Landlord Associations

Phyllis

I have been a landlord for 13 years and have 8 properties in my portfolio. I have decided that it is time to take out membership of a landlord’s association. My properties are all in Wales and I have a mix of tenants. Does anyone have experience of any association and could suggest issues I should...

I have a friend who has rented a property on an assured shorthold tenancy for 3 years now. The tenancy has long expired and so has automatically converted into a periodic tenancy.

Recently following an inspection the boiler in the property was condemned and switched off as a result. She...

She should not pay any increased rent, that would be an acceptance of the increase.

She should pay her usual rent and inform the LL that she needs to issue a section 13 notice to increase the rent, and then challenge that notice.
See the advice here on challenging the notice:

Especially as we have established that this is non an excluded tenancy, changing the locks whilst the tenant is out is a criminal offence.

Unfortunately, I think criminal landlords do target foreigners.

Thank you for your advice. Shelter has advised me that raising the rent will be seen as passing the repair costs onto the tenant as the landlord basically emailed saying fine I’ll repair the boiler but I’m increasing the rent now. They have said this is illegal and the tenant can refuse, they haven’t...

who is responsible for the broken fridge/freezer

cg18

I moved in a flat last Tuesday. I found the fridge is not cool enough but the freezer works well. However, on Saturday the fridge/freezer didn't work. Foods in freezer began to thaw. The shelf in freezer is much warmer than the other part.

I contacted with the agency and they said I should...

If the landlord provided it and it's broken so soon after moving in they should fix it. You should have been given the landlord's address - write to them. Sometimes an agent is more of a pain than the landlord.

Rental deposit

Looking for advice , I signed a 12 month rental with my boyfriend , we each paid 900 pounds deposit to the deposit company . He moved out 6 months later to live with another woman, but continued to pay half the rent until the lease finished. I have messages from him saying he did not want his deposit...

Legally you may have the right to rely on his text. Morally him leaving you does not entitle you to keep his money, especially when he continued to pay his share of the rent and did not create a problem for you then.

Can you not come to an agreement to pay at least some of it back? Do...
