They may not show-up as having set-up elsewhere yet or have generated updated information about...

Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by MR M

The tenancy is a statutory periodic tenancy after the original AST ended. The tenant has rent arrears and a S21 was issued around 3 months ago. There is no deposit and an EPC, gas safety certificate and how to rent guide were all issued previously to the tenant.

Reply to Renovation/Improvements vs Repairs / Maintenance

by newtenant9011

You can prevent the landlord from entering, as you have a right to quiet enjoyment, you can even replace the locks if you would like.

In turn, the landlord could issue you a section 21 notice, but the notice period is 6 months currently plus the court backlog.

Rent Rises in 2020

In addition LHA rates have increased substantially for anyone needing support which appears to have had the knock on effect of increasing the rent of properties now...

These are very interesting comments, one of my councils (South West) told me they had to stop these services unless in public areas.

Reply to Rats

by Berlingogirl

I contacted my council and the rat man came out a couple of hours later with a T shaped tube thing full of blue grain which he put behind some bushes in the garden. It was free. I've not seen any rats since but the blue grain is going down. Apparently slugs and mice will also eat the bait....

Reply to Call to courts to initiate reactivation

by Jon66

You can send the information to court quoting the case number and ask them to include it in the bundle. If it's a mandatory ground the information will make little if any difference to the outcome.
