by MdeB

Tho solicitor is wrong.

BUT this just shows that legal professionals do not necessarily fully understand the law, AND that can extend to judges too.

The Deregulation Act 2015 does indeed now apply to all ASTs, BUT the requirements for these documents are not in the Act but...

Eviction advice

by Propertygoesup

After face to face meeting with tenant 2 weeks ago, when tenant said she was able to make next rent payment in full plus some on top to pay arrears, tenant has bacs'd 400 into my account which is half one month's rent. No message or anything . This means arrears will increase. I can't see any more...

Reply to Tenants boiler stopped working today,how long is reasonable for andlord to get fixed?

by royw

Why get involved? I give tradesman T's phone number so they can arrange a convenient time between themselves (having told t first so they have the opportunity to object) .
If T is out at work I would offer to let tradesmen in but only as a favour, not because I think I have to....

Reply to Serious situation! Do we settle or go to court?

by nukecad

No - he agreed that it was a good idea, that's all he agreed to.

As for the other point - Lawyers like to make money.

BTW - Conflating two comments from two different posts and trying to make them look like one quote is probably not a good idea.

Serious situation! Do we settle or go to court?

by PEvans

I am joint landlord with my husband dealing with an anti-social tenant who we tried to evict with section 8 in May through Legal For Landlords. He refused to leave so we went forward with a court hearing that took place 3rd Sept. But because his solicitors were not ready, my advocate and I had to adjourn!...

But when you are relying on a specialist tradesman then they have certain availability which we need to work with. If the tenant doesn't want to be put out then they would need to wait longer so the tradesman can come at a more convenient time to the tenant.....

Reply to Tenant wants replacement fridge freezer

by JK0

Come on. It's ridiculous. Would you replace your own appliance just because the ice maker packs up? I certainly wouldn't .

Tell him to jog on.
