I don't think that is the same advert I saw.

[boletus]

Just checked, not outrageous at all;

[boletus]

Have you got a source for that? I thought that rents in general had barely kept up with inflation....

[boletus]

I think they're trying it on a bit. I'd defer some of the rent but review it month by month.



Seems a bit odd you don't know. I'd check the tenancy agreement and then let the tenants know. Some of them might not be so keen on deferring if they realise they are still responsible...

[boletus]

You don't but it is highly unlikely....

[boletus]

Amongst other questions;
What have they done to access the government help available?
When did they last get paid?
When do they want the deferral to start?
Do they know (if) they are joint and severally liable for the rent?

[boletus]

Inform them of the move online here (take screenshots);

No chance of them getting a warrant for months, if not years.
Don't worry about it.

[boletus]

A short and brief, no.
Be a lot more careful who you let to in future.

I got as far as this;

"Should they insist on a professional clean"

No. (You can't get one, well not officially/easily)

I didn't get much further on your post.

I'm sure your heart is in the right place and you've given good advice but you're

The problem is in how the advert was portrayed.
'Real' landlords will be delighted to have NHS tenants right now.

It was a lodging arrangement convenient for his place of work. He has a family home elsewhere.
It's being used to paint landlords as pantomime villains to raise revenue....

Why would one want to?

Why?
If that is what you've agreed then just keep to your word....

Why would one want to?...

Home owning guarantors (plural)?

Payment holiday means you remain control.

Default means you still have the hassle, the rent receiver takes control, their (deliberate?) incompetence is staggering, the asset is run into the ground, until a time of the lenders convenience and choosing,

eventually a vulture like me buys it

...

[boletus]

It will be counted as an outright default. Why not at least contact your lender first?...

[boletus]

They've said tenants can't be evicted for 3 months (so far).

The whole process takes a lot longer than that from start to finish.

[boletus]

Or you could negotiate.

E.g I'll let you defer rent payment if you let me smoke around in your nice big BMW until it is paid back.

(Nice to see you back Snorkerz)...
