Next door flat tanking the hole of the his flat to stop rising damp

No they have not asked for a party wall agreement or asked for permission from the freeholders or from myself.

The first I knew of it was when I received an email today from them to say that work has already started.

It has been known for some time that the two basement need to be damp proofed. However my next door neighbour instead of damp proofing is now tanking the whole of the flat which will push the damp into my flat, if he tanks the shared wall. A few years ago he denied my request to pay for a damp proof...

The new laws regarding deposit and how much etc come into being on the 1st of June so do not apply to an AST at this moment in time....

Both replies interesting. Although there is a government list of things the tenants should know about which apparnelty they need to have handed to them, but I would have thought that is down to the Agent.

The laws do not come into effect until June 1st and they only want to rent the place...

Just to mention that the new tenants are moving in tomorrow. So some of the laws do not apply until the 1st of June!

Does anyone know what the new laws are regarding Assured Short-hold tenancy Agreement. My Agent is trying to sell me theirs because they say that there have been quite a few changes within the last year.

I have all ready put in double glazing to bring the flat up to E, there are no fees...
