I don't give references and always explain why.
I've always wondered if my agents do and don't tell me about it!...

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 Problematic tenant

by jpkeates

Nothing can change the notice period for a s21 notice (other than a change in the law itself), anti social behaviour as grounds for a section 8 notice brings the notice period required to, essentially, two days if posted.

Problematic tenant

by Sean2204

Hi guys, new to this forum so please be kind to me. It seems a great fountain of knowledge and I was hoping some of you may be able to advise on a current predicament I have with an existing tenant.

The tenancy commenced on 8th January 2021 on a 6 month fixed AST.

The tenant...

Reply to Does Tenant Need 30 days notice?

by nukecad
I'd be asking why they say that they are getting less than LHA rate?

There are a few things that could do that:
- If the actual rent is less than LHA rate, then only the actual rent is paid. (Doesn't seem to apply here).
- It they are subject to the benefits cap in UC it's the Housing Element

by Mr. Sparkle

I'm increasing the rent for a tenant on Universal Credit

They have verbally agreed the rent increase (which is above the LHA rate)

I'm sending them a letter to confirm the new amount.

I would like the new start date for payment to be in two weeks (i.e. the new...

I wouldn't fill it in either unless I wanted the tenants gone.
why should the LA pay?
It's obvious the tenant should pay for something that long but the government have unintentionally (?) Dicked tenants over in this case.

Reply to Tenants refuse to reply to messages/email and wont sign inventory document

by landlord-man

I have a statement on my Inventories which allows the Tenant 7 days following move-in to highlight (in writing) any errors and/or discrepancies within the Inventory provided to them.

If there are any, I visit with them and agree (or not) to update the Inventory - both parties then sign...

Reply to Is it an HMO

by theartfullodger

It's a HMO. AST is fine but may miss opportunity to list certain responsibilities of tenants. May need licence - check with council.

Check with council what regulations you need to comply with.
