Reply to Peeling paint. Who is responsible?

by Kilburn

Yeah, we have been. We're windows always open sort of people!

The wet patches are in the check in pictures quite clearly, so it's not something caused by us.

A patch of wet has spread in the kitchen which we did report - an engineer was promised who never came!

I was discussing this with a friend earlier, and am in complete agreement with you on this.
Make sure everything is very well documented around the debt, and any communication, and plan on S8.

We have a feeling that S21 is going to either be gone or a long time coming back.

Closure Order? Am I missing something?

by mikestew89

There has been a spate of “Closure Orders” in a nearby town in which the police have shut down problem premises.

I really don’t see how this solves anything from a crime perspective. Surely the problem just moves with the tenants? Some tenants are problems regardless of where they...

Reply to Mould/witholding rent/C19 eviction rights

by Jon66

In order to protect your investment and the condition of your property it might be prudent to fit a better extractor fan in the bathroom.
