I'm not sure this is right. The magistrate relies totally on the information contained in the application by the police. My point is that there needs to be evidence of some sort that the residents of the flat are linked to the club or vice versa, and that there is reasonable suspicion of criminal activity...

The entitlement to compensation depends upon whether there were reasonable grounds for suspicion that drugs were held on the premises and consequently whether it was reasonable to search the premises.

For example, if the premises below were dealing in drugs, had the police carried out reasonable...

I doubt it's an eviction. The media rarely use the correct term, particularly the rags. Most probably they received a notice seeking possession....

Did you serve a notice before the commencement of the tenancy excluding it from the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 s24 to 28?

[Jon66]

You should also insist on an electrical safety cert, as that will put you on notice as to how much you will need to fork out to remedy it. Could be a lot . . ..

[Jon66]

Stacker then why ask on this forum?...

[Jon66]

No it's called lying....

[Jon66]

Section20z I think the issue is whether you are prepared to lie on the forms. Personally I would unequivocally not lie, but some people don't have that ethical approach....

You could also have a look at the Codes of Practice for Residencial Letting Agencies which is available on the TPO website members area. This is what TPO uses as a guide when adjudicating to assess fairness, and breaches of the code usually result in a positive outcome for the complainant.

The agents were absolute fools to sign up a tenant on a 6 month fixed term when the agreement they have with you is for 12 months. Seems to me they were negligent in the process by doing so.

I would also ask the question why they didn't advise you that if you wanted a long term tenant...

In fact is she even claiming UC for the service charges?...

[Jon66]

Have you looked at having the service charges debited straight from her UC?

It appears to me this is the ideal solution.

Under schedule 9 of the SS (C&P) regs 3rd party deductions could be made when:

Para 5(1)(a) - he or his partner has arrears of rent which...

Because the supermarkets screw farmers so badly, that they can't pay a decent wage to seasonal workers. Employing British workers will result in either huge hikes in the price of food or more farmers packing up or both. Neither are good options for the rest of us. Personally I buy from smaller local...

The issue is the attitude of mortgage providers who are not keen on lending on properties with doubling ground rent clauses. Every 25 years may not be an issue, it depends upon your lender. There may be scope for negotiating with the freeholder before purchase and entering into a deed of variation of...

Why? It's out there for anyone to check . . ....

I think the PRS usually go on 30% of net income and the social sector 40%.

[Jon66]

No they aren't . . .

[Jon66]

I wonder if a better solution might be to secure the debt by way of a mutually agreed charging order. My experience is that postponing the debt is usually fine by the debtor. Then she is starting with a clean slate.

I believe ground rent can be claimed via UC which may help to free up a...

It was dire before covid due to the LASPO....

[Jon66]

Yes quite. Op needs to post that particular clause for determination along with more detail of the issue, however I stand by my post as being correct....
