Don't waste any effort

[theartfullodger]

Thank agent kindly for their helpful suggestion but decline.

Cheeky greedy agent!

[theartfullodger]

Use Mark Prichard's s21 checker.

Even if s21 is valid it does of course not end tenancy nor require tenant to leave.

[theartfullodger]

Tell teachers just because owner wants to live there or, indeed, even if owner has served valid notice they don't have to leave nor will owner's actions end tenancy.

Your cunning plan is almost guaranteed to go wrong. Even if you had some such agreement, if teachers won't let you in what...

Are you landlord, agent, solicitor, employee of tenant company, what?

[theartfullodger]

S11 says landlord responsible, but he may attempt to recover costs from tenant.

Clearly if property destroyed by air-crash tenant is not responsible "whilst in his care"?

Return deposit TODAY to tenant, even if you don't have it yet. Hopefully then if tenant sues you (yes YOU! ) for up to 3xdeposit judge will not award full amount.

You may have a claim against agent if eventually you suffer any loss. Check everything else on paperwork & get copies...

Invest in property? Try Lendy, pays 12%-ish, - as long as "investment" performs. A bit like being a landlord really....

s11 says landlord responsible. However LL at liberty to attempt recovery of costs from tenant if they think T guilty of damage.

[theartfullodger]

Bin it or return to sender, not known.

But, especially for any tenants who owe rent, it's amazing what low quality glue is used these days and how many envelopes "fall open" providing interesting info such as NI numbers, tax references, bank account details, employer name etc...

Well, serve s8 as well TODAY! s8g10 may be validly served if only 1p underpaid for just 1 day.

Check your s21 against...

Thanks: Did wife give you her actual address & name and also (if required if address not in England or wales) an address in England or wales?

Do we take it you have had no formal notices from daughter?

[theartfullodger]

Sigh! You still state "landlord" is "landlord".. Which of the various people is named on tenancy as landlord, please! Can we assume you mean father of daughter is named as landlord?

Suggest you 'phone Shelter 0808 800 4444 to discuss.

If you've been paying...

[theartfullodger]

Who/what is named as landlord on original tenancy agreement? Does that name match that on s21, please?

See Shelter's info on the schemes including council ability to fine for £5k.

Depending on how long ago you served it it might be worth re-serving in full.

e.g. if served a week ago, just send another, avoid any argument. But if served 4 months ago & judge about to consider the matter, see what happens.

[theartfullodger]

Tenancy is legal.

Perhaps living there isn't.

Landlord sounds an idiot - leave ASAP

[theartfullodger]

There are processes council can follow to pay just one of joint tenants. Press the council!
