Reply to Gas and electricity certificate

by jpkeates

You can report the lack of a gas safety certificate here https://extranet.hse.gov.uk/lfserver/external/lgsr1

The landlord doesn't need an electrical safety certificate until 1st April for your property unless your tenancy began after 1 July 2020.

Gas and electricity certificate

by Kim78

Good afternoon,

Just a quick question.

I have been renting a flat for over a year and a half now. I never seen a gas or electricity certificate. Whenever I ask the landlord he says it is fine or he ignores it.

Recently a burner from the stove stopped working...

Reply to Damage on stainless steel surface

by amy131

I was just curious as to what may have caused this on the surface as I haven't noticed this before with anything I use, and the only cleaning items I could see this resident uses were the wipes I mentioned, which I wouldn't expect to be corrosive. I think this is perhaps the wrong forum for such a query....

Damage on stainless steel surface

by amy131

My new lodger used something on the stainless steel splashback which caused it to be covered in orange spots about 1 cm across and 1 cm apart. Discovered this spotty mess on the splashback this morning. I needed to use cream cleaner to remove the discolouration, dull spots were then left. I then used...

Tenants refuse to reply to messages/email and wont sign inventory document

by Idlekind

My tenants moved in in November 2020 amid the corona period. They were moving back from Singapore to the UK in a window in the restrictions. I travelled back to sort the flat ( i live in Spain), but had to leave sooner than planned due to corona restrictions closing flights abroad. I tried to find an...

Reply to End of tenancy cleaning in shared house

by shoobydoo

That I may have had "plenty of income over this time" is irrelevent. If I had rented to completely new tenants every year I would have had pretty much the same income, AND 6 deep cleans, done by each departing tenant. So it is not unreasonable to expect a deep clean at the end of a longer...

by boletus

After the 6 month's fixed term tenancy ends, increase the rent to reflect the extra work of dealing with difficult tenants.

Reply to Tenants refuse to reply to messages/email and wont sign inventory document

by Lawcruncher

Whilst the circumstances explain how you arrived where you are, unfortunately you cannot get away from the fact that you did not follow the correct procedure. The terms of the inventory are as much part of the contract as anything else and really ought to be agreed before the tenancy agreement is signed....
