Reply to 2 year fixed contract / yes or no? why?

by jpucng62

If you can reassure them that you are a professional LL, letting for the long term, but that 2 years is a long time and things can change for either party, they may be happy to...

2 year fixed contract / yes or no? why?

by kesm

Hi all,

I have a new tenant and he would like a 2 year fixed contract for my property.
I always had a 1 year with a 6 month break clause so unsure on the positives and negatives of the 2 year fixed. Please could you advise?

Thank you

Reply to Green Homes Grant confusion

by Hudson01

Sadly this is likely to be true, which will simply mean that tenants will stay in their cold and not very well insulated homes whilst home owners get the grant and improve their comfort and utility bills..... hey ho....

As said the LL and his friends need to move in, by the time the notice period is up he may not have a house to go back too..... and yes call the Police on every occasion.

by Cyberhoiney007

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this and want to help a family member who's having trouble with his lodger,

The landlord has had the police called out when the lodger got in the landlords face calling the LL a liar over a phone number or some such and the lodger won't let it go continually...

Reply to Is it worth getting rent protection insurance? (especially during COVID)?

by ash72

You would need to read the t&c's of the insurance provider to verify, I doubt anyone on the forum would be able to categorically provide a yes or no answer.

You would need to read the...
