Reply to Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by jpkeates

The OPs already changed the locks, so they're past any point of an abandonment procedure.

If you wade through the slightly sensationalist article, you will see that a landlord prosecuted for illegal eviction is "typically" fined about £1000.

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.

I believe that the tenant...

Reply to Tenant needing zero deposit and guarantor

by DPT57

I think you make a strong case dekaspace and I do agree that we need a better means of providing security to landlords.

They do need...

Reply to Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by DPT57

If you follow the Housing and Planning Act 2016 abandonment procedure, (even though it was never enacted), then I think you would be very unlikely to receive a prison sentence in the already unlikely event that a court would find in favour of the tenant claiming illegal eviction. The worst case scenario...

Doors unable to close due to carpet

by Dudely

Hi there,

I moved into a new 1-bedroom flat about a month ago and notice that all the doors (except the front door) can’t be closed fully because it get stuck on the carpet. The bathroom door can’t be closed fully as well but it has a lock on it. Wasn’t really bother with this to...

Reply to Do you regularly (or at all) increase rent for existing tenants?

by Berlingogirl

In 25 years I've only increase two rents with the tenant in situ. Apart from that I've not put rents up with one tenant being in a property for 7 years. I increase the rent when a tenant leaves....
