But that bears no relevance to whether the eviction takes place....

It's an unfair contract term. The property should be left in the condition that is dictated by the tenancy agreement. If the property is cleaned to a professional standard that should be fine. I will say though that I have been in after a professional clean and had to continue cleaning so . . ..

Excellent news 😀

. . . and this is exactly why I have concluded the thought of a register of landlords administrated by the LA is horrendous....

[Jon66]

Yes I agree with the above. Make sure you have complied with statutory requirements to ensure any s21 is valid.

Write to them pointing out you are now able to proceed to court and that you intend to do so. That this will incur costs and legal fees, that court judgements of any sort would not reflect well on their mortgage application, that once a possession order has been granted you will incur additional bailiff...

I suspect with the ease at which tests can be taken, with almost immediate results, positive covid tests would be a requirement to defeat a warrant....

Washing machines with drying facilities do not need venting. The problem with them is the majority can only dry half loads. I supply condensing stand alone tumble driers where there is room because they are generally more efficient because they take full loads.

If you are inexperienced I would advise finding a good reputable high street agent, not Fxxxxxx, and place it with them on a tena t find only basis. I know some on here don't think it's such a great idea for numerous reasons, but I'm an experienced professional and know my agents well, and it means...

I was too lazy to get the ironing board out and ironed a shirt on the carpet. That was expensive . . . it was my carpet. I was very young at the time but old enough to know better 🤣.

Agree with a ove, her problem not yours. Leave it and deduct out of the deposit at the end. Tough if...

I find this extremely worrying because I've both worked for local authorities and operated on the other side against them. If I were convinced a landlord register would solve all the issues of rogue landlords I would be all for it BUT the issue is still lack of enforcement of the existing regulations....

[Jon66]

Just to explain, it isn't a small claims action which is why the suggestion has been to engage a legal professional on a no win no fee basis. In fact you can do it on your own. Shelter and the CAB have info on their sites as to how to go about this. Your first thing will be to write a letter before...

My experience when dealing with bankrupts is the cost of seizing the car and putting it into an auction with a low value vehicle isn't worth the hassle, for what will probably only be 300 quid or so. The leverage they can get through seizing the car can make it worthwhile though. Taking their car really...

[Jon66]

But nothing to improve enforcement which is the real issue!

Charlotte163 how did it go?...

You need to start your own thread rather than adding onto a zombie thread.

Have you tried changing the light bulbs?

One of mine complained about ants (and gnats) . . . I pointed her in the direction of antkiller (and Raid).
