It seems my earlier message have failed to get through to you.

The insurance you're talking about IS NOT for your protection. The only beneficiary is the landlord (and the insurance company). If at the end of the tenancy you fail to return the property in the condition required and the...

[KTC]

Probably not.



You can always ask, whether they will agree is a different question. But then again, you have no obligation to do anything. Your tenancy was granted on the basis that you paid the £280 insurance premium, which you did. What happens then between the landlord...

[KTC]

Assuming you paid the money when you agreed to pay it over. That's their problem, not yours. You have a valid tenancy agreement. Hold them, well the landlord through them, to it.



Stop calling it a deposit. Stop thinking of it as a deposit. You didn't pay a deposit. You paid...

Only in England, which OP also need to confirm.

For your future reference OP, as a tenant, always go with the actual deposit option. You get those back, there's arbitration option if you dispute the amount of the deposit deduction, and you're not paying the premium for an insurance which...

Single-let doesn't necessarily mean a single family, and HMO doesn't necessarily mean multiple tenancies. It's perfectly possible to be both single-let and HMO.

What's the definition of single-let in your mortgage? If it just mean a single tenancy, is that what you have? If not, then you...

I have to respond to this.

Whether you are pro-landlord or pro-tenant, the safety of the occupiers are a hell of a lot more important than the ability of a landlord to evict a tenant without grounds....

[KTC]

You can try s21? If you did give it before the tenancy start, the tenant may not challenge it.

Any valid s8 ground, in particularly g1?

A relevant appeal is going through the Court of Appeal at the moment, the judgment may or may not be beneficial to you. Don't know how long...

[KTC]

If they argue you only gave them the documents when you gave it the 2nd time round, then you (probably) won't be able to give any s21 notice.

[KTC]

Assuming you mean that a CPT could be under s21(1), I'm not convinced that's correct.

[KTC]

For section 21 purposes, if in Wales the notice must end on the last day of a period of the tenancy. If the period is longer than monthly, then the length of the notice will be more than 2 months.

If by winning, you mean the jackpot, I think you need to do the maths or look it up again. ...

[KTC]

Yes it would....

* Look at article date *

"May 2018"

Not been the case since November 2013*.



Yes. At least 2 months, on Form 6A if in England.

* Theoretically before that as well, but that's the date of the Court of Appeal's judgment....

[KTC]

Assuming the tenant didn't pay the whole 6 months fixed term tenancy rent in advance making the SPT a 6-monthly periodic (again, there's a reason I asked), then the council is correct in its billing.

Whether you can separately sue your former tenant for the cost of the council tax depend...

[KTC]

You answered my first question, but not the 2nd (or 3rd). That information is required to give you a correct response.

[KTC]

Were the tenancy within a fixed term, contractual periodic, or statutory periodic? If periodic, what's the period of the tenancy (e.g. monthly, quarterly, half-yearly)? If contractual periodic, was there an initial fixed term and if so what was its length?

[KTC]

This came up before and I had the same question then. On what legal basis does the DPS have with having a 30 days you can't do anything with this deposit waiting period. Someone really need to ask them that. ...

[KTC]

Without the cancellation, everything sounds reasonable....

[KTC]

Great (for the tenant), 10 years worth of wear and tear....

[KTC]

Sounds like a scam to me. How sure are you that the person claiming to be the landlord is the owner / have permission of the owner to let out the property?
