DoricPixie ah thank you for pointing this out.

Can I serve Section 21 Notice?

by Rubz2009

Hi was hoping for some advise.
I have tentants in my property on a AST agreement which started in 2013 and has been rolling to date. Tenants are behind on their rent by a couple of months (during covid times which they believe they still do not need to pay) and also always late on monthly payments...

Reply to Sec 21 & Notice to Quit in same claim

by DoricPixie

From the combined threads it certainly sounds as if you have an AST. I will add the caveat that I am not a lawyer though.

He imposed the rent increase by emailing you which only works if the tenant with an AST agrees to the increase which you clearly have not. Had he issued a Section 13...

Reply to Asking tenants in your rental property to receive your personal mail?

by DoricPixie

I do but as I don’t own a car in the UK the only thing the DVLA has ever posted to me was my driving licence when I renewed it last year. I then had the virtual post box physically post the licence to me parents’ house so I could collect it when I was back for Christmas.

This perhaps...

by Rubz2009

Thanks ash72, that gives some reassurance and understood that I would need to get possession from court for tenants to actually leave (if they don't willingly). I have 2 more final questions if you or anyone can kindly advise on.

1. The tenant's do not and have not understood the difference...
