Reply to LL feeling sorry for those tenants who work......

by nukecad

Don't you think that these non-working applicants would be applying for flats at LHA if there were any?
LHA isn't exactly generous, and having to find another £100 is going to be a struggle for someone on benefits.

I understand, you just don't want applications from non-workers....

Reply to Landlord didnt tell us that our rented flat has unsafe cladding.

by buzzard1994

The Consumer Protection legislation gives you 90 days to unwind after a service has been delivered, so I believe it would give 90 days to unwind a rental contract. After that time there is still a right to damages, apparently they start at 25% off. So the real question is whether a court would agree...

Landlord didnt tell us that our rented flat has unsafe cladding.

My partner has recently moved into a rented flat in a complex after visiting a show flat last year.

Ted.E.Bear I think there's an issue when the service is a residential lease, because once the tenant has moved in, the right being contracted has fully exercised, which means it can't be unwound.
In this case, if the tenant had entered into the contract and then declined to move in, they could...

You only get a short window to unwind a contract, 90 days is way too long.

OK, if it was a default judgement, which it sounds like, their best option would be to claim they didn't know about the hearing.
But the best that achieves is to re-open the claim, which doesn't achieve much except to increase the tenant's costs.
