Hi.

Welsh Water has sent me a bill for around £450.

Tenant said they notified Welsh Water at start of tenancy in one of the COVID lockdowns last year. The tenant is on housing and other benefits and has disabilities and figured that they weren't getting water bills because...

Reply to 3 Month Short Let - Landlord refuses to return deposit months later, blaming dog

by boletus

I doubt it was an AST or that either party ever thought it was one.

I think she breached whatever agreement she had, annoyed the neighbours for 3 months and didn't give a fug....

3 Month Short Let - Landlord refuses to return deposit months later, blaming dog

by Farrella

My cousin rented a residential flat for 3 months (she is from Europe but was studying in London for a year) and paid £1000 deposit. Paid full rent on time and left 2 weeks before the short let ended.

There were apparently a couple of complaints about a friend's dog (who she watches a...

by Farrella

Her school had finished so she was on a tourist visa. It's a short let agreement for 3 months, she said they never gave her a copy (rookie mistake) and after she asked for it last week, they are now telling her she had breached her tenancy by having a dog in the flat and refused to forward her a copy...

Reply to 3 Month Short Let - Landlord refuses to return deposit months later, blaming dog

by boletus

Was it their main residence? Proof of AST or just a Short-Let agreement? Bank statements, DVLA, council tax, utilities etc?

Reply to 3 Month Short Let - Landlord refuses to return deposit months later, blaming dog

by Farrella

So how does one prove that this contract should have been an AST? She had just finished school and decided to stay a few months longer. I don't know if that is classed as a "holiday" but 3 months seems very long for a holiday....but she is from Europe, though she wants to move to London long-term...
