Reply to Does Tenant Need 30 days notice?

by nukecad
I'd be asking why they say that they are getting less than LHA rate?

There are a few things that could do that:
- If the actual rent is less than LHA rate, then only the actual rent is paid. (Doesn't seem to apply here).
- It they are subject to the benefits cap in UC it's the Housing Element

Does Tenant Need 30 days notice?

by Mr. Sparkle

I'm increasing the rent for a tenant on Universal Credit

They have verbally agreed the rent increase (which is above the LHA rate)

I'm sending them a letter to confirm the new amount.

I would like the new start date for payment to be in two weeks (i.e. the new...

Reply to Reference payment

by 1600e

I wouldn't fill it in either unless I wanted the tenants gone.
why should the LA pay?
It's obvious the tenant should pay for something that long but the government have unintentionally (?) Dicked tenants over in this case.

Reference payment

by jase222

Hi,
I have a tenant who's leaving shortly and a letting agent sent through letter asking for a reference for the tenant, in the letter there was also 4 pages of questions about 120 to be precise.

I know it will take best part of a hour as quite a few are detailed and require looking...

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

by landlord-man

I have a statement on my Inventories which allows the Tenant 7 days following move-in to highlight (in writing) any errors and/or discrepancies within the Inventory provided to them.

If there are any, I visit with them and agree (or not) to update the Inventory - both parties then sign...

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 Is it an HMO

by theartfullodger

It's a HMO. AST is fine but may miss opportunity to list certain responsibilities of tenants. May need licence - check with council.

Check with council what regulations you need to comply with.

Is it an HMO

by Enyala

House has been let to 4 tenants on an AST. They are a couple, plus two single friends. Does this mean it should be an HMO and should not have been let on a AST basis? Your feedback would be much appreciated. TIA.

Reply to Does a Greenhouse make a Property for Rent more attractive for future tenants.

by Berlingogirl

I think it probably would - every tenant's a gardener until it comes round to actually gardening! On a serious note, the glass might be regarded as a hazard for children if it's not safety glass and the electrics are just another thing to be checked for the electrical certs.

You could...

Does a Greenhouse make a Property for Rent more attractive for future tenants.

by Piffy

I have a property which has a really nice Greenhouse in the Garden.
It is of a reasonable size and in good condition. Electricity and Water
Although not a gardener I wonder if when the house comes up for rent it would attract more potential renters.
And of course it is extra storage,...
