Possession order are allowed to be executed if arrears are at least 6 months and it was obtained after section 8 for one of the arrears ground. The other allowed reason for execution of PO are ASB. I don't know without checking whether ground 14 qualifies.

If you, as one of the joint tenant in a periodic tenancy, serves a valid notice to quit, then on the notice's expiry, the tenancy will end. It's not null and void in its more usual meaning as if it were never valid / never happened. You can specify the last or the first day of a period of the tenancy...

Yeah, there's council tax reduction which goes up to 100%. Wouldn't be suprised if someone on full HB/UC housing element has 100% reduction.

[KTC]

Actually, as the tenant is clearly no longer living there, the tenancy is no longer assured. Notice to quit, one complete period of the tenancy (monthly?) ending on the last day of the period....

There's the legally safest option, and there's the practical normal people can't believe you haven't done it yet option.

Legally safest, you serve valid notice (again), then bring possession proceedings, then have the possession order executed if and when allowed. The notice you had serve...

Your tenant moved out in December emptying the property of her possession, coinciding with HB/UC stopping paying you the rent presumingly because she told DWP/council she's no longer living there, and you've done what in the last 4 months?

Is she still in a fixed term tenancy?...

The estate agent is wrong that you cannot give notice unilaterally. However, your notice may not be valid because you sent it by email. The clause you quoted allows the landlord to send notices in relation to the tenancy by email you the tenant. It doesn't say anything about the tenant being able to...

One joint tenant can give valid notice that ends a periodic tenancy for all unless the tenancy agreement explicitly says otherwise.

Whether the purported notice you have given is valid or not depends on facts you haven't given. What does the tenancy agreement says about how notice may be...

The right to unwind only last for 90 days. You're well past that. You may however be entitled to a right to a discount, but you would have to take it to court or presumingly by agreement with the agent/landlord....

Re. the inventory, you're okay if you are willing to accept being required to return the property to the state when the original checkout was done, whether because you've personally looked around and compared and don't see any damages, or you gotten the outgoing tenants to pay you now for what you'll...

Admitting there's a half/half split in complaints against the decisions or their process being unfair/irrational etc. from opposing sides is not the arguments you think it is. ...

The Post Office is not unique in screwing up, and in this case ruining many lifes. Other both public and private bodies have been there and done that, and no doubt it'll happen again. We can talk about RSPCA and the issues surrounding their fox hunting private prosecutions, the then HM Customs and Excise...

Sure, but in that case it wouldn't be any different to say someone paying 3 or 6 months in advance at a time and then a surrender is agreed after a month or two. What happens then to the prepaid rent for a tenancy period that is not now happening would be up to the parties to agree, or in the case of...

If it's a fixed term tenancy that's at least as long, and the landlord does not have a break option, I don't see a problem....

A good tenancy agreement probably state that any notices related to the tenancy be served by the landlord, and considered good service, when send to the property in question. But that would only apply to the section 21 (or section 8 notice etc.), which has already been served.

The possession...
