Reply to Lodger turned sour, can I kick her out sooner?

by ChrisDennison

Understood. Common courtesy is a difficult concept, what is acceptable and reasonable behavior for one person is the opposite for another. Which can quickly escalate if people share a roof. Which is why the concept of a live in landlord is a stupid one IMHO because one side feels like it is (and legally...

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

by tatemono

haven't increased any rents in the last seven years with one exception when a tenant asked if her boyfriend could move in. we agreed an increase and lowered it back down again when they broke up a year later and he moved out.

We have really good relationships with all of our tenants. They...

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

by ChrisDennison

I would like to gauge your experience on this - in all my properties I have never increased rent in an existing tenancy, regardless of how long the tenant stays. Am I stupid or normal or somewhere in between?

I’m of course happy to adjust to market rent whenever a tenant moves out and...

Can I exercise break clause and notice period

by wildflower

According to the tenancy agreement, I, as landlord, may terminate the tenancy by serving a break notice on the tenant. This is an assured shorthold tenancy and the break notice period must be at least two months. Am I correct in thinking that this means that I would seek possession under Section 8 rather...

by tatemono

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

by Beswick

My model is similar to the OP's - I have never increased rent for a tenant.

It doesn't bother me that they end up renting below market rate - if they are a good tenant, you want to keep them. If they research rents after a couple of years, then they will realize how much you are, in effect,...
