Reply to Deposit Cap Refund

by jpkeates

I suspect that someone at the agency has cocked up.

The January tenancy didn't require that the deposit be reduced to 5 weeks, that requirement wouldn't kick in until a new tenancy after June 1 2020 relating to the Tenant Fees Act. So the value on the January tenancy agreement was probably...

by nukecad

Besides the false advertising issue, which even if resolved probably isn't going to get you a parking space.

Have you looked into the possibility of getting a 'Residents Parking Permit' from the local council?

If available then that would let you park locally, maybe even on-street,...

How to get tenant to give notice of intention to stay or leave after fixed term ?

by aciduzzo

I understand that legally tenants don't need to tell their landlord that they intend to leave after the fixed term. But i'm trying to figure out how best to get around this (as i really want to avoid the uncertainty). I could :
- put in a clause (arguably not enforceable) requiring the tenant...
