Thank him kindly for his request but politely decline: If he does leave early & doesn't pay rent to end of fixed term (assuming not perioidic) usual normal methods (court..) to recover funds.

He can leave any time he likes, this evening if he wishes, - you can't stop him - but remains...

Insurance is (obviously) designed to make profits for the person selling & providing the insurance cover. So, on balance, it will always be cheaper (big enough sample) to have no such cover...

Yes, one property, one premium, might get repayment over cost of premium. But with, say,...

A great record, good for you!

But, with respect, since presumably no judge has given judgement on each & every one of those (presumably 100's..) of cases you don't actually KNOW you've "never got it wrong", merely that you've "never been found wanting"...

Of course it's not OK to ignore safety & security issues, although not all are necessarily landlord responsibility. See good guidance on Shelter website on how to handle this, including draft letter to send to landlord & agent & how to involve Council (I know you have).

Yes. So your choice, s13, s21 or both - or do nothing....

Thanks! Aye, looking forward to that...

In case you were wondering (broadly...) Thatcher's 1988 Housing Act "Section 21" permits a landlord to evict a tenant for no reason at all: Even a "perfect" tenant who pays on time, looks after the property, gets on well with neighbours letting agent, landlord etc... can still be...

The council own what were garages next to a house of mine in Surrey, there was a party-wall (back of garages) against which a previous owner to me had build a brick shed 20-30years ago. Council are in process of demolishing garages & building 3 houses (I'm fine with that). Council have agreed...

Was there ever a written agreement? If not, anything in email, letter, txt ???

Yet another example of why 6 months then rolling is so to be recommended.

They can leave any time they like, but will remain liable for rent to end tenancy. How many months left?

Ask them (calm, polite) for a forwarding address: You kinda want a refusal as then you can start...

Look up letting agent redress scheme, find out which one they are in & follow their procedures.

Join RLA or NLA & do their education. Fire agent. Learn from this & move on.

Sorry this has happened, sadly not all agents are competent or honourable:. (Bit like landlords...

Was there a contract or an invoice or an estimate? Who was named as customer - mum or you? "We" can't sue, but the person named can. Was the work done when mum was owner or when you were owner? Have land registry deeds been updated? What insurance do YOU have on the property? Is there a gas...

Did you get receipts for the cash paid?? If not, were you regularly taking the same amount out of the bank a day or so before paying it?? (i.e. what evidence do you have that you have paid). (In future, suggest cheque or bank transfer, then both tenant & landlord have nice clear records of what...
