Reply to Regulated Tenancy - Are there any experts on this?

by Neelix

Why didn't your original solicitor not point out the issues with such a purchase?

Regulated Tenancy - Are there any experts on this?

by Mrbreaker

Does anyone know of any experts in this field, every solicitor I have asked - doesn't know too much and are all very vague about the rights, etc.

I am having an issue whereby the council have asked us to do a number of massive repairs (we bought the property last year, our own fault for...

Reply to Using the Small Claims Court after DPS deposit dispute decision

by Section20z

You may be right but I'm not sure it's necessarily true as it's not arbitration but DPS own dispute resolution and is limited to the deposit return and any losses beyond that ought to still be recoverable.
Personally, if the ex tenant was traceable and has funds then I would start MCOL, worst...

Using the Small Claims Court after DPS deposit dispute decision

by Btret

Hi All,

I have recently received the DPS decision on a deposit dispute that I had with the tenant. I am shocked by the low amount that I have been awarded and I am severely out of pocket by the amount I had to spend to get the property back into a good condition.

I wanted to...

Reply to relocation of boiler

by Hudson01

After 10 years of paying rent (if i were the LL) i would do what you ask, i would place it in the loft (done this before), i do not like boilers in bedrooms anyhow for obvious reason, i trust there is the standard carbon monoxide detector next to the appliance..... It is not unreasonable what you're...

Reply to Regulated Tenancy - Are there any experts on this?

by AndrewDod

Bad buy - sorry.
Never buy a property with tenants in situ.
Never buy a regulated tenancy.
You are just going to have to accept that you are going to suffer a massive likely loss.

Reply to Using the Small Claims Court after DPS deposit dispute decision

by KTC

The point is that you are not claiming for a "professional clean" as "required by contract" or whatever. You would be claiming for the cost of putting the property back to its original condition as required by the contract less reasonable wear and tear.

If a tenant say...

Reply to Using the Small Claims Court after DPS deposit dispute decision

by Section20z

Of course you can claim for professional cleaning, just as you would for decorating or repairs , it's whatever cost you are out of pocket. The legally binding bit just means you can't appeal the DPS decision (which you have no choice but agree to when you use their service!).
The tenant has left...

Reply to S21 served expired EPC!

by KTC

This is an example of where you are reading more than what's written on the page.

Page 9 (of the PDF version) does not say "no EPC S21 not valid". It ask whether the tenant "has received an energy peformance certificate for the flat/house" and if no then s21 invalid....
