It was Corona, and the Estate Agents did not seem to have a problem with that but in retrospect I should have put her on the AST....

Tenant's wife changed locks and refused to hand over key to letting agent

by bombata

Hi,

I have been renting a house to a couple for the past two years. Only the husband is on the tenancy agreement as the sole tenant. His wife just lived with him and does not work.
They decided to divorce- and it's messy they are not speaking to one another. The husband moved out...

Reply to Tenant's wife changed locks and refused to hand over key to letting agent

by bombata

I do still have the keys to the patio doors (which I think she did not change), so I could let myself in through that and bring a locksmith and change the locks. If this is legal I could do this at the end of the tenancy....

Reply to Tenant's wife changed locks and refused to hand over key to letting agent

by bombata

The husband is paying the rent for now. So that is good.

The husband also gave her notice to vacate the property via his solicitor by the end of the tenancy date- several times in writing. My worry is that she refuses to give me a copy of the new key - which can be interpreted as a sign...

Reply to Serving documents via electronic means

Paper isn’t produced from rain forests and is one of the planets more eco friendly products. Like many things, its climate footprint comes from production and transport rather than raw materials - which have been renewable for decades.

Paperks made from soft woods that grow relatively...

Reply to Tenant's wife changed locks and refused to hand over key to letting agent

by jpkeates

The wife can’t be a squatter, and when the tenancy ends, she would be a trespasser.
Im not at all clear how the the tenancy is going to end, but if the tenant gave valid notice, when it expires the wife’s permission to occupy ends.

You have three options if she doesn’t leave....

Reply to Tenant's wife changed locks and refused to hand over key to letting agent

by AndrewDod

That is not really correct IMHO.
a) If it was a joint tenancy with husband and wife, and the fixed period had ended the husband can give unilateral notice and owe nothing
b) If wife was not a named tenant, arguably the husband has not given vacant possession (and the tenant) even if they...

Reply to Am I obliged to....

by ash72

You should fit a handrail at a height between 900mm and 1000mm from the pitch line of the stairs, or the floor for landings. This is approximately 35.4–39 inches. Staircases require at least one handrail: If the stairs are less than 1m wide: provide a handrail on one or both sides.

Are...

Morning.

A tenant living in a property for the last three years has emailed saying there's no handrail on the stairs and they this is is dangerous. They also say there is a large step down to the shed.
