Reply to Anti Social Neighbour and potential Vermin problem

by Hudson01

Not strange at all in my world, its very common, the biggest issue is getting other residents to give a statement to either the Police or the council, they are very fearful or revenge attacks etc..... as an aside i can see this being the main issue with the new ' White Paper ' and its tackling of ASB...

Anti Social Neighbour and potential Vermin problem

by red_boots2

My tenant informed me yesterday she thought she'd seen a Rat or Mouse in the Kitchen, I only live 5 mins away and popped over to have a look. I couldn't see any entry/exit points or any signs of droppings, however behind the kickboards under the boiler pipes were some partially eaten Easter eggs and...

"The house generally has a lot of faults but the rent is low."

This is perhaps the crux of the matter. Whilst the LL should repair faults they are also entitled to increase the rent to market levels.

How to resolve disrepair which is impacting my mental health

by KevinB47

Hello

I have lived in my home for 2 years and the landlord is ignoring disrepair which I report to him directly.

In May 2022 I reported that every time it rains, the conservatory leaks in various places and the rainwater drips through and causes leaks on the floor.
I...

Agree totally with the above, the solicitor you contacted sounds idiotic, contact the council and go from there, yes the landlord will not doubt try and evict you but in all honesty the place you are in now does not sound great, and it cannot be helping with your mental health issues. The way the market...

Reply to S21 served during replacement tenancy

by jpkeates

Break clauses are tricky - because often whether or not something is valid comes down to the interpretation of fairly ambiguous clauses.

But my reading of that is that the section 21 notice that you have been sent can't constitute a break notice.
The risk was that while the notice...

S21 served during replacement tenancy

by Andyhambwa

Hi,

We were renting since June 2021 for a year and just recently signed tenancy agreement for another year. A week after that we received s21 from our landlord with 2 months notice.

Our tenancy agreement contains a break clause which mentions period after 4 months of the initial...

Reply to S21 served during replacement tenancy

by DoricPixie

The law is completely on your side in this matter. You don't need to do anything although you can if you wish inform the landlord the notice is not valid. Should the landlord go as far as court you simply point out you have a fixed term contract and the notice is invalid....

Reply to S21 served during replacement tenancy

by Andyhambwa

Could anyone advise please what I, as a recipient of an invalid s21, should further do in such situation?
The law doesn't seem to be on tenants side as we can't even be officially reimbursed for the harm done and any costs coming from this unexpected eviction
