Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

by ash5050

Agree with the above really.
If the issue for the tenant is working hours then find someone who will do the work evening or weekend.
If the issue is covid concerns then leave it unless it is a proper safety issue....

Maintenance access home working tenants

by Morleyman

Wondered if anyone can clarify where I stand needing to have electrical maintenance carried out on a rental property where tenants work from home due to COVID. The electrician I am using only works weekdays but my tenants have said this work cannot take place during the week as they can’t have the...

Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

by cymro123

If it is not an emergency, urgent or a safety issue I would not attempt to enter a tenant's home until the COVID restrictions are suitably eased to allow people from one household to enter another household (step 3?). Aside from the risk of infection between occupiers and employee/contractor is it right...

Reference payment

by jase222

Hi,
I have a tenant who's leaving shortly and a letting agent sent through letter asking for a reference for the tenant, in the letter there was also 4 pages of questions about 120 to be precise.

I know it will take best part of a hour as quite a few are detailed and require looking...

Reply to Legal question

by mind the gap

Oh, I agree the police would be the route to go down assuming the coercive behaviour could be proven. Their concern at this stage is to try to stop it happening in the first place by sending clear signals to the daughter that there is no point even trying to get any more money from their father as ways...

Legal question

Hi all, hope you're keeping safe.

Not sure which forum to put this in - happy for Moderator to move if appropriate.

Scenario is as follows. In 2018, elderly widower changes the will he made jointly with wife in 1980s. He does it all properly, using a solicitor and include...

Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

I would find another spark ..... I occasionally work on Saturdays for key customers, then take a day off during the week

being self employed sometimes means being flexible

Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

by boletus

Would a reasonable tenant in good health do the little job of allowing access during normal working hours for a non essential EICR during a covid lockdown?

Maybe.

Personally, I'm not asking my tenants or electrician to risk it, even though I'm sure they would if I asked....

Reply to New tenant credit check

by theartfullodger

Suggest landlord check service which will include reference and credit check. I've seen them as cheap as £5 with SaL from Vouch (this is not a recommendation or a criticism, see forum rules). Or many, many, other such services.

Bank statements can be very revealing. Read carefully, especially...
