Scrapping of s21 postponed

[KTC]

The landlord's obligations to the tenant, and requirement to comply with the law are independent of any pending possession proceedings. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 requires the landlord to have such test done every 12 months, and it is an offence with a maximum sentence of...

Lack of GSC render a s21 notice invalid, it does not render a s8 invalid. If a mandatory s8 ground is satisifed, then a possession order must be granted.

The lack of GSC itself is a criminal offence, I'm not aware of any civil remedy available to a tenant, aside from maybe an attempted...

If the Tomlin order is treated as (the equivalent of) a final order for possession, then no, there's no need for an reactivation notice. Apply away for the warrant or writ.

Before we get any further, I would like to point out that "cousin" is included in the definition of a single household. The definition of cousin however isn't........ Some councils have explicit interpretation that cousin mean first cousin. Doesn't necessarily mean they're right legally,...

Trespass to land is against a person in possession of said land. If the tenant have not yet taken up possession (implied by the assumption that tenancy had not begun), then landlord's still in possession. Can't trespass against ownself.

I would however debate whether the CPR applies as opposed to any relevant clause on method of service in the tenancy agreement.

How good are you at citing authorities and giving arguments on how your DIY form is "substantially to the same effect" to the prescribed form?

Just use the form as prescribed.

Hours (minutes, or seconds) something is served are (generally) irrelevant. For the purposes of our discussion, we are interested in the day it is served. Whether it arrives by hand at 12:01am, or 4:29pm, or for that matter 4:31pm the previous working day, it is served that day and they are all equivalent....

No later than every 5 years, or such shorter time as specified in the most recent report.

These are all good reasons that should be used when discussing on what a tenant is paying for, and why landlords deserve to make a profit from their chosen line of business. My point is, mortgage payment is not, or at least won't get you very far with a lot of people....

That doesn't help landlord's arguments or perceptions. So the tenant are paying for you to own this house, and they get what from that?...

What does the tenancy agreement say if anything about how notice may be given and when it is deemed served?

[KTC]

Not unless you travel back in time if you're in England.

No section 21 notice in the first 4 months of the first tenancy since 1 October 2015.

There is no loss arising from the contract. The contract is for a fixed term tenancy of X long. The tenant have no liability beyond the terms of that tenancy. In any case, it is also almost certainly unfair under consumer laws, which would render it void....
