I applaud you on your forward thinking in regards '' tailing '' them, very smart. I agree with the above comments, i feel for the new landlord...... and in my opinion if you had, had the opportunity to evict them and their two children it is not you who is responsible but the adult who has decided not...

It is this that i first thought of, i had a conservatory and the roof by definition got very dirty and it was not an easy ob to clean it, it all depends on how it is supported in terms of roof bars etc as to the weight you can put on it for cleaning. In the end i got rid of it for all manner of reasons...

[Hudson01]

Agree, most of this would of been available to see when you viewed...... and the burglar alarm.... well again that would of been obvious it was not fitted, why is it an issue now. As said, simply speak with the landlord/agent to try and sort some of them out but i suspect things like the alarm will...

[Hudson01]

As above....... i also wonder if they would be declaring this ' extra ' income to the HMRC ??? I wonder

[Hudson01]

Sign me up ...

I guess it is a perception thing..... when we moved house we removed our fridge/freezer (a large one) and the washer and dryer..... all portable given we took them with us !...

[Hudson01]

You need to see this contract they say you have agreed too and how exactly you have agreed to it !!! Is seems very odd indeed that you can not have your own preferred tenant to have YOUR property, what a strange affair that is. I would be inclined to do as you say and change the lock and the code and...

As above, consult an '' expert '' and pray you don't have an AST.

[Hudson01]

As above, do nothing for now i suspect the film will appear nowhere and it was simply done to make you feel intimidated...... which did work of course, as said next take have someone else there and if anything like this happens again call 999 straight away, take no chances with people who would think...

[Hudson01]

This is what i think, a proposal is exactly that, something in the planning or pre-contract stage.... i would let this one go, it can not be that good for you to attempt legal action surely....

[Hudson01]

I suspect that until you have signed the AST or paid the deposit/first months rent then you have no lease, at any point up until the point of signing the landlord and/or agent can find something in the references or other checks that they do not like and pull out, that is what a signed agreement is...

[Hudson01]

Ditto, when they did something like this their card is marked and they would be out at the earliest opportunity, without integrity you have nothing....

[Hudson01]

Even without the landowners permission it is a real pain !...

[Hudson01]

This is the single most important factor in having a trouble free AST, get this wrong and everything else simply falls apart....... however right or wrong your case is, if they do not pay or wreck the property you are in a world of pain....

[Hudson01]

Clearly i am a landlord and not a doctor but i would not be happy for any of my children living in a room covered with what i see in that picture, As stated above the LL really needs to visit or send a trades person and rectify what is happening here, hands off landlords are all great when they own...

[Hudson01]

You are in a no win situation, if things are so bad that a one months rental payment is stopping you from moving then i can not see how you will ever escape your current position, something will have to give for this to improve and i can not see that thing being the landlord having a change of heart...

[Hudson01]

For self preservation this is a sensible suggestion....

[Hudson01]

The questions about the nature of the driveway are really important in giving a balanced and accurate answer. If it is yours totally then a swift metal post placed into the driveway will stop them either leaving the drive or entering it but it all depends on how the drive has become yours or yours to...

[Hudson01]

I think you know what kind of agent/landlord you have, as said above report them.

[Hudson01]

jon66 - I still think that with the right tenants (ie the pay !) property can still be a good place to put your money but with the wrong ones a world of pain awaits. The Brexit factor is something that i am really unsure of, god knows how this will mix with the inevitable recession to come from the...
