Reply to Money Claim Telephone Hearing

by OS7

Thanks so much. The defendants are already throwing in a lot of rubbish at me now, I can’t wait to see what they will say in front of the judge. I will probably keep my mouth shut and ignore whatever they are spinning.

when you explained the case, did the Judge ask for any clarifications....

Money Claim Telephone Hearing

by rapid111111

S21 was issued, tenants left, has 9 months rent arrears amounting to over 10k+. The hearing review (which I wasn't called for or required to attend) progressed onto a money claim telephone hearing which is coming up as there was no longer a need for a possession claim. So I guess that means everything...

Reply to Rent Increase

by Ted.E.Bear

Things have been very volatile lately, I suspect partly due to the uncertainty amongst students over the summer having a knock-on effect.
Rents were much lower a couple of months ago, then shot up near the start of term, they may not stay as high.

You may get £800, for 3 months,...

Rent Increase

by TREK

I am a landlord and have been letting a property out to tenants for £600 PCM for 4 years with no rent increases, i have not had my eye on the ball for 18 months and have just found out that very similar properties in the area are going for £800 PCM. What is the maximum i could raise the rent at the...

Reply to Rent Increase

by landlord-man

But you'd still be doing yourself out of £1,800 per year.

You're going to waste another 3 years after that getting to todays market rent of £800 - which by then will probably be £900+

You're missing out on a few nice holidays or the cost in redecorating, recarpeting your...

Reply to TDS requiring court order

by landlord-man

If they vacated in March, isnt mid October a little late to be asking for help.

I take it you have new tenants now.

YOU made the mistake (which we all do) but you should just accept it, learn from it and move on.

By all means offer them 50% of their deposit...

TDS requiring court order

by memkad

Hello all,

As an amateur landlord, I have made quite a big mistake.

I’ve let a house to a limited company and used an AST template from the Law Society, not realising that the document is not valid for use with companies.

All was well until March this year when...

Reply to Rent Increase

by jpucng62

I would suggest you might get away with £50 pcm increase with an explanation that a rent has not gone up for 4 years so there needs to be a significant rent rise. Then £25 cpm each year until you have caught up bit. Seems unfair to evict tenants for you taking you eye off the ball!

Landlords are actually getting £800 as there is a massive demand in the area as very few properties available for rent, the market has gone crazy, £1200 for a 3 bed semi in Liverpool....
