How to reduce rent SAT

12-05-2016, 10:14 AM

I'm thinking of selling my property and would like to offer my tenants a rent reduction for their inconvenience. How do I go about doing this? Is there a variation form I can fill in? I am struggling to find anything. I can find the form to increase rent but nothing to decrease.

Nothing to stop you giving them a new SaT at a lower rate...

I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

You can just put it in writing or create a new tenancy at the lower rate.

Daughter had an offer from a Scottish uni. Due to the estimated grades situation she did not meet conditions and cannot go (but has a place at her insurance uni thank goodness!) . We were told we had to reserve her residence (which is privately run) and pay 135 pounds deposit which we did. We did not...

Thank you baldelectrician - as I understand it they have to be registered in Scotland so I will possibly do that once I have tried again to get them to refund the money...I would like to give them one more chance to do so!

Call the council where they are registered.
Are they members of a governing body- call them and ask for the complaints procedure.

Does anyone know if they can avoid the law by calling it a "reservation fee"? That does not seem fair... Interestingly I have found this email from them from earlier this year: "To reserve a room, we ask for paperwork to be singed, returned and a payment of £135. The payment of £135...
