Landlord refusing to return overpaid rent

by TenantOnTheEdge

Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice as to where I stand legally. Morally is irrelevant as the landlord has no morals.

I have been a tenant for 8.5 years. Private rent £1600, no benefits, never missed a payment. Each year in May I signed a new tenancy for 12 months. This year in...

Reply to Landlord refusing to return overpaid rent

by DPT57

If the landlord agreed in writing that the tenancy would end on a specific date and he has a new tenant in place, then he must return the overpaid rent and he has no right to make deductions from it. That's the legal position and you should write him a Letter Before Action to this effect and tell him...

Reply to Cant prove tenants partner has moved in

by DPT57

Benefits aside, what she is doing sounds perfectly sensible by not saddling herself with a co-tenant who is financially entangled and who she can't get easily get rid of if they decide to part. Many couples retain two properties even after being together for a long period, to keep their independence....

Reply to Landlord refusing to return overpaid rent

by AndrewDod

It would also have to be signed and executed as a deed. I'm not sure invalid agreements should be accepted by a court - the whole point of a deed is that contracts without consideration need extra special security (against fraud, falsification, and so on)....

Reply to Alternative ways to enforce a Peaceable Eviction

by DPT57

My understanding is that if your AST tenant has taken lodgers and is sharing living space with them, then the lodgers may still have a basic tenancy if they have exclusive access to their bedroom. If it can be shown that they do not, then they may be licensees, but your tenant would risk losing that...

Alternative ways to enforce a Peaceable Eviction

by bob369

Hi,

A Lodger (Excluded Occupier) needs to be excluded as his Notice Period has expired (one calendar month), and he refuses to leave

I understand Police will not get involved to remove him, even though he is tresspassing, understand they view this as Civil not criminal....
