Like Hooper said, you have time to get multiple quotes and arrange it done at a time that suits all parties, but other than that I'll do it now rather than later.

I seriously doubt anyone will care if you just take possession and change the locks etc. at this stage.

To take legal action against you, they would have to make themselves known/available and run the risk of being arrested for the grow charge. And if the documents provided are fake, then...

I would suggest that special case doesn't apply to most HMOs. If you're renting a room exclusively while sharing the living room say where the relevant appliance is at, you're still occupying a room with a relevant appliance.

Worth considering is whether the place have any relevant appliance...

Deregulation Act doesn't apply in Wales. It applies to all tenancies including the old ones in England.

6 years from when deposit was paid + 30 days.

It doesn't make much difference to your options, but unless you actually take possession or you executed the tenancy agreement as a deed, I'm not sure the tenancy have actually started mind.

Yes, if the prescribed information was late or details on it incorrect, you can sue and will win...

The council should but in practice wouldn't do anything until you have a date for the bailiffs to arrive to evict her.

Homelessness won't instantly get someone, even if they qualify, a council house. There's a difference between obligation to provide emergency housing and the council house...

Just send them what they ask for. If missing PI comes up as an issue, it'd only because the tenant raised it in defence in which case you can send it in reply.

Most people who rented a place in England before 2015 when many landlords used to attach a section 21 notice alongside with the tenancy agreement when tenant first move in?

Landlords server s21 for all kind of reasons, I don't know what you think whether tenants have ever received one would...

You can't contract out of compliance with the Equalities Act.

[KTC]

Not much of a bargaining chip. Landlord wants possession, landlord can't serve a valid section 21 notice until and unless the deposit is returned less agreed deductions. What deductions would the tenant agree to? They don't have to agree to any rent increase, why would they here....

[KTC]

There's no section 8 ground because the tenant don't agree the rent increase. If it's an informal proposal, then they can just ignore you. If you give a formal notice under s13, then they can take it to tribunal for a determination.

Just return the deposit and then serve the notice again....

[KTC]

Err what?!?

Where do you get the 2nd notice starting from late October from?

[KTC]

Yes you can serve a new shorter one on 1 Oct.

(I haven't checked whether it's positive or negative motion secondary legislation, but either way it's not really something that wouldn't pass. It's going to happen unless the government changes their mind.)

What does the review clause actually say? Every 5 years, it's increased by £10 for example is very different to every 5 years it's increased by 10% compounded.

I'm sorry for your loss OP.



Not just because the landlord have to make a claim, the claim have to had resulted from a breach of the tenancy agreement by the tenant (or their guest). What part of the tenanacy agreement says the tenant cannot be in an emergency such that the...

Rules related to overcrowding. Will depends on the size of the rooms....

Relatives are all one household.

The individual leaseholder are not the company? If the clause merely grant rights to "the company", then that only give first refusal to the company, not its members.

OP said they've always been the one paying the rent....
