Reply to COVID-19: Contract questions

by jpkeates

If none of the tenants has moved in, there's a contract, but no tenancy.

If that's the case, the tenants are in breach of contract and the landlord can claim for any loss directly arising from that breach.
As the loss is contractual, it would require the landlord to mitigate their...

COVID-19: Contract questions

by penguinsforhands

Hi all, first time posting here and I would really appreciate some thoughts from landlords and tenants alike. Bit of a long one, I'm sorry!

I was supposed to be moving into a new property with 3 other sharers (all mid 20s) at the end of last month. We have paid a holding deposit and digitally...

Tenants have given notice

by GaugeBoson

At the worst possible time, I recently heard from my agent that my tenant had given notice and is due to move out next week.

The question is: can they move out during lockdown and, if they can, what government help is available to me as the landlord as it is unlikely I will get a new tenant...

Reply to Agent forcing removal of possessions during COVID19 restrictions

by buzzard1994

Assuming the deposit is in a protection scheme this is unlikely to get to court - and if it isnt in a protection scheme the landlord would be a fool to pursue it.

How long will you be in isolation for? Your best bet is to go back to the landlord, not the agent, explain the position and...

Reply to Tenant on Universal Credit asking for Rent Refund

by jpkeates

If you can afford to help someone who needs money badly enough to ask her landlord to help, it's a decent thing to do.
If you can't afford it, it's a no brainer.

Tenant on Universal Credit asking for Rent Refund

by WebLand

Hi all

I have a tenant on Universal Credit (a single mother with a 1 year old child). She's currently £100 in arrears. She paid the last month's rent in full, but soon after asked to clawback £100 to cover extra costs due to the coronavirus emergency, including extra food, a loan, electricity...

Reply to Agent forcing removal of possessions during COVID19 restrictions

by jpkeates

It's nothing to do with whether the advice suits or being a landlord.

It's poor advice based on a prediction about what courts might do in some imagined future and doesn't really help the tenant who is asking for advice....
