Reply to Do you regularly (or at all) increase rent for existing tenants?

by jpucng62

What are you in it for then? I see this as an investment and as such the aim is to make money. I can do this and give tenants a decent home to live in, but annual rent rises are part of the picture....

Do you regularly (or at all) increase rent for existing tenants?

by ChrisDennison

I would like to gauge your experience on this - in all my properties I have never increased rent in an existing tenancy, regardless of how long the tenant stays. Am I stupid or normal or somewhere in between?

I’m of course happy to adjust to market rent whenever a tenant moves out and...

Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by MR M

The tenancy is a statutory periodic tenancy after the original AST ended. The tenant has rent arrears and a S21 was issued around 3 months ago. There is no deposit and an EPC, gas safety certificate and how to rent guide were all issued previously to the tenant.

I believe that the tenant...

Reply to Lockdown and repossessions

by jpkeates

About 1/3 of successful possession claims result in the actual use of bailiffs.
So the majority of tenants move out after the possession (or, at least, the issue of the warrant).

Reply to Lockdown and repossessions

The only hope is that the non paying tenants leave before bailiffs come since it is clear that the plague is here forever.

Reply to Can I exercise break clause and notice period

by MdeB

Ground 1 does not apply as you do not want to live there.

Ground 2 is for use by mortgage company, not LL.
