In well defended case, possibly.



If you believe the Ministry of Justice official statistics, then from claim through all the way to actual eviction via bailiffs or HCEOs in 2019 had a mean of 27.4 weeks, with a median of 18.7 weeks for those that started as accelerated possessions...

Well yeah, but whether it's wise, and whether it has the effect you intended are different questions.

A landlord cannot legally evict their tenant except through the courts obtaining an order for possesion and then having that order executed by bailiffs or High Court enforcement officers....

OP, I have personal issue with you not willing to let to people with children. If one of your tenant get pregnant, are you going to evict them as soon as they're no longer protected as new parents?

Having said that, family with children is not a protected characteristic. And while age is,...

Tell them you want to unwind the tenancy.

Keep those messages from the other viewers that support your case that the photos are materialy different to the actual condition of the property. If you have photos of the current condition, even better.

No. Assuming assured (whether shorthold or otherwise) tenancy, which is the default for residential tenancy where the tenant is a natural person (i.e. human not company), then if the tenant is still living there when the tenancy ends through time, a new periodic tenancy automatically arise as a matter...

I'm sure I can register a company at Companies House, make an agreement with you in the company which has no asset's name, collect a few months rent, fail to pass it over and then disappear.

Well, parliament could in theory, but I don't think such significant changes to landlords & tenants right would ever be retrospective. It's not as simple as disapplying or repealing s21 of the Housing Act 1988 since quite a few pieces of legislations use the valid-ness of s21 as punishment for non-compliance....

You won't win against the agent.



You have a contract with a clause that says the tenant is to pay the council tax, which mean your legal remedy would be to take your ex-tenant to court if they don't pay the amount of the council tax that you end up paying the council....

[KTC]

Because of the way the law is written in regards to determining who is responsible for council tax. Not new, it's as old as council tax itself....

[KTC]

You need to clarify what you mean by that. Is it (A) a six months fixed term, followed by a statutory periodic tenancy pursuent to section 5 of the Housing Act 1988, or is it (B) a tenancy with an initial six month terms that continues month by month contractually.



That's...

No. The kick-in date for new tenancy was 1 June 2019. It's this year for existing tenancy and SPT....

"An assured tenancy cannot be brought to an end by the landlord except by—

(a) obtaining—

(i) an order of the court for possession of the dwelling-house under section 7 or 21, and

(ii) the execution of the order,

............."

The term will apply if and when the tenancy is no longer assured.

Did you mean MdeB's post to have a TA with wording along the line of 'eg "The Term: X months from and including <start date> to and including <end date> and continuing monthly thereafter".'?

First question, were the tenant aware of and agreed to the fee (both nature and amount) when the tenancy started? If yes, okay. If no, you can't charge it anyway.

Next, if ignoring the Tenant Fees Act prohibition were the fee incurred before or after 31 May? If before, okay. If after, then...

Not since Deregulation Act 2015 insertion of ss (4ZA).

The remaining difference in requirement of "not earlier than the earliest day on which, apart from section 5(1) above, the tenancy could be brought to an end by a notice to quit given by the landlord on the same date as the notice"...

You cannot "authorise an adult to occupy premises under a residential tenancy agreement if the adult is disqualified as a result of their immigration status". I would suggest not granting anyone subject to immigration control a tenancy until and unless they're already inside the country. As...

(Last time I checked) giving a copy of their certificate to the tenant is part of MyDeposits insurance scheme initial requirements if and only if there are joint tenants, it isn't part of the initial requirements if only one person was the tenant, which you know isn't confusing at all.

The Council Tax Guidance Manual from the Valuation Tribunal Service says:


So if it's self-contained and not being used for accommodation, it's no longer part of the dwelling that is being let seperately?...
