That would depend on the agreement between the landlord & agent (which is almost certainly not the AST). What does yours say about such matters with your agent, please?

[theartfullodger]

Agent may be right about insurance (rent guarantee insurance, pays out if you don't) but that's landlord/agent's problem, not yours.

However , realise landord can evict you for no reason at all using s21

His normal insurance (buildings, contents) should be ok or he could buy...

Pretty sure you can rent to who you like and as you'd not be landlord of the humans wouldn't be responsible.

But in your shoes I'd have a conversation with home office on the subject & record it just-in-case.

As said above, sounds like fraud and I hope the council spot it.

However, one legal approach that should work. If you exclude part of the property from tenancy then, AIUI, landlord remains responsible for CT. So, exclude, say, a lockable large cupboard - you'll probably want to leave a...

You declare ALL income from ALL(**) sources and complete the SA online..

** All sources: Property, job, other work, boot sales, ebay, bank interest, share dividends, the lot. (No offense ,,,) but the the name of the tax is "income tax".

That Directors are ignorant of the law sadly, does not surprise me....

He can leave any time he likes: This night @ 11:23pm if he likes. But remains liable for rent to end of fixed term.

If you have enough info on him (employer, addresses of friends & relations, NI number, bank account details, copy of passpaort or DL - you know, the sort of things we...

Is that LA as a Ltd company, a trading name or a human being please? Does agent (whatever sort of... company, human...) have assets eg houses?

If still trading I might be inclined to visit on a busy saturday morning for a few hours and repeatedly loudly ask for payment whenever any customer...

Claim for what? Money, eviction, injunction???

[theartfullodger]

Just saw this close to one of my properties in the Scottish Highlands (where s21 never has applied..)

But you'd need more front than Brighton if hand-delivering Section 21 notices in that.......

Why are you considering refunding rent? Deposit, however,must be returned before any service of a valid s21


Also note re: a s21 notice does not end a tenancy nor, indeed, require tenant to leave. After it expires rent is still due & all other requirements of tenancy (both for...

Better luck next time...
