by Hudson01

Totally agree, they will leave it to the last moment and then all start wailing about the coming apocalypse, and how the poor unfortunates are being thrown out during a plague, a plague in which people by then will be going on holiday, going to the pub and generally getting on with life !!! I can pretty...

Lodger or tenant?

by Elephant2021

Hi all,

New to this forum and a landlord. Thanks for the feedback in advance.

About 18 months ago I took on a lodger and lived with him. In early 2020 my mother fell ill so I went to take care of her and stayed in her home. Her health got worse and then the pandemic happened....

Perce I’ve had a scan through that, but I don’t see any real reason to lose hope. Yes, some folks are calling for an end to S21 evictions (as you’d expect, as has been the case for years), but many more are pressurising the Govt to provide some form of financial assistance to tenants in arrears....

That won't and can't happen.
Don't worry about that.

The end of section 21 looks inevitable (worked in Scotland) but there will be time to introduce it for existing tenancies.

This is horrible, but there's a plague happening, things aren't normal.

I had some tiny hope but reading the link above I have lost all hope that I will be able to get my property ever back with S21. The ban now have nothing to do with Covid. It's sequestration of the private property which solves the government problem....

Reply to Thank you everyone for help you have given

by llbuilder_1

pleasure to hear, all the best.

The government and all the 'woke' charities need to realise that most landlords are an average citizen on an average wage, not a property mogul that can afford to be robbed.

by pebblepebble

Finally got our property back. The state of it is incredible as was the smell and flies - they had left rotting food out. I can't believe how dirty the walls and ceilings are although there were loads of candles around which my husband thinks is part of the problem. We're lucky there wasn't a fire...

Reply to Environmental Health - Visit to Property

by llbuilder_1

The tenant is supposed to follow a procedure before contacting the council, you should be contacted ideally in writing with the problem and given sufficient time to address the problem.

If they haven't done this, contact the council team and inform them of the situation. If you are pro-active...
