What does your lease actually say about notices, permissions, fees etc.?

[KTC]

I'm not going to repeat what I wrote in response to you on another site but.....



Joint tenancy mean one tenancy, you're all parties as joint tenant to. If that's the case, why would you have signed seperately?...

[KTC]

There's no punishment related to validity of s21 for non-compliance with EICR legislations at all. The EICR requirements was made while they were thinking of scraping s21, so the direct punishment is solely a financial penalty payable to the local housing authority....

I don't think there's any more argument that the prescribed form is not required for older ASTs in England....

[KTC]

Oh for heaven's sake, someone cite a source and/or expand on their arguments and be done with it.

[KTC]

It's supposed to be given within 28 days....

Give or take, 4 months.

You now (for new tenancies, existing tenancies from April 2021) have to give them a copy even if they don't request it.

[KTC]

It's not a prescribed form. You can compare what you got against the model form to see the difference....

Councils already add (pre-determined one size fit all) cost every time they send you a new bill after every stage of their process.

Council tax liability appeal are determined at the Valuation Tribunal, not court.

At £100, pay it, then argue with the council if you want.

Up to 28 days on emergency power if not approved by both (or explicitly rejected by one) houses of parliament. The government has until then to get parliament's approval.

That's a bit conviently misleading by them. If the bill is rightfully due, then yeah your arguments will be with the landlord, but if the dispute is about whether the bill is even rightfully due, then that'd be with them.

You should probably be more proactively involved rather than stand...

That's Ground 1, Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1985 (secure tenancies), not Housing Act 1988 (assured tenancies)....

"where the court is satisfied that"

So probably need to apply to the court not only for the warrant in the first place, but for permission to execute the warrant....

I would suggest the landlord is responsible for the repair statutorily, so it wouldn't be just out of courtesy, but something you want to do ASAP from a legal point of view. Practically, being good by actively work with LL to get it repaired for free by the water company to maintain a good relationship...

Being pedantic, there is technically no Tier 1, 2, 3 system anymore since that was repealed when they bought in lockdown 2.0. Purely speculating, I would suspect that they're going to bring area out of lockdown individually rather than nationally altogether. If the area you're in get bought out of lockdown,...

Legally, unilaterally, you can't.

You can leave by 21 November, fixed terms end and that's that. Or if you stay, an SPT will arise. In that case, no notice given before 23 November will be valid. The earliest date you can end the SPT by if it arises is 21 January.

There is no right of appeal to the DPS arbitration result, in the sense of "they got the result wrong". If you have a complaint that it did not follow procedures in reaching its decision, then you can complain about that and if DPS agreed, DPS can change the decision or run it again. It's...

"where the most recent report under sub-paragraph (3)(a) requires such inspection and testing to be at intervals of less than 5 years, at the intervals specified in that report."

[KTC]

Or sooner if the previous inspector recommend so.
