Reply to Can I serve Section 21 Notice?

by Rubz2009

Ah ok, so i guess this is just housekeeping then, the way i have recorded it on my excel spreadsheet :-) but understood. Therefore my tenant is 3 months in arrears so i can use ground 8. I know they can clear the debt before it goes to court but even still i can use ground 11 on them which i know a...

Can I serve Section 21 Notice?

by Rubz2009

Hi was hoping for some advise.
I have tentants in my property on a AST agreement which started in 2013 and has been rolling to date. Tenants are behind on their rent by a couple of months (during covid times which they believe they still do not need to pay) and also always late on monthly payments...

Reply to Sitting tenant demanding new carpet already

by DPT57

It sounds like establishing some boundaries is going to be important with this tenant. I would suggest you stick to your guns and get a professional carpet cleaning company in to say whether they can get rid of the smell.

Reply to Bed Bugs v Mice Responsibilities

by Dreamingofsea

I think mice are landlords responsibility if there are obvious holes in the fabric of the building through which mice can get through. . It’s the tenants responsibility if they live in a pig sty. If their kitchen is a mess etc the mice will think it’s a nice restaurant and make a cozy home near...

Bed Bugs v Mice Responsibilities

by VictoriaH

Am I right in assuming bed bugs are tenants responsibility to pay for?
And mice, ours as landlords?

Rationale:
Bed bugs are caused by tenant messiness/ bringing them in.
Mice access via communal areas. So tenants can't be blamed for this.

Does this rationale...

Reply to Is a landlord legally obliged to update electoral register on behalf of tenants?

by jpkeates

It doesn't work like that.
And just because I can't find a definition, doesn't mean there isn't one!

The local electoral registration office sends a registration form annually to each property (I think it's addressed to the occupier, but I can't remember) and the recipient has to...

by inthelandlordzone

Hi,

if you are a live in landlord and have a lodgers
