With the utter chaos going on at the moment i would rule nothing out, and what happened in the past is exactly that ..... the past and cannot be looked at as an indicator of what may happen in the future, i am keeping a very open mind coupled with a total distrust of ANY govt who comes into power, if...

encona,

Also remember that you are inviting a total stranger to live with you, it is akin to simply inviting a member of the public off the street !! Do you know if they have a criminal record..... for violence or sexual offences, simple answer is no you do not. My home is my sanctuary...

I would do as 'Andrewdod' suggests...... as an aside, I think you have been very lucky not to have the house trashed or worse ! This is the reason why i will never allow a lodger into my home, ever. I have zero emotional attachment to my BTL's but i do to my house, i would think very carefully before...

I would concur, a HMO is not a place for a small child to stay in the medium term.

I would agree that the clause does you no favours and you are in breach. If i were a resident who's flat happened to be sited above your garage (i know some blocks have flat not situated close to the actual owner) then i would be miffed if at times of the day and evening a builder is accessing it and...

To be fair to the tenants if they could not get hold of you (understandable) and its the early hours of the morning what else are they to do, they needed the door to be secure. I agree they would charge a lot but that comes with the out of hours call service.

Maybe they do have some extra furniture to bring and wanted to know if it would fit. I am not too sure if measuring rooms is suspicious, if i were buying a property i may well do the same.

[Hudson01]

As others have said i am unsure if this would be a sensible course of action, i would simply move, and as said request the landlord let you out of the tenancy if it is not a periodic one at present, some battles are worth fighting for but in my opinion not this one, just move on.

[Hudson01]

Did you get the necessary paperwork telling you who protected it and where it was ? My first thoughts would be the original landlord is your most likely target as the agent is simply working for him/her and its they who are responsible.

If all this Brexit madness brings along a Labour govt then we as landlords truly are stuffed, i read an article on this and watched McDonnell i think it was who see's nothing whatsoever wrong with taking someone else's asset and giving it (well at a discount) to the poor and down trodden, i can see...

Chalk this one up to experience, she clearly had him in mind to be living at the property from day one and kept you in the dark, he sounds like a lot of the anti social types and i doubt any quiet word will cut the mustard, i agree that its for the neighbours do have a word as she (and he now lives...

[Hudson01]

Given he is not paying the rent and is already coming up with nonsense excuses why you can not have access i see any breach of his contract in terms of entering the property as going nowhere, however strong your legal position is we all know that some tenants simply do not care a stuff what the contract...

As above, don't worry at all in regards the reporting of the '' robbery '' he is clearly not up on what constitutes the offense of Burglary and as such you can be fairly sure it will go nowhere. The various reporting routes suggested for this individual are a very good idea. Good luck.
