Reply to Rental listing timings!?

by ash72

I now only do viewings once the T has left the property, and any repairs/ re-painting has been completed, as first impressions count. Don't rush into the first T that see's the property, I give 24 hours grace period after viewing if the T still interested, so they don't make a pressured decision on...

Rental listing timings!?

by GGprops

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and was hoping to flout the question to any landlords out there.

I have a tenant vacating one of my properties at the end of September, next month. I always question how early (or late) to put the property back onto the market to find new tenants,...

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

by jpkeates

Which is normally a letter through the post asking for details of all the people living there (who are over 16 ?).

I've never heard of anyone...

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

by inthelandlordzone

Hi,

if you are a live in landlord and have a lodgers

are you legally obliged to update the electoral register?

I think the system changed, so that each individual is now responsible for updating their own entry on the electoral register?

I get various...

by ash72

A person who is declared bankrupt has the debt wiped off, while someone with a CCJ you can still try enforce the debt in a couple years time, if they win the lottery for example.

How much of an adverse affect can this have on a tenant?
I've got a tenant who's playing the system, waiting for their eviction and CCJ

Reply to Rental listing timings!?

by Whit

I advertise the property about a week before the tenant leaves with OpenRent and then schedule block bookings over the weekend after they’ve left. This gives me time to do any repairs or touch up the paintwork in the property to make it more presentable.

I also find that tenants who...

Reply to Council tenants still not able to move out after two months is due

by DoricPixie

The tenants sound as though they have sought housing from the council before but, most likely due to a shortage of social housing, instead of getting social housing the council have pointed them to the private rental sector instead. That still does not make them council tenants though.

Council tenants still not able to move out after two months is due

by freezing_sy

Basically council still have not found them the next house. I'm so desperate and need them go. What can I do please? They are foster family, apparently very volunerable as people may think. But they terribly damaged my house, they have also cancelled UC direct payment. I need them go......

I've sometimes advertised a property just before the tenants had vacated, but the viewings were all post tenancy.
And I prefer not to do that, but there used to be good days for advertising rental properties back when people read local papers.
