Reply to Repairs done on the managed property

by jpkeates

If the rent from the agent is being sent outside the UK, there are special tax rules to follow.
If the rent is being paid into a UK bank while you're not living here temporarily, that might still be OK.

by bob369

Hi,

A Lodger (Excluded Occupier) needs to be excluded as his Notice Period has expired (one calendar month), and he refuses to leave

Reply to Deposit Query - Sliding Wardrobe Door

by jpkeates

Unfortunately for the landlord, while all of that may be true, his personal preference for a matching set of doors isn't relevant to the claim they can reasonably make.

The loss is associated with the original door, and the company ceasing to make them has no effect on that loss.
