Reply to Is it an HMO

by jpkeates

Yes, it's an HMO, but an AST is fine.
It may not need to be licensed, but the regulations are broadly the same anyway.

Is it an HMO

by Enyala

House has been let to 4 tenants on an AST. They are a couple, plus two single friends. Does this mean it should be an HMO and should not have been let on a AST basis? Your feedback would be much appreciated. TIA.

I don't give references and always explain why.

Reference payment

by jase222

Hi,
I have a tenant who's leaving shortly and a letting agent sent through letter asking for a reference for the tenant, in the letter there was also 4 pages of questions about 120 to be precise.

I know it will take best part of a hour as quite a few are detailed and require looking...

Reply to Problematic tenant

by jpkeates

Nothing can change the notice period for a s21 notice (other than a change in the law itself), anti social behaviour as grounds for a section 8 notice brings the notice period required to, essentially, two days if posted.

Problematic tenant

by Sean2204

Hi guys, new to this forum so please be kind to me. It seems a great fountain of knowledge and I was hoping some of you may be able to advise on a current predicament I have with an existing tenant.

The tenancy commenced on 8th January 2021 on a 6 month fixed AST.

Reply to Does Tenant Need 30 days notice?

by nukecad
I'd be asking why they say that they are getting less than LHA rate?

There are a few things that could do that:
- If the actual rent is less than LHA rate, then only the actual rent is paid. (Doesn't seem to apply here).
- It they are subject to the benefits cap in UC it's the Housing Element

Does Tenant Need 30 days notice?

I'm increasing the rent for a tenant on Universal Credit

They have verbally agreed the rent increase (which is above the LHA rate)

I'm sending them a letter to confirm the new amount.

I would like the new start date for payment to be in two weeks (i.e. the new...

by 1600e

I wouldn't fill it in either unless I wanted the tenants gone.
why should the LA pay?
It's obvious the tenant should pay for something that long but the government have unintentionally (?) Dicked tenants over in this case.
