Pet smells and deposits and no check-in report

You should definitely have cleaned up your pet's deposits, surely?

Creeper from flat below

There's not a lot worse than a creepy neighbour.

I have found over 50+ silverfish within my premises, which have put a strain on my mental health

Crikey. I must be completely bonkers then. My house has had them since I've lived here.

They took 6months managing fees starking in may.

Bare ***ed cheek.

Crikey. I must be completely bonkers then.

Saying nothing...

I can't imagine why fellow landlords indulge the people posting threads like this. Mischief?

[JK0]

somebody said that my agent could be lying to me that certainly isn't the case

Because agents never lie. (sarc)

Here is a brief definition of what constitutes a household under the Housing Act 2004

Under the Housing Act 2004, a household comprises:

• a single person
• co-habiting couples (whether or not of the opposite sex)
• a family (including foster children and children being cared for) and current domestic employees.

From discussions with one particular council it is quite clear that they take a different view but once challenged admit that they might indeed be mistaken and encourage landlords to make contact in order that the matter can be fully appraised.

Oh, well there's the answer...

You can have as many lodgers as you like, as long as you say you are 'fostering' them.

If anyone points out they look a bit old to be foster children, simply say they are child migrants.

LHA - How to get tenants
22-08-2018, 11:13 AM
Hi, I've never rented to LHA tenants before, so where do I begin? Where do I start?

Place an advert stating in bold;

"Strictly No LHA, No DSS, No DHSS, No DWP, No HB, No UC, No benefits, Working tenants only".

Put down your personal contact details.

You'll get dozens of enquiries asking if you take on LHA.

Rent is often not pain on the due date

Certain tenants think that paying any rent at all is a pain.

I'd fear for my partner's safety and my possessions if any member of 11 other households could drop down out of the loft access at any moment!

Broadly speaking, the landlord is responsible for keeping vermin out of the property.

Crikey. Are the neighbours that bad?

[JK0]

I'm looking at buying another buy to let but one of my houses which has the same tenant of 8 years is now on periodic .I can not find it

Did you not go to see it before you bought it? Maybe google the address.
