The above post just goes to prove that you cannot help some people.

This.....given they are aware of your current situation in getting back to the UK they could simply keep the deposit and every single penny in rent..... and practically what could you do ? I would not touch them. As said, go with a well known high street agent or leave it empty....

I understand why the carpet is of this high quality (your own home) but as said, for a tenanted house this was a mistake. There is good reason why BTL properties are not of the same quality as those owned ones. I would let it go if the carpet which is there is of normal quality, i feel it will be a...

Me too..... i also get them to sign to confirm they have received the '' how to avoid mould guide '', that i issue to all tenants along with the other paperwork, but for some..... you cannot help it simply all passes them by....

[Hudson01]

As said above, it's a No No.

As well as no moving out when you want them too, they could use it for all sorts of '' activities ''..... Cannabis Farm for one. There is very good reason landlords and letting agents and lenders do not allow this.

You are correct, the lack of airflow is being caused by the room being effectively used as a storage unit, i do agree with another of the posts though..... they may never change and a S21 may be the only way out of it. I have had the same issue and some tenants just do not get it, the information on...

Do this..... no ' grow ' can get out of this, but if you do live far away ensure the neighbours have your contact number, they always tend to notice something is up and call the Police..... who on the whole will not respond how you think on the first or even second call,it will simply be put in as '...

Could you simply keep interviewing prospective tenants until some working examples turn up ? There must be some out there......

[Hudson01]

Cutting the timing so close is fine ..... if they move out ! I would not take the chance, keep it empty, if they decided not to move then your plans will be up in the air.

[Hudson01]

Totally agree with the above...... it's the EPC C to come that will sneak up and bite all the unaware on the backside..... i am keeping a very keen eye on everything to do with it, if things change, then my plans change and i am out..... and so sadly are my tenants.

[Hudson01]

I agree with the above comment...... why was this not disclosed before any viewing took place. There are so many good tenants out there that taking any ' chance ' just seems unnecessary.

[Hudson01]

I am not saying that we should disclose all manner of exterior ' issues ' to prospective tenants, aka, lousy street lighting etc..... that is totally outside of the remit of that LL, The combustible cladding is not, it is attached to the whole building ! Not 100 yards away or on a restaurant down the...

[Hudson01]

The vast majority of residential dwellings in this country have mains gas and mains electricity...... there are far fewer that have combustable cladding on the outside of the dwelling, which then greatly increases the risk of a fatality should a fire start. I do not consider fire marshals the same as...

Whoops....... i need to learn to totally support our glorious leader and his sidekicks !!!!

[Hudson01]

I would agree with this actually..... but ....... the choice should have been for the prospective tenant to make that decision given the relevant facts....

[Hudson01]

Depending on the size of the block of flats it may not be totally obvious that it has fire wardens, in the same way that most Police Officers never actually see a burglar climbing out of a window.... it's right time, right place. I would say though that for these ' blighted ' flats it should state in...

[Hudson01]

You should lose nothing, the LL clearly knows the inherent dangers his property has and although i do feel a great deal of sympathy for all LL's and owners of such flats, renting it out to someone and not telling them is out of order, you have been deceived and as such no financial loss should be yours...

[Hudson01]

And it has not changed a jot today !!! I should know i work with a lot of the lazy ...........

[Hudson01]

I do not know the answer to your questions but others will be along soon i am sure...... personally i would not have signed on the dotted line if i had been told., not a chance.

[Hudson01]

Having read through the tangled web of ' he could say/she could say ,' and the necessary collusion between a LL and their tenant, it just goes to prove why the asked for S21 should not be issued. To be asked by the tenant to evict them so they can obtain (in their dreams) a council house is totally...
