Reply to Store goods in non-occupied properties to generate income?

by Flashback1966

Why would someone want to store things in a house rather then one of those storage specialist companies? Unless someone can undercut them significantly. They have 24 hour security, cctv, locks, alarm and appropriate insurance. The notice period is 7 days.

If there is a roof leak in...

Store goods in non-occupied properties to generate income?

by ph0429@gmail.com

I am looking into an opportunity for real estate landlords or property owners to store goods for another business in properties that are not let yet. This way, the landlord can generate income while the property is not occupied yet. Is this possible? Would any landlords be interested to discuss fur...

I'm convinced that my tenant is dead - but how do I prove it?

by tired old chap

I know it sounds like the title of a farcical 'comedy' from the 1960s, but it's not. I have (had?) an elderly lady tenant. I haven't seen her for months. Whenever I go to the house to inspect/carry out a repair she's not there, but her son and his family are! It's like they live there. At first they...

My tenant has passed away and their son isn't leaving the property

by Con

My tenant has passed away and their son isn't leaving the property. Their tenancy runs out at the end of January. I knew the son was staying there as a carer for my tenant. The son's sister told me that the son would not sign the tenancy. The son was looking after the utility bills and had them in...

Reply to My tenant has passed away and their son isn't leaving the property

by jpkeates

Not as far as I know.

Yes, definitely.

If the sister is an executor, yes to the first. But no one else can be made personally liable for the deceased's debts other than the estate. It would take a new tenancy to make someone liable for rent....

Reply to My tenant has passed away and their son isn't leaving the property

by Flashback1966

How was the rent being paid? Was it via housing benefits? Don't the council pay for a period after the claimant has passed away? Or did she have savings / pensions? Did you reference her?

> The tenancy is part of the deceased's estate and will continue until it is ended (it won't...

Reply to Lodger in main residence by planning to stay short term in another residence?

by jpkeates

I don't know.

You'd have to look at actual decisions in cases, and I don't really know where you'd start.
The cases where this would be a factor are usually not reported in detail, and a judge would probably pretty much decide on the spot.
