Tenancy

by Ritchie

Hi I stay in Scotland and have a tenant living in a different city as she is furlough and staying with her boyfriend. Her clothes are still in her room. My son is in desperate need of accommodation.

You don't have any right to take possession without her consent but you could ask her if she wishes in light of her financial situation to surrender the tenancy. If she agrees then ask her to give you written notice which you should also accept in writing. You will have to offer to store her possessions...

NTL issued by tenants and good time to sell?

by Sophie2017

Our tenants, 4 uni students have issued a NTL for end of April to the property managers, l haven't responded, but have accepted.

In the current climate I would accept the half rent, or maybe see if you can negotiate a bit more. I'm not sure you'd be able to sell it for market value until the lock down is over.

If it was a joint AST why has your rent reduced? Think that is the problem you have created. You could possibly offer to negotiate downwards from the full rent as a mini gift....

Landlord won't let us leave

by veronikaj

We signed a lease in Auguat 2019. During the singing, the landlord made us also sign a notice to end that states we want to leave after 12 months. This was fine at the time, however due to coronavirus and us being international students, we have to now leave the country and cannot stay in the flat and...

On average you would have paid a lot more (than you would otherwise have done) for a tenancy that is in effect a one month notice your end (by virtue of the legislation in Scotland). So give notice as above.
