Reply to Unauthorized door replacement

by bms9nmh

They arranged the door replacement after they had got out of the bathroom, and it wasn't replaced until later in the afternoon that day. They have the agents phone number, and internet access on their phone....

Unauthorized door replacement

by bms9nmh

Hello,
I heard through the agency that manages my property that the tenant had become locked in the bathroom at around 05:30 in the morning and called the fire service, who proceeded to knock down the front door to the flat, and let him out of the bathroom. The tenant did not call the agencies...

Reply to Money Claim Telephone Hearing

by rapid111111

Checked on the PCOL and it looks like the defendants are being responsive and sending in statements. So I guess they'll be attending the hearing. If that's the case, is it possible to ask the courts for an address from the defendants?

Money Claim Telephone Hearing

by rapid111111

S21 was issued, tenants left, has 9 months rent arrears amounting to over 10k+. The hearing review (which I wasn't called for or required to attend) progressed onto a money claim telephone hearing which is coming up as there was no longer a need for a possession claim. So I guess that means everything...

by landlord-man

Only one question for you.

When the tenant is locked in the bathroom due to a broken catch on the door in your property, how does the tenant phone you or the agent to ask if they can replace the front door not yet damaged?

We all know 999 or 101 but the LAs 24/7 helpline number?...

by Section20z

Would the fire brigade really break a door down on the strength of a phone call with no imminent danger to life ? Surely such a policy would be open to abuse from malicious ex-wifes or tenants.
Wouldn't they just say "ring your landlord"?

by jpkeates

The phone is simple, people carry them everywhere all the time.
And, in an emergency, it would be handy.

I'm not sure how a door lock can "come off", but I'd probably decline to pay for the door that wasn't fitted as it should have been.
I can understand why the tenant...

Reply to Curtain Rails

by jpkeates

I'd suggest to the agent that you'll pay someone to do the work (someone like hilariy's blinds so the landlord can have a guarantee) and deduct the cost from the rent.
The landlord can't simply decide not to do something they've agreed to do, and the agent should be telling them that, particularly...

Curtain Rails

by Myb91

Hi All,

Hope your all well!

I have recently started to rent a place, before moving in/signing of papers the Estate Agent showed it to us virtually (2nd September) because it was not ready yet for potential tenants to view (the Building was not complete), We instantly liked...
