Reply to Tenant demanding new carpets - is it my responsibility?

by DPT57

Damp in properties is something that is not generally well understood by either tenants or landlords. Tenants tend to believe that it can never be caused by their actions and landlords believe it can only be caused by their actions. I think that the correct response would have been to get a report from...

Tenant demanding new carpets - is it my responsibility?

by HDPM

Hi there,

I am new to this site, so I'm sorry if I have posted this topic in the wrong forum!

I have a tenant who is demanding I pay for new carpets to be fit to hallway/staircase and one bedroom as she uplifted and removed them due to 'damp'. From what I have seen from pictures,...

Reply to Choosing rooms: 12-month AST Joint Tenancy

by DPT57

A joint tenancy is not suitable for this type of set-up. Room only tenancies will allow you to end an individual tenancy without having to re-contract with everyone and to determine who gets which room and even to charge differential rents. There are of course downsides. You will have to pay the Council...

Choosing rooms: 12-month AST Joint Tenancy

by Jay A

I recently set up my first Joint Tenancy and am facing some issues. I have a joint tenancy agreement with my 5 tenants but the tenants are not friends - I found a person for each room, then they signed the joint tenancy together. Now two are moving out at the end of the tenancy. The rent is equal for...

Reply to Which tenancy agreement template do you use and why?

by DPT57

Is your question really which is the best one to use? If so then that has been discussed on the forum a few times with the conclusion that there are no perfect options. The gov.uk model is generally regarded to be the best, but its way too long and not something I'd consider. Most of the other standard...

Which tenancy agreement template do you use and why?

by BTL investor

Interested to know which single let assured short-hold tenancy agreement templates you are all using and why it is your preferred choice.
I assume the in depth detailed ones available from the likes of gov.uk, NRLA and open rent are probably the most popular ones.
Do any of you keep it simple...

Reply to Landlord withdrawing before start of tenancy

by Hudson01

This is what i think, a proposal is exactly that, something in the planning or pre-contract stage.... i would let this one go, it can not be that good for you to attempt legal action surely....

Landlord withdrawing before start of tenancy

by plsdowork

Hi all,

I was due to start a new AST with my current landlord (and a new housemate) from August 1st. It had all been arranged by email, with the only conditions explicitly stated being getting a suitable reference. No mention was made of there being an agreement to be drawn up in the future,...

Reply to Landlord withdrawing before start of tenancy

by DPT57

If its a proposed lease then I think its still at the negotiation stage and not yet a contract. I think you wouldnt really have any basis to sue....

Reply to Tenant demanding new carpets - is it my responsibility?

by ToodlePip10

While I agree to an extent, why do some landlords think it’s ok to leave tenants (and young children in some cases) in houses that have major damp issues for extended periods of time. Then get upset when said tenant feels they must take the issue into their own hands? Not all tenants are in a position...
