Reply to Unauthorized door replacement

by jpkeates

The phone is simple, people carry them everywhere all the time.
And, in an emergency, it would be handy.

I'm not sure how a door lock can "come off", but I'd probably decline to pay for the door that wasn't fitted as it should have been.
I can understand why the tenant...

Unauthorized door replacement

by bms9nmh

Hello,
I heard through the agency that manages my property that the tenant had become locked in the bathroom at around 05:30 in the morning and called the fire service, who proceeded to knock down the front door to the flat, and let him out of the bathroom. The tenant did not call the agencies...

Reply to Curtain Rails

by jpkeates

I'd suggest to the agent that you'll pay someone to do the work (someone like hilariy's blinds so the landlord can have a guarantee) and deduct the cost from the rent.
The landlord can't simply decide not to do something they've agreed to do, and the agent should be telling them that, particularly...

Curtain Rails

by Myb91

Hi All,

Hope your all well!

I have recently started to rent a place, before moving in/signing of papers the Estate Agent showed it to us virtually (2nd September) because it was not ready yet for potential tenants to view (the Building was not complete), We instantly liked...

Apparently the lock on the inside came off in his hand. I have no idea why he would have the phone with him in the bathroom at this hour. It's very strange....

Reply to Unauthorized door replacement

by bms9nmh

My flat has cladding issues so I cannot sell it as I would like. I no longer live in the city, so my only choice, other than leaving it empty, is to rent it out until the cladding issues are resolved. The housing association have given me permission to let on this basis....

Are we sure we're not doing someone's essay here?

Someone's letting a property that has shared ownership with a housing association?
How was that allowed to happen?

Reply to Daughter

by jpkeates

I'm sorry, but that's not how it works.
You've asked for free advice on a public forum and people are free to respond unless it breaks the rules of the site.

If you want input that won't be unneccessary, unhelpful or rude, you probably need to pay for it.

For the record,...

Daughter

by Wandapast

I let my house to my daughter at a quarter of market rent. After she had children I let her I've there for nothing. However she has now moved in a boyfriend (David) who has just come out of prison. She smokes cannabis in the property. She has done a lot of damage which she passed off as repairs...

Reply to Can I use an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement for a 2 month rental?

by jpkeates

Because the law says it's different.
And it's the law that says something's an AST or not.

When someone is on holiday, they're obviously resident, but they're not living there.
It's obviously possible to live somewhere for a short period, but not if you obviously actually live...
