Come back to us when you get the DPS response.

You should have got your own plumber - the most important person in your letting contacts book. Who cares is other' plumbers are nasty - get your own.

Others contents insurance are not your concern but you are repsonsible for damage to below flat. Assess age of carpet before agreeing...

1. Get on to the DPS and find out what happened in the £100 deposit case. Get all the details.

2. Was the fridge on the inventory and yet not in the property? Who put the mini fridge int he communal area?

3. Inform the police of the theft and get an incident number.

The court fee is a lot to lose if tenant denies getting the S21 notice. You need PROOF to show in court - so either 2 receipts as suggested above or a pic/selfie dated of you posting notice through the letterbox of the property. Make sure the property is clearly identified as I have had tenants deny...

Surely husbannds are men. I have Lesbian tenants who call each other wife. I assume they know what they are talking about.

Was there an inventory at start of tenancy?

Louvre doors! How long have they been in place?

Email your local planners and ask. I often find you get a quicker reply that way. In a conservation area I would say you need consent.

This seems a lot of fuss about 2 days CT. If you feel that strongly Nessa pay the bill minus the 2 days worth. See what response that brings.

It is quite straighforwards and on the net I'm sure I've seen a completed example. Save your £60 next time.

The thing most landlords fall down on are S21 notice and all the deposit paperwork/CP12/ How to rent etc.

Actually JJ that is a spendid idea. Surely OP told friend of what not to do with this type of loo in the bathroom. Make friend pay.

Why? Got one in a let basement flat. Have it serviced annually or at change of tenant so if anything goes wrong due to abuse T pays. Have special clause and instructions for tenant so they are aware before move in.

Only had 1 incident in 5 years - Saniflo Cubic - the big one....

How many persons are sharing the house?

[Interlaken]

A new macerator blade (assuming that is what is broken) is around £90 but that is only part of the package as it won't work without a pump (the most expensive item). Paying for the macerator would seem fair to me.

I think life of the unit depends on usage and not what a salesperson r...

I never trust solicitors to check this stuff out - only last week I stepped in with the following method to move a sale on.

Get the deeds of the other flat from the Land Registry yourself and find out who the owner is. If no address use 192.com or similar to trace them. Then write or...

I had to do this in slightly differing circumstances a few months ago and paid £10 to a local solicitor (what he called 'beer money'). There are around 7 solicitors in my local area and only 1 was offering this service. Another one I got from the net wanted £140.00 for same service.

For letting purposes a CP12 is required. Is this document you have called a CP12?

[Interlaken]

Is this the one where you have each share of freelold? If the correct procedures have been followed regarding building regs I don't see how you can enforce your fellow freeholder to take out more insurance. Ask to see the contractors insurance.

I'll start wth Q4 first. Yes you will be creating an HMO so consult your local authority as to their rules. You might even have to apply for planning consent and get a licence. Fees will be payable and recommendations carried out by a responsible builder and be signed off. The neighbours may not...

That does look good JKO. - So when's the new tenant arriving?
