In this case the GSC valid at the time the tenant move in was served but some months later.

Further down the article it says: There are, however, two difficult questions which are left open by the judgment. The first is what the position is if the landlord has not done a gas safety check...

Neighbours keep complaining out my occupiers and their anti-social behaviour but don't want to do anything about it as they feel intimidated. Not a lot I can do if they won't even report anonymously.

The rent isn't being paid, nearly 9 months now. It's the cost of the eviction they are covering....

Because the tenant gave them the key and moved out - they have rights and don't they know it. I have solicitors dealing with it - insurance is paying as they aren't the tenants.

[pebblepebble]

I can't even do that as it's not the tenant in there to sign a deed of surrender....

What a kick in the teeth for those who thought they were nearly there....

[pebblepebble]

That's also a good point. My insurers still cover my property although the tenant has moved out as the occupiers are in there without my permission. I'm not sure what their position would be if the person in there wasn't on the tenancy but had my permission to be there....

Are either of you in the South East? Still waiting to hear about mine - I haven't got past first base yet but it's a solicitor dealing with mine. I haven't supplied any information about Covid yet - not sure I can as the tenant has been gone nearly 6 months now and changed his contact details without...

If the meter is broken how do they know the reading is correct, particularly as there is no sign of any water leak.

Don't do it. My tenants gave the key to supposedly to a brother and moved out of the country. No rent paid for eight months now and waiting for my turn in the courts - no point in pursuing outstanding amounts with a CCJ either. According to neighbours there are four adults in a 2 bed property. If your...

I used MCOL several times for the company I worked for. We only went to court once and one of the directors attended - but that was many years ago and not for rent arrears.

I think he will hike taxes, particularly on second homes. However I don't think it will all be done in one go.

That sounds like a bit further forward. When did you first send this to court, was it before lockdown in March? Let us know how you get on - I am intrigued to know what their interpretation is of 'soon'....

I have the situation in my two bed property - tenant and his family moved out and have given the keys to his brother to carry on living there (rent free of course). There are now three men living there (yes Eastern European) and we think now there is also a woman. None will give names. I have no...

As a matter of interest how long it it acceptable to be expected to return to sender? When I moved here I did it for 6 months then everything that came after that went into the bin. They did have a postal divert (I assume for 6 months as we started to get more post after that time) but some things...
