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.

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

And, of course, building regulation breaches tend to have health and safety implications. For windows these are likely to be fire escape, ventilation, insulation, and injury from broken glass (or falling out of higher floors).

It is the standard solution to the problem in England. It can't stop the council requiring work to be undone.

Normally it is the buyer's solicitor that raises such issues, as a way to justify their fee and try to reduce the sale price, so you should really ask your solicitor.

I don't think I've ever asked for council consent to do that. I wouldn't worry about it.

Tenant still on SAT, do I use Sheriff Court or Tribunal to evict?

daintiedebs

I have a tenant who has been on an SAT rolling over on tacit relocation for six years. No rent increase over that time, no new tenancy agreement entered into and so he had not changed over to the new prescribed agreement. He was receiving LHA and because he is a vulnerable adult his LHA was being...
