Reply to Claiming back reduced rent from tennants deposit

by sparky1970

Thanks everyone for the responses.

Contractually the deposit can be used to offset any unpaid rent and there is not an early exit clause.
I doubt very much that the tennant will move abroad and from my previous checks the tennant has assets based in the UK.

My concern...

Claiming back reduced rent from tennants deposit

by sparky1970

Hi All,

I am sure that this topic has been covered a lot recently but I wanted to ask for specific advice.

I have a private (residential) tennant paying £10,000 per month in rent in North London. The tennant has asked to reduce the cost in our agreement by 25% to £7,500 per...

Reply to Peeling paint. Who is responsible?

by MdeB

I agree with others that you are not responsible.
If you are somehow found responsible, then I would say your liability is limited to 4/5 original cost (I would expect a let property to need redecorating every 5 years).

Do not attempt to redecorate: LL could use that to say you did...

Peeling paint. Who is responsible?

by Kilburn

I'm renting a small basement flat and will be moving at the end of the tenancy soon.

There are damp issues in the flat with wet patches of wall in the kitchen and bedroom. These are visible in check-in report photos and noted in the report. We have brought it up with the letting agency...

Reply to Been working abroad and now wish to sell my rented property

by JK0

There are companies who advertise in the Sunday papers who will buy tenanted property at 85 to 90% of vacant value. Is that worth investigating?

Been working abroad and now wish to sell my rented property

by Madhouse

I have been renting out my only property for the last few years whilst working abroad and now wish to sell my property. The tenants have always been made aware that at any time we may have to give them 2 months notice due to job uncertainty and would then move back into the property and /or put it up...

Reply to Landlord not paying maintenance charges on time to property management co.

by Perce

What would you do if you were not getting rent, could not evict the tenant and had no money to pay service charges. You cannot sell the flat with unpaying tenant. The management company should give maintenance charges holiday to the owners. Even banks give it. Would you be happy to be made bankrupt?...

Landlord not paying maintenance charges on time to property management co.

by GeeMan16966

I have just joined the property management company as company secretary for a recent move I made. I have a quick question about a landlord who is renting 1 of the flats out but is paying 6 months in arrears for maintenance charges, when the deeds do state payment in advance. The previous directors and...

Reply to Property Management Question

by Hudson01

Sounds ok, i gather the company is Ltd ? If so then i am unsure why either director would need to be a resident, the business of the company is to manage the work needed to be done to the properties, being a good director is more important than owning one of the flats/properties etc.

Property Management Question

by GeeMan16966

We have 2 directors, 1 is a resident and is 1 a non-resident, is this permitted? As the non-resident has no vested interest.
Cheers...
