap, has asked me to re-advertise. Do I have to?

TBH I want to try but I am concerned about what happens if I cannot find a good quality tenant in time, my criteria are quite high. I don't...

Reply to Finding a County Court Bailiff

by jpkeates

My guess is that the eviction hold is going to have to be extended until this lockdown ends and then possibly into some places being in a high tier (or equivalent).

I think that an unintended consequence of this policy is going to be an increased number of bankruptcies, as people who would...

Finding a County Court Bailiff

by Slackjawedyokel

Hi,
I have a possession order following a S21 eviction. I'm still awaiting my solicitor gaining a warrant of possession to allow bailiffs to evict (at some point in the future - I'm not holding my breath for Feb 21st...)
I should probably be talking to a county court bailiff to 'get in the...

I agree that its not in your interest to respond. Wait for the courts to tell him that his notice is invalid, which should be in about 10 months time. He would then have to serve you a new notice, so you shouldn't have to leave for over a year.

Reply to Landlady refusing to pay tariff charge electricity share. Help appreciated.

by theartfullodger

Understand you "had" to move because place was being sold. Actually even though a place is being sold - or indeed has sold - does not end a tenancy nor compel tenant to leave. Unless there was a court possession order & bailiffs/|hceo (unlikely in lockdown) you needn't have moved....
