Reply to Responsible tenant to do weekly fire safety checks in HMO?

by bengal

We do the weekly checks but had an arrangement with a responsible tenant to do them in the past. Wondered whether regulation had changed on this. I was also hoping to find out if an allocated person who does weekly checks and signs the log book other than the landlord has any liability in event of fire...

Responsible tenant to do weekly fire safety checks in HMO?

by bengal

Is it within regulation to allocate a responsible HMO tenant to do weekly smoke alarm and monthly emergency light testing?
Does anyone have this agreement with their tenants? and is there any liability on them in event of fire - this is something they may be concerned about when signing fire log...

by Berlingogirl

If you're not doing it yourself could your cleaner do it? Landlords are responsible for keeping the communal areas clean so the cleaner could do the fire alarm check too....

Electrical Safety Certificate EICR

by Ozzie11

Hi

I noticed a new law means landlords need to arrange an EICR for new tenancies after July 2020 or before April 2021.

Please can I get some advice on this? I started a tenancy in May 2020 - this is due to expire in November 2020. However it is likely the tenancy will be renewed...

Reply to Electrical Safety Certificate EICR

by jpkeates

I would advise that you take this up again with your agent.
Most legislation relating to tenancies does exclude follow on tenancies when making requirements for "new tenancies", but this one doesn't.

While that might be an error in the drafting, it does mean that because...

Reply to Gas safety certificate nightmare

by Redeemed

Thanks for the replies. It appears that if the tenants become wise to their s21 situation it will have to be a section 8 which by the looks of it will require specialist help of some variety. All this for helping a dedperate 'friend'.

Gas safety certificate nightmare

by Redeemed

Hi, asking this for a friend (no, seriously, I am).
Beginning of the year they agreed to rent their property to somone they considered almost family. As a favour they charged no bond, let them have the first 7 weeks rent free and have discounted their rent every month ever since due to their financial...

Reply to Getting cheaper rent

by royw

I hope you're not as abrasive in person as you appear to be on this forum. Nearly 40,000 deaths but that doesn't matter as long as you can get a discount.

Getting cheaper rent

by JoshyT

I rent right now and want to maintain a rolling deal or 6 month tops but with lower rent circa 30% off. What the best way to go about this? I'm not looking for a moral/ethics conversation just from experience of those on either end of that kind of negoation what can work. I am the perfect tenant who...
