Reply to In view of gov likely to extend eviction ban again

by Slackjawedyokel

Perce I’ve had a scan through that, but I don’t see any real reason to lose hope. Yes, some folks are calling for an end to S21 evictions (as you’d expect, as has been the case for years), but many more are pressurising the Govt to provide some form of financial assistance to tenants in arrears....

In view of gov likely to extend eviction ban again

by rob1648

Happy easter all, our tenant stopped rent in Nov 2019 (way before Covid), after broken promises to pay we used a solicitor to issue sec 21&sec 8 , they advised us to use s21 accelerated , fast forward after eviction bans to Jan 21 finally got possession order granted , totally ignored by tenant...

That won't and can't happen.
Don't worry about that.

The end of section 21 looks inevitable (worked in Scotland) but there will be time to introduce it for existing tenancies.

This is horrible, but there's a plague happening, things aren't normal.

I had some tiny hope but reading the link above I have lost all hope that I will be able to get my property ever back with S21. The ban now have nothing to do with Covid. It's sequestration of the private property which solves the government problem....

Reply to Thank you everyone for help you have given

by llbuilder_1

pleasure to hear, all the best.

The government and all the 'woke' charities need to realise that most landlords are an average citizen on an average wage, not a property mogul that can afford to be robbed.

Finally got our property back. The state of it is incredible as was the smell and flies - they had left rotting food out. I can't believe how dirty the walls and ceilings are although there were loads of candles around which my husband thinks is part of the problem. We're lucky there wasn't a fire...

Reply to Environmental Health - Visit to Property

by llbuilder_1

The tenant is supposed to follow a procedure before contacting the council, you should be contacted ideally in writing with the problem and given sufficient time to address the problem.

If they haven't done this, contact the council team and inform them of the situation. If you are pro-active...

Environmental Health - Visit to Property

by MAPTON

I have an eviction going through. Tenants correctly served etc and have not moved on. The matter has now been escalated to court, S21 and Accelerated Procedures.

The property has always been well maintained and only ever a couple of minor repairs ever needed doing. Those repairs were...

This debate or discussion in the House of Lords is a fairly good indication of where things are headed. It's a bit of a read but looks like not even Shelter are calling...

Reply to Quick question about deposit

by jpkeates

No.

You are being asked for compensation for a loss beyond fair wear and tear which the landlord is obliged to keep to a minimum.
The loss would be the lost use of the carpet, which have lasted 5 years already, and would have had an expected lifetime of maybe 8 years.
