Landlord wants to demolish work provided for free by council?!

by LostAlien

I live in England.

Hello, my landlord has been trying to evict us since we complained about housing disrepair to the council. Last year, before the complaint, our council's social care team offered to build a step to replace the loose bricks (literally) that was a makeshift step at the...

Reply to Deposit Protection change for New ASTs for present Tenant

by DPT57

As above, its better for you to just let the tenancy go periodic. No admin, no cost and more flexibility.

by VictoriaH

Do I need to unprotected and re protect a tenant's deposit on every new tenancy?

Reply to Can I serve Section 21 Notice?

by Rubz2009

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.

Sitting tenant demanding new carpet already

by Ladymucky

I bought a property with a sitting tenant, within the first week they have a list of complaints about the house which needs sorting as the previous landlord didn’t want to know (great). We have had a look at the property and I’m willing to sort most of them.

However, they are demanding...

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...
