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...

by YEccardHello everyone
I have a question regarding the deposit protection in the UK since I am an exchange student from Germany.

Or you have a very large portfolio of your...-

Reply to Security Depositby SandiIf I lodged deposits weekly rather than every twenty five days I would have to spend four times as long lodging deposits.
40 working days would have been a far more sensible time frame and allow larger landlords and agents to lodge a months batch at a time.

Reply to Security Depositby nukecadI believe we have been through all of this before in previous threads.

Reply to Security Depositby SandiTwo points:
I think people who have to lodge a lot of deposits will recognise that the current system has not taken them into account. My understanding is that the Council of Letting Agents are currently advising agents to lodge deposits every 25 days. This is not working days this is actual...-

Reply to Security Depositby nukecadWould you like to try that excuse if you were summoned for driving 36 mph in a 30 mph zone and see how far it would get you?
A legal limit is a legal limit, if you exceed that limit then you have broken the law and must accept the consequences if caught....-

I want to evict on the grounds that we will be living there.

Does this pose a problem given that the LL...-
