Somebody near me has got one of these, also under a tree. It has proved to be sturdy, but..... as it's under a tree it has become discoloured and gone green with algae and looks a mess. You might like to reassure your landlord that you will keep your clean.

The slamming doors might be the closing devices on them - you do have closers I hope, and they might need adjusting.

Pc playing up. Sorry. Grrrr

[Berlingogirl]

I can't think why you would want to tell the employer. I have contacted the employer in two cases of tenants gone missing and in three cases of contractors from a

What jko says....

[Berlingogirl]

I suspect that the tenant wants to sue you for illegal eviction. Or a council house. Yes, send the rent statement and any other paperwork that shows you have tried to recover rent arrears. Some, most, or even all councils take a dim view of folk that try and jump the waiting list....

Are you sure they're bedbugs, have you seen them?

[Berlingogirl]

Id say after 6 months it's the tenants fault. Bed bugs are easy to pick up so please don't think your tenant is a dirty little sleep around. You can get bedbugs if you just brush against another person in passing eg the tube , supermarket or anywhere, if that person has bbs on their clothing. Ask me...

This is such a difficult one. A cat can scratch everything to destruction and guinea pigs stink. Dogs leave fur stuck to the skirting boards and invariably wreck the lawn and theres always poopies left in the garden after the tenant moves out. You'd think fish would be ok but no, my T smashed the tank...

[Berlingogirl]

I do this too!...

[Berlingogirl]

Thank you everybody for your responses, I didn't thank you earlier, sorry....

[Berlingogirl]

Did you sign the new agreement before giving the T his copy? T can ask for an interim payment (it's not called that but I can't remember what it is called). I'd issue a S8, S21 and a MCOL (having issued the relevant paperwork before hand).

[Berlingogirl]

Thank you Welshie, I asked at the council and they said what you said. I had misunderstood the form.

[Berlingogirl]

Change the locks. I'd also ask the Landlord to put in security lights and cameras and if he won't I'd get permission to put them in then take them when I move out at the end of the initial fixed term.

[Berlingogirl]

Sorry Hillsy101 you did say that. Always look on facebook - he might be telling everyone he's got a fab new job! If you know the area he's in you might try the electoral role.

[Berlingogirl]

What Artful says. Do you have a gas safety cert? You should have one....

[Berlingogirl]

I don't use a letting agent so I can't really say. However, I think you've made a big booboo by not redirecting your mail until you can sort your post out. The tenant might have used it as documentation for fraud, depending on what it is. I wouldn't complain at this point but make notes of your complaints...

[Berlingogirl]

I'd issue a MCOL at the last known address ie yours....

[Berlingogirl]

If you get the rent paid directly to you, you will have to tell the council that she has a change of circumstances ie BF is living there. Otherwise YOU will be responsible for repaying the overpayment if an overpayment is made. I would start a MCOL (money claim on line) having sent the appropriate paperwork...

[Berlingogirl]

I wouldn't. Who would want to live with neighbours like that? You might have to face a change of tenant every 6 months....
