Reply to Advice for tenant and section 8 counter claim

by Forgetmeknot

Thankyou for your replies.

Taking on board your comments but interested in how you think it is two separate things….?
One action was the direct cause of another land if I’m in court disputing amount of money owed isn’t that the time to be arguing my case? Not to be receiving...

Advice for tenant and section 8 counter claim

by Forgetmeknot

I wondered if anyone can tell me if it is possible to counter claim for damage, harassment, poss landlord breach in contract and emotional distress in a section 8 eviction.

Reply to Single parent renting

by doobrey

Certainly.

In my view, both sides must be free to choose. If you take away the right of businesses (which LLs are, whether they consider themselves to be or not) to assess risk and respond accordingly they will not be in business for very long. And if the LLs disappear then...

The UC is too help pay for childcare, so she can work ( and does work full time), therefore pay rent/bills etc etc. It just feels like some landlords make sweeping judgements as soon as they hear single parent in receipt of UC

Reply to Advice for tenant asked for big rent rise

by DoricPixie

You don't need to get the details from the Land Registry. The tenant can request, in writing, the letting agency to supply the landlord's contact details citing the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. I'm not sure how wise that would be if it could potentially hack off the landlord although I do wonder...

Advice for tenant asked for big rent rise

by Renterthedragon

I’m a tenant facing a sharp rent increase and in need of advice.

I have a good landlord who agreed to a rent reduction last year because of ongoing maintenance issues and lower market values. However, I can only communicate with them through an agency.

Approaching the end...

by jpkeates

Dct If the reason that your friend can't get a tenancy is because she's a woman or because she has children, it is probably discriminatory.
Which is probably a reason no one is going to explain why she's being turned down.

Being on benefits isn't going to help either - because people...

I can't tell you how hacked off I would be if one of my tenants did that.

Spend £3 with gov.uk land registry and get deeds which will get owner name and address then communicate directly
Agree with above advice

Agent probably wants new agreement signed so they charge landlord fees....
