Gov allowing tenants to buy PRS housing

Berlingogirl

I've just heard on the Andrew Marr show that if somebody gets in (I wasn't listening fully so I don't know who it was, I've no doubt somebody on here can name that person), they will allow tenants to buy their PRS property at a price that means the landlord will not lose out.

Surely this...

With the utter chaos going on at the moment i would rule nothing out, and what happened in the past is exactly that ..... the past and cannot be looked at as an indicator of what may happen in the future, i am keeping a very open mind coupled with a total distrust of ANY govt who comes into power, if...

Transfer of deposit mid-tenancy

M Clavell

My letting agents have issued a termination notice mid-tenancy. I am therefore left to manage the property until the current TA expires and deal with end-of-tenancy obligations, in particular the deposit. My query is this: Can I arrange for the transfer of the deposit from the current letting agents'...

You don't need the tenant's permission, but you do need to serve the Prescribed Information to them again (with the new details).

Collecting your deposit through a third party

claira_notaguy

I have had some tenants taking out a loan to pay for the deposit. I am wondering if that is a red flag? Are there companies doing this already that I can speak to to arrange a loan for prospective tenants? What would you do if you were in my shoes?

The deposit is still protected with the...

Reply to Collecting your deposit through a third party

AndrewDod

The red flag is about the size of the Indian Ocean.

Never take tenants who cannot pay the deposit (if you take deposits). And the person who paid the deposit is also a party to the deposit and has to be served with all sorts of information.

Viable tenants these days need lots...

Looking for a humidity monitor

john lewis

Does anyone know of a way of remotely monitoring humidity in the flat that we rent out? Sometimes we end up with tenants that complain about mould and I'm pretty sure its condensation because they don't ope the windows in winter.

You can purchase remote monitoring, but the challenge would be how to connect it to enable you to receive the signal?? You wouldn't be able to use the tenants internet.

Good advice about the leak checks etc

We've done all that stuff. Now it's just down to the question "Is this new tenant a 'window-opener' or a 'dry lots of clothes/shower,breathe and live in a sealed bubble'.
I was thinking a gadget that sent a report might be useful to flag...

Landlord going back on his word to repay rent

RandomPerson1345

Hi,

The short version of this post is that the landlord said verbally and over email that "Rent calculation we can do till the day you stay in the flat" and after i moved out of the flat early he is ignoring all attempts to contact him. I am planning on taking this to court and...
