Reply to Children allowed in a HMO /Is it Discrimination ?

by KTC

OP, I have personal issue with you not willing to let to people with children. If one of your tenant get pregnant, are you going to evict them as soon as they're no longer protected as new parents?

Having said that, family with children is not a protected characteristic. And while age is,...

Reply to Children allowed in a HMO /Is it Discrimination ?

by bob369

It would be difficult IMO to successfully evict a tenant based upon breach of contract if the AST stated they could not have children in the property - I suspect that such a term may be an unfair one.

As an HMO, presuming it has a licence - would allow for a particular number of persons,...

Reply to Rent Guarantee Insurance

by Beswick

Contact an insurance broker and get their opinion. They should be quite knowledgeable, plus you've got the backup of their professional indemnity insurance and the Ombudsman if they sell you a policy that doesn't suit your needs.

Reply to New Tenancy Info Gathering Form

by DPT57

Prior to viewings I only ask a few questions over the phone to filter out those to whom I wouldn't rent. I do this because I haven't given them my privacy statement at that point. Once a tenant has been selected I give them the notice, get them to complete the application form and start referencing....

Can LL seek compensation for unpaid rent if tenancy was ended over text message?

by youngnotgullible

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post. Desperate for any input on the situation I'm in.

I ended my tenancy early. On the 1st of April I sent my landlord a text message stating that I'd 'transfer [April's] rent' to him, and that it would be my last month spent in the room. I initially...
