Reply to Gas and electricity certificate

by Kim78

Thanks. I am bit worried about the stove situation, and the fact he never bothered with having the gas checked it in the year and half. Should I keep some of the rent until he comes with one?

I renewed the contract in juni 2020. Not sure if he would still not need one in that situation?...

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...

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.

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...

or give them a discount for having to deal with a poorly organised, non-resident landlord.

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...

End of tenancy cleaning in shared house

by shoobydoo

2nd attempt posting this - first is sitting in unapproved queue... not sure why.

Hello. My current tenants are leaving.
The house was originally let furnished to 4 sharers 7 years ago on a joint contract. The house was professionally cleaned before move in and inventory was done....

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