Landlord refusing to return overpaid rent

by TenantOnTheEdge

I have been a tenant for 8.5 years. Private rent £1600, no benefits, never missed a payment. Each year in May I signed a new tenancy for 12 months. This year in...

Reply to Landlord refusing to return overpaid rent

by TenantOnTheEdge

The numerous nasty messages were him telling me I have to redecorate the entire house - which I did at my own cost, even though the original agreement was that I would only have to make good the 2 bedrooms I had previously decorated (with permission).

That's the legal position and you should write him a Letter Before Action to this effect and tell him...

Reply to Cant prove tenants partner has moved in

by DPT57

Benefits aside, what she is doing sounds perfectly sensible by not saddling herself with a co-tenant who is financially entangled and who she can't get easily get rid of if they decide to part. Many couples retain two properties even after being together for a long period, to keep their independence....

It would also have to be signed and executed as a deed. I'm not sure invalid agreements should be accepted by a court - the whole point of a deed is that contracts without consideration need extra special security (against fraud, falsification, and so on)....
