I would go with the s21 no fault eviction. The only defence is procedural so check it would be valid here: https://markprichard.co.uk/documents...lidity-checker

I think your instinct to sell is right. If your mortgage payments are dependent on the tenant paying the rent then you may struggle to meet mortgage affordability criteria and its not a risk I would take with a tenant you think might stop paying out of spite. You need to take a more robust attitude...

You will prob need to replace it when she leaves anyway so I would do it now but give her cleaning instructions and an inventory addendum to sign

Look, at the end of the day you can only do what you can do. If you can't pay any more at this point then ignore their pressure and just get only with the rest of your list. I can't see why they need to make a claim on their insurance if you're offering the deposit anyway. If they assess that there...

Do they pay their own electricity? If so then suggest a fan heater to supplement the central heating in their rooms

If all the occupants are named tenants then I dont think you have to do anything about the tenancy. You should agree a new lead tenant for DPS purposes though and perhaps jointly write to DPS to explain/request the change.

I dont think youre entitled to anything off the rent but you can try if you want. I think you just keep reminding the landlord about the extent of the problem and hope they get on with it

Theyre useful in some circumstances as has been said, but I will be amazed if you end up getting more than that £20 pm.

Rent to rent schemes rarely seem to end well for landlords. Read a few of the threads before jumping to renew such an agreement.

If your boyfriend has evidence that he was promised a parking space prior to the tenancy then he may have a case under consumer protection legislation. However, what is it that he wants to achieve? If the lack of a parking space is a deal-breaker then he may be able to unwind the tenancy. If he would...

I agree. Just give verbal consent. Its no biggie.

I wouldn't have thought that there is a need for an extra week's rent either as the dates that the rent covers will not change, its just that by agreement, the payment date will be later....

You really need to start your own thread rather than hijack other peoples. Perhaps the Mods will separate this one.

If you really want to buy this property then just leave it to the mortgage broker to sort out. That's their job and I doubt that the rate will be massively more.

I would get them to sign a deed of surrender and then chase them through Mcol for the arrears

I am surprised that the EHO wasn't willing to help you. I would be inclined to go back to them and escalate your concerns about the water and ask if they are willing to put pressure on the landlord to test the water. My understanding was that part of their job is to protect you as a tenant, although...

I would also say that if you've walked away from a 3 year rent to rent scheme without a problem then you can count yourself very lucky and should not be tempted to repeat the mistake....

If this is a fixed term tenancy that doesn't become contractually periodic then no notice is required and the tenant can just leave at the end of the fixed term....
