Reply to Wife doesn't have right to reside

by KTC

There's the question of the civil penalty notices that came in from the Immigration Act 2014, and then there's the question of the criminal offence that came in from the Immigration Act 2016.

For the penalty notice, you're liable if you grants a right to occupy someone who is disqualified...

Wife doesn't have right to reside

by Berlingogirl

My prospective tenant (T) has the right to rent here because he has an appropriate visa and he works in this country. He's been here nearly 4 1/2 years and is going to apply for British citizenship so he seems ok.

However, his wife (W) does not have the right to live here, is applying...

Reply to Wife doesn't have right to reside

by gnvqsos

You are renting to the one tenant, and the wife is a mere guest. You only need to vet a tenant, not their guests.I would report her presence if and when she arrives.

Reply to Why isn't private rent counted towards tenant's credit score?

by royw

I'm not sure how useful they are anyway. It'll pick up someone who doesn't pay off their credit but someone who lives on the never never has a better rating than someone who doesn't use credit - and I would choose the latter as a tenant.

Why isn't private rent counted towards tenant's credit score?

by Berlingogirl

As the title.

If it was then tenants would be more incentivised to keep up to date with their rent.
I would have thought Gen rent et al would have asked for (demanded) this.

Or have I missed something?

Reply to Issuing a Section 8 and Section 21 notice

by ash72

Cite Grounds 8, 10 & 11, as the notice period is shorter only 2 weeks, if you add grounds 1, then you need to give 2 months notice, in which case your better off going for a S21 as will get possession of the property, the S8 is not mandatory and depends on the judge at the time.

I would...
