Reply to Windows and front door smashed

by Hudson01

I agree with above, once you have told them they will up the costs even if they don't pay you out any money, may as well get them to pay. It may be as said, i have seen a few of these '' accidents '' by the local criminal gangs, they are not known for their IQ's remember, so not being able to read a...

Windows and front door smashed

by Yorkie2020

Tenant messaged this morning to say her living room window and front door were smashed in last night plus some other damage. She called the police who arranged for someone to secure the broken window and door.
In all the years of being a landlord, I've never had to make an insurance claim before,...

Reply to Ongoing issues with leak from above

by Hudson01

Are the management company paying for all the damage via the blocks buildings insurance or is this down to you ? Given how long it has gone on i think you will need to take individual legal action against the landlord of the flat above, what else is there is they have no incentive to fix anything. ...

Ongoing issues with leak from above

by Ldawg

Over the last FOUR years (!) we have had ongoing leak issues from the flat above, we've probably had 5 leaks during this time. In February they got a leak detection company out who found no active leak but that the floor was saturated. They recommended leaving it to dry out. Over the past few months...

Reply to Windows and front door smashed

by Section20z

Never worth putting in a claim at that level. They will recoup any payout within 3 years with higher premiums.
But as you've already notified the insurers they'll probably hike your premiums anyway so may as well proceed...

NL1 Notice to Quit on Death of Tenant / Public Trustee

by GDLandlord

Does anyone have experience using the NL(1) form for the Public Trustee which accompanies a Notice to Quit on the Death of a Tenant please? This is used when a tenant dies interstate and has no personal representatives, or a will and no executors.

The form can be purchased via two agents...

Reply to NL1 Notice to Quit on Death of Tenant / Public Trustee

by GDLandlord

Thanks for your advice.
Do you know if it's sufficient to just put the name and address of one landlord on the Notice to Quit that is sent to the property, even if there are joint landlords? Can't seem to get clarity on that, so for safety we were intending to list all names and addresses. But...

Reply to evicting a DSS lodger, do I need a court order to do so?

by Dreamingofsea

She s a lodger and you don t need a court order. I was in a similar position, there was a lock on the bedroom and the solicitor said give her reasonable notice. This was from one of the top housing law firms in uk. Locks on doors are red herrings in this situation.

evicting a DSS lodger, do I need a court order to do so?

by Amazin

she's been living with me for the past 2 years (we share the living space etc) but she keeps bring strangers back and stay here overnight on a regular basis. Having her living here is like having a couple. Before she moved in, she signed agreement that she need to ask my permission for having guests...
