Reply to Section 17 notice on tenant that has disappeared (no new address)

by jpkeates

I'd accept the situation, accept the tenant's surrender and move on.

I think you need to understand the landlord's role a little better if you are going to continue in the business.
Section 17 doesn't sound like the route for recovering your money, and you'd be better off with nothing...

Section 17 notice on tenant that has disappeared (no new address)

by eshroom

I had a tenant recently give me 2 days notice of leaving half through his tenancy.

I explained I was happy to work with him but I'd at least require rent paid until I found a new tenant to replace him.

He'd previously been a good tenant of almost 3 years, during which time...

Reply to Help! Sub tenant with no contract eviction rights

by jpkeates

What makes you a tenant is paying rent for exclusive occupation of a residential property. Which could be a room in a shared house.

In an HMO, the landlord is responsible for council tax (which might be the ultimate landlord in this case - i.e. the person your landlord is renting from)....

Help! Sub tenant with no contract eviction rights

by Yasmenaax

Hi there,

I moved into a property 2-3 months ago which was subletted to me by a girl named on the main tenancy contract of the property. I handed over a deposit (which is currently unprotected) and have paid rent on time. She today decided to give me notice to leave, giving me only 2 weeks...

Are the costs and effort involved really worth it? I'd be tempted to just accept their notice and get the property re-let as soon as possible. Sounds like they probably wouldn't have the money to pay you anyway.

Reply to Help - evicted tenant leaves a nasty surprise behind

by 45002

You need or agent to do what I suggested in post #7 ASAP and see if that stop them changing meter.

As it August soon, it wouldn't surprise me if utilities supplier have already obtained warrant of entry and are going to fit meter ?

Help - evicted tenant leaves a nasty surprise behind

by nreid

My tenant was evicted back in April of this year after a lengthy period.
Besides this trauma, the problems continue.

My new agent has emptied the letterbox and found a number of concerning items. One is the matter of a court summons for unpaid council tax. I have since taken over...

Reply to Help - evicted tenant leaves a nasty surprise behind

by nreid

A very good question. As I don't live in the country, I rely on an agent, which has been a problem all along. I have since appointed a competent one, who immediately showed his competence by looking at the mailbox and letting me know the situation....

Reply to Help - evicted tenant leaves a nasty surprise behind

by doobrey

I have had prepayment meters before and they were not a massive problem. As long as a future tenant can pass the required credit checks they should be able to get a credit meter installed (if they want one, which seems likely).

When it happened to me, I let the property with a prepayment...
