Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

by jpkeates

The problem is that the EICR is a safety issue.
And there is the potential of a large fine if one isn't carried out by the end of this month.

I have had one check done while the tenant was working from home.
They had to take half a day off work to allow it to be completed, and...

Maintenance access home working tenants

by Morleyman

Wondered if anyone can clarify where I stand needing to have electrical maintenance carried out on a rental property where tenants work from home due to COVID. The electrician I am using only works weekdays but my tenants have said this work cannot take place during the week as they can’t have the...

Reply to Voided AST ?

by jpkeates

It would be possible to create a tenancy agreement that was not made as a contract until other documentation was supplied to the tenant.

Reply to New tenant credit check

by Berlingogirl

Why aren't we supposed to look at social media? I always do and have rejected one tenant for my HMO because all his photos showed him with a pint in his hand and out with the lads which gave me a really bad feeling. Unfortunately, he arrived in a gang of contractors so I couldn't really refuse him....

New tenant credit check

by Wumingshi1

Hello,
I wonder if anyone could recommend a credit check service please?
I have seen a few posts recommend openrent but just wondering if that's what everyone is using?

Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

by ash5050

Agree with the above really.
If the issue for the tenant is working hours then find someone who will do the work evening or weekend.
If the issue is covid concerns then leave it unless it is a proper safety issue....

Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

by cymro123

If it is not an emergency, urgent or a safety issue I would not attempt to enter a tenant's home until the COVID restrictions are suitably eased to allow people from one household to enter another household (step 3?). Aside from the risk of infection between occupiers and employee/contractor is it right...
