I'd have thought that your landlord would simply have to tell the council of the change in circumstances and then you'd have to claim the exemption.
Or, most likely, you could probably do both at the same (very long) time.

Mortgage products are based on risk profiles which are regulated.

The risks associated with a tenancy - where the occupants are usually long term - and the risks associated with a holiday let (or a mortgagee's residential home) are different.

Nothing in what you have said surprises...

If the landlord/agent didn't confirm anything would be moved out, if it was advertised as furnished it should be pretty much as it was when you viewed it.
The landlord/agent don't know what things you already have.

[jpkeates]

Agree.
Let's move on....

I don't think it matters whatever it says.
In a joint and several contracts any tenant break clause would have to be executed by all of the joint tenants....

[jpkeates]

If so, it would be the responsibility of whoever made the selection (assuming it was the driver who did it).

And an arrangement where the landlord or agent selected the supplier would probably be prohibited unless the landlord/agent paid for the fuel, which is something I've not encountered...

Notices should be served first class with a proof of posting certificate (never anything that needs signing for).
Unless the post isn't delivered to an individual letter box in the addressee's door.

It's not the same thing.

Buying up every publication available and featuring predominantly BAME people with the odd white face as a novelty would be the same thing.
Representation is a huge issue for minorities, which members of an established majority often don't "get"...

flyingfreehold I didn't know that - thanks...

I don't, personally recommend RGI at all.
And we're not allowed to recommend or criticise companies on the forum....

I can't read the Daily Mail (Ad Blocker), but Ammonium Nitrate isn't a chemical weapon, it's used to make explosives.
Chemical, Biological and Nuclear weapons are a different class of weapon - the Sarin Gas attack in Japan is the only one I can think of recently....

Part of the problem is that pretty much every magazine is for (and features) white kids.

The only way to erode racism is to positively address and oppose it.

None of us lives in a vacuum....

[jpkeates]

Totally agree.

[jpkeates]

Even if it was the driver, surely the tenant selected the supplier and are responsible to the landlord for their conduct.

The tenant might be able to recover their own loss from the oil supplier.

Unless the landlord sneaked in and knocked the lid off, it's not the landlord's...

[jpkeates]

Which, in this case, is good news.

The deposit wouldn't need to be protected, the gas safety certificate isn't a block and the EPC probably isn't an issue.

I'd involve a solicitor, though, the OP doesn't want to be in court trying to explain s10 of the 1988 Housing Act....

[jpkeates]

They really shouldn't - most boilers have some kind of maximum temperature control, but otherwise.

HHSRS "guidelines" say "Centrally controlled space heating systems should operate in a way that makes sure occupants are not exposed to cold indoor temperatures. Occupants should...

If the notice was served on 13 Jan 2020 and hasn't been escalated into the court system, it expired on 13th July.

[jpkeates]

I am not clear why the company exists at all, there must be some reason it was created.

But the company is a separate entity for tax and you and your partner are presumably directors of it.
So the company operates its business and, if it makes profit, pays corporation tax at 19%....

If there is an act of chemical, biological or nuclear terrorism, three years rent is the last thing anyone will be worried about....

[jpkeates]

Thank you.
Much clearer!

Off to Preston I go....
