Help with Lifelong Tenant problem

by Yellowmead

Several years ago my siblings and I inherited a flat with a lifelong tenant in situ.

Every year the tenant sends us a cheque for £20 (his annual rent) and we send him back a letter of thanks. That is our only contact.

The tenant is now in his late 80's. As far as we know he...

Reply to Advice on landlord wanting to retain all my deposit - looking for landlord viewpoints

by MdeB

I think you are being reasonable.

I would reply to the LL along the lines of:

"Thank you for your email.

As you are aware, I lived in the property for 16 years and therefore wear and tear is expected.

The windows were not new when I moved in,...

Reply to Requested permission to get a cat

by MdeB
It is not the cat owners, but the cats that are the issue.
A responsible owner cannot stop a cat causing damage, other than by getting rid of the cat.

No. It comes down to money.

A cat needs to get outside.
How is that achieved?

Requested permission to get a cat

by JessJ235

Hi all,

Moved into this rental property last July.
Tenancy states no pets without landlords written permission.

A couple of months after I contacted Landlord about getting a kitten, he responded saying he would get back to me and never did.

I'm a good tenant,...

Reply to Leaving a rented house?

by AndrewDod

We don't know that this is a weekly periodic tenancy. It might be -- but the fact that T happens to be paying weekly could simply be because that is what they happen to be doing. The contract might specify otherwise (and the fact that the initial contract was for 12 MONTHS suggests that was the case)....

Leaving a rented house?

by ETJ

I do intend on making contact of course but I want to hear it from someone else in case they try to pull a fast one.

We live in a rented house, we've been there many years.
The rent is paid weekly via a standing order setup by myself.

The contract we signed (about 10...

Reply to Deposit protection claim

by AndrewDod

Not directly relevant to the question but more to Artful's rather worrying message:

Deposit protection claim

by CuriousPerson

Hello, my situation is as follows: I have had an agency as a corporate tenant for several years, but this tenancy ended prematurely as they could no longer afford to pay the rent. The agency seems to be effectively bankrupt now; I have recently learned that they did not protect their tenants deposits....
