Coronavirus - asking council for a break

Come on, you're a landlord. No-one's going to give us a break.

I wondered how long it would be before we heard the modern equivalent of: 'Don't you know there's a war on?'

Portion of email just received from my Landlord Insurers:

Rent guarantee cover

Some of our landlord customers have rent guarantee cover, so we want to provide clarity on this. The Government have looked to provide some stability for both tenants and landlords in these uncertain times, announcing that no tenant will be evicted during a three-month period and if necessary, landlords are able to apply for a three-month payment holiday on their Buy to Let mortgage. These announcements remove the legal mechanism to take a rent guarantee claim forward and so no new rent guarantee claims will be paid for the next three months.

Next new tenancy take out RLP insurance for £15 which covers your legal fees when evicting a tenant for non payment and the rent

Ha. I can't believe people still think this will pay up.

- they think they will be closing soon for the duration.

Crikey. How long is it since anyone heard those words?

(Not funny, but couldn't think what other thread to post this in.)

The boiler has been looked at and is operating fine but has a small leak. Shall we still go ahead with it considering the current climate?

Thanks.
AL.

I think relying on climate change to remove the necessity for central heating is a bit of a forlorn hope.

Do solicitors not know grammar?

But the garden isn't going to ever be maintained (as you would like it) by tenants.

Ain't that the truth.

Today...

I seen on wed Diy and download AST, are these any good and can someone recommend?

[JK0]

i just wanted to know to want my right ours?

wtf? ...

At another place ....

I must admit i did not know the landlord name needed to be on the tenancy, I thought having the agent name was enough.

New depths plumbed I fear....

Urrgh, can't believe i made that rookie mistake...

[theartfullodger]

I plead guilty as charged, Sir!

Please note, I am re-learning it...

I don't think I've mentioned it before Artful, but I appreciate that you will offer up Shelter for advice. I've seen so many landlords consider them to be the enemy, whereas I feel they do a great service against the rouge elements out there.

I think Artful is a rouge element, isn't he? He's just been learning The Red Flag, after all.

Repairs should have access provided by tenant, but only when it suits them: (eg if working night shifts, not during the day..)

Cause builders often work nights & weekends?
