by ChrisDennison

How can you have fair wear and tear on cleaning? Either they have cleaned the place properly or not. Not professionally but properly....

Tenant not cleaned properly at check out

by kesm

Hi all,
The tenant checked out and the inventory clerk advised that the property was not cleaned professionally and there were cleaning omissions.

I got a cleaning company who cleaned properly after check out.
Tenant is requesting full deposit back.
How much do I take...

Rent Review and Late Rent Interest Rate Clauses in AST Agreement.

by Delectable1

Drafting an AST for new tenants. 1yr fixed then (monthly rolling) statutory afterwards.

I'm wondering whether to include a yearly upward rent increase clause. CPI, RPI, fixed or whichever is higher of 2 options?
The rent is competitive, if the tenants are good tenants I'll keep it...

Reply to Tenant pulls out after reference checks, so holding deposit returned in full?

by Ted.E.Bear

The holding deposit does not need to be repaid if a) no agreement is reached by the deadline b) the landlord (and agent) took all reasonable steps to enter into an agreement and c) the tenant did not take all reasonable steps.

Simply not responding for 15 days clearly isn't taking all reasonable...

Tenant pulls out after reference checks, so holding deposit returned in full?

by cuttingman

I read similar posts on the forum and did some Googling, but still not 100% clear.

I had a prospective tenant with a guarantor and she paid the holding deposit and references/credit check were started by the agency. Her guarantor was very difficult and in the end she got a different guarantor....

Did the T clean the Property to a similar condition to when it was Let, less allowance for FW&T?
Did the AST say T was resp for a professional clean?

Reply to Tenant pulls out after reference checks, so holding deposit returned in full?

by KTC

Assuming all that happened within the required timeframe, I don't understand how that can be interpreted as anything other than either the prospective tenant notifying "the landlord or letting agent before the deadline for agreement that the tenant has decided not to enter into a tenancy agreement"...

AST arbitration - legal / agent fees

by Bananaboat

I recently finished my tenancy and the landlord has notified that they will withhold some of the deposit to cover damages. Whilst I agree that I am liable for some damages caused, the amount quoted is excessive (full replacement rather than repair). I am currently deciding whether or not to go through...
