by DoubleFlip

Issued a section 21 back in January, tenant still has not left, can I use section 13 and increase the rent by 25% to force them to leave?...

Reply to Can I use Section 13 rent increase to force a tenant out if they ignore section 21

by DPT57

Thats also my understanding, but most landlords won't be charging 25% below the market price such that that sort of increase would be regarded as fair....

by DPT57

As I've said before, health data is particularly sensitive and counts as a special category of information under GDPR that your privacy notice and most landlords data procedures won't cover. We should not be making such enquiries of our tenants

Good tenant on paper ended being bad Vs bad tenant on paper that is potentially good?
