Reply to What does my Gas Safety Certificate mean?

by nukecad

No problem.

Ir's just advisory and appears on many GSCs.

The rules advise that an electrical earthing bond should be within a certain distance (3 metres?) from the gas meter.

Many are not that close, but as long as there is an earthing bond then it's a pass.

What does my Gas Safety Certificate mean?

by Mandryka

You see a gas safety certificate which says the appliances are OK -- but there's a problem with the equipotential bonding. I've cut it up to preserve some anonymity.

Is this a failed gas safety certificate? The tenant wants to renew their AST -- do I have to correct the problem and issue...

Overseas Landlords

by Santa Fe

I'm from UK but live overseas and recently discovered that I should be registered as an overseas landlord. I've done a bit of research on what it involves and it seems a bit of a headache - tenants have to fill out forms and pay tax from their rent direct to HMRC. If anyone here is registered as an...

Reply to Tenant is asking that we issue a section 21 to her ???

by leasee123

All of these price rises you mention can be explained by the temporary distortions that have been caused by COVID. I also am not convinced with your stated price rises for dentists. But even if true, they will come down as supply/demand dynamics return to pre-COVID levels.

Your rent numbers...

Tenant is asking that we issue a section 21 to her ???

by Paul V

This seems a bit strange.
We have a tenant who has asked us - to serve a section 21 on her.
This is a quote from her email.

"Upon reviewing my contact the caseworker informed me that my contract was an AST, and in order for my Landlord to end the tenancy I must be provided...

Reply to AST openrent digital signatures

by Hooper

I can't see that this is any more risky than someone saying that the physical signature is not theirs.

AST openrent digital signatures

by zrux

Hello

Openrent does allow digital signatures, so does several banks, card companies.

My question- for doing the AST through openrent, is this good legally and binding ? Specially when digital certificates are not used for signing the online based openrent ASTs ?

Reply to AST openrent digital signatures

by AndrewDod

It is OK so long as it is not challenged (same as a physical signature you might have forged).

All it does is tie the signer to someone who had access to an E-mail address (pretty weak evidence of who signed). If challenged how do you plan to tie the E-mail address to a specific human?...

Reply to AST openrent digital signatures

by Hooper

I don't actually know as I don't use their RentNow service - it would seem unlikely that they would not provide you with that info. I prefer to do my own data collection for referencing, (digital) contract and guarantees (non-digital, as they need to be witnessed and this does not seem to be possible...
