Does deposit cover rent?

[Lawcruncher]

Whilst the title may may show that the garden is not included in the demise of the first floor, you need to look at the lease to see if any rights are granted over the garden. Such rights could be:

· An exclusive right to use the garden
· A right to share use of the garden

Strictly they are not 100%, but I think we can concede that it is not unreasonable to assume that most deposit provisions cover rent.

For the record, the agreement from which the deposit clause was taken was very amateurishly drafted in other respects....

Any assumption that the deposit automatically covers anything has in my view to be incorrect. The deposit is a security and only covers what the agreement says it covers...

Whilst in most cases that will be fine, it should be noted that if a tenant has given a notice to quit any "extension" operates to grant a new tenancy....

If we allow you to remain in the Property after the fixed term has expired then the Tenancy will continue as a contractual periodic tenancy

If the above "worked" then the grant of the tenancy would be void. It is an essential requirement of a tenancy that at any given moment the...

As it refers to "provision" for unsettled bills I think it has to mean to water, gas, electricity and the like....

A tenancy agreement contains the following provision:

The landlord may make reasonable deductions from the deposit for any damage or costs incurred, or as provision for unsettled bills

Does that cover rent? I do not think it does since rent is not any of damage, costs or an...

What oblgations does the tenancy agreement impose on the tenant and what does it say the deposit covers?

This thread https://forums.landlordzone.co.uk/fo...upier-question discussed the concept of permitted occupiers.

If you want to grant a periodic tenancy with a long first period I think you need to do it in one clause....

Sorry, but I do not see that it does....

[Lawcruncher]

That is not the case.

It is necessary to distinguish two uses of "joint tenancy":

Situation 1 refers to where two or more persons are considered as the persons to whom a tenancy has been granted.

Situation 2 refers to where two or more persons are considered...

The clause was drafted by someone with a weak grasp of the relevant law. Not to worry though because, as you say, it does not apply to you if you do not want to leave early.

To expand on post 4, if the tenancy agreement simply says that the term is for x months, then the requirement to give notice is of no effect as the fixed term ends on its last day. So long as you vacate on or before the last day you will all right.

However, if the agreement says:

The following statements are usually true:

· If a house owner wants to build an extension and it would be handy if the neighbour's fence was in the wrong place and could be moved towards the neighbour, the fence is in the right place and the boundary follows the fence.

1. That obviously needs to be checked. It is possible that than an "extension" was agreed, but that the new lease has not been registered.

2. It seems that no parking space was inlcuded in the grant, but it is possible that some right was granted by the lease.

The wording is indeed standard.

The OP was asking if the use was only agricultural and I suggested it could not be because the word "animals" appeared. What the word does of course is confirm an agricultural use is included, not that the use is only agricultural.

[Lawcruncher]

It is not so much that any decision is subjective, but that all the relevant facts need to be considered and appropriate weight given to each.

You will get more information on the question than you probably want if you Google: unjustifiable increase in the burden of the easement.
