by ExpertInAField

It would suggest to me that the extra bathroom and parking are not worth an extra £100 a month. I'm sure a lot of tenants would see it as saving £100 and not be disadvantaged by a whole lot....

Agent games?

by JK0

Here's an odd one: My best flat in Reading fell vacant at end of April, and has now been to let for 2 weeks. My agent suggested £1050, which we got last July, but I said £1000. Yesterday one of agent's flunkies rang and suggested a further reduction due to 'other properties coming on the market'....

This is interesting: This morning, another flat with another agent that only fell vacant a week ago was snapped up for £900. This only has the one bathroom, and no gated parking, but everything else is similar.

Claiming back reduced rent from tennants deposit

by sparky1970

Hi All,

I am sure that this topic has been covered a lot recently but I wanted to ask for specific advice.

I have a private (residential) tennant paying £10,000 per month in rent in North London. The tennant has asked to reduce the cost in our agreement by 25% to £7,500 per...

Check the land registry for names and addresses of the leaseholder. It's £3 each.

Water coming in from flat above - any right to access?

by Telometer

A block of flats, six floors high. On either the top floor or the one below there is a leak in the stack - the soil pipe. This causes flooding in the flats below.

The freeholder (block is owned share of freehold) and managing agent have a plan to replace the stack and contractors engaged....

by DPT57

the management company probably need a court order to gain access to resolve the situaiton. That may be a lengthy process at the moment, but unless the tenants grant access, I can't see any other option.

Reply to Inventory never received

by DPT57

I don't think its a trick. Just incompetence. A landlord has to prove their case with a deposit scheme or court in order to justify deductions from the deposit. If they have no signed inventory or one where the evidence of condition is weak then it will seriously affect their claim. No inventory is...
