Give notice now to excercise the break clause at the one year mark?...

[JK0]

Me?

Two weeks and anything left goes to the tip. Government seem to agree this. See section 6 here:

Did you not go to see it before you bought it? Maybe google the address. ...

I'd keep them both on the tenancy, by doing nothing at all. Then you have two people to sue if the rent is not forthcoming.

Crikey. Are the neighbours that bad? ...

[JK0]

Yeah. A long time ago....

I think in the interests of neighbourliness I would overlook it this once, but make clear that lessee does not instruct work again.

Tenant in your new place will feel...

Could you leave garage door open and hope the items get taken by itinerant scrap men?

I think that website is written by f***wits for f***wits.

Just do it as I suggest, and don't sign tenancy agreement until day it starts. If tenant is iffy about sending you the money, ask them to give it to you in cash on the day they move in.

[JK0]

Much the same as you Claymore. If a tenant wants to reserve a property for some weeks hence, I ask for the first month's rent to reserve it.

(No doubt the government have some problem with me doing that.)

I think Lawcruncher recently pointed out that an AST agreement needs...

Reading through these pages, the references to GDPR look like a mad joke.

[JK0]

In future don't sign tenancy agreement until the day it starts and you have pound notes in your hot little hand.

Judges eh? What do you expect?
