Reply to getting evicted - but no paperwork

by DPT57

What sort of disrepair is it? You don't have an automatic right to withold rent for disrepair. If the landlord can show no evidence that he served you notice then the claim should fail. If you reported disrepair that would qualify as a cat 1 or 2 hazard under HHSRS in writing prior to the notice then...

getting evicted - but no paperwork

by beryl

I have today been told that I am getting evicted and that there is a hearing next week.
But I haven't received any Court papers, no notice to quit, no section 8, or section 21.
I don't even know how this is possible as I thought there was a ban on eviction hearings.
I owe rent yes,...

My tenant lied to me

by Uklondoner

My tenant lied to me saying he missed the first universal credit payment. But actually according to one of my friend the payment normally only take two weeks to come directly to the bank account. What can I do? Can I find a way to let the universal credit directly make overdue rent payment? I really...

Reply to Electrical Safety Certificate EICR

by DPT57

The presence of a plastic consumer unit cover would normally be a c3 hazard, but I understand it could be higher if there are other related risks, such as where there is older wiring or poor bonding. In the end I beleive we will either have to become electrical experts ourselves or find trustworthy...

Electrical Safety Certificate EICR

by Ozzie11

Hi

I noticed a new law means landlords need to arrange an EICR for new tenancies after July 2020 or before April 2021.

Please can I get some advice on this? I started a tenancy in May 2020 - this is due to expire in November 2020. However it is likely the tenancy will be renewed...

Reply to Can I Stay in the Property to Make Repairs?

by jpkeates

The guidance says that preparing a property for rent or sale is work that is allowed to be done in this phase of the lockdown.
And staying in another property for work is allowed.

So travelling somewhere to work and staying there overnight is fine.

Can I Stay in the Property to Make Repairs?

by DJVera

Hi all - I'm new to this so apologies if this (or similar) has been dealt with somewhere else!
I own a property in the south west but currently live in London. I've been renting the property out privately. My last tenant moved out in January 2020 and I was planning to get quite a bit of (much needed)

Yes, I agree about the acting reasonably and interestingly the legislation seems to allow for this too through the use of the word "include"

For the purposes of paragraph (1), the circumstances in which a person (“P”) has a reasonable excuse include cases where....
