Oh dear. And when you have caused an accident by being negligent in removing the gate and allowing the horses to escape on to the road and you are sued, what will you do then? There are some really stupid posts going on at the moment. Let's just keep to the legal stuff can we?

jpkeates if only it were 75 quid. A man with a gun charges 210 quid plus vat for shooting and cremation in the south east. That was January this year. You are also on very dodgy ground suggesting criminal damage is an acceptable solution. There is grazing still being advertised and livery yards still...

I would reduce by 20 per cent and review after 6 weeks. Personally I have already decided if any of my tenants run into trouble I will write off the owing balance at the end of the year providing they are communicative and engage but won't tell them until the end of the year.

It suits some landlords, particularly those who travel a lot, to have fixed terms. Some ll like the flexibility of periodics. It isn't always just about the money!

There is no restriction in the coronavirus act on moving house....

[Jon66]

Moving house is permitted under the Coronavirus health act.

Providing you take a dated photo of the meter readings at the end or near the end of the tenancy you'll be fine.

Sounds very fair to me.

[Jon66]

Very sensible. We have a place there but have written off going until the autumn. Our friends there say the lockdown is vigorously enforced.

If you have exchanged contracts you have to complete the purchase. The penalty is not just the deposit, you will be liable for all losses. In this environment the losses could be huge, including any loss in value.

She needs to take it higher up. Local councillors are rather good at this, as are mps, but I rather think they have their hands full at the moment.

Whether he chooses to take legal action is not something you can control but given the information you give is correct he would lose. From what you say he is not in the right frame of mind to take action. Do you not have details of his account from rent payments? Can you send a cheque?

[Jon66]

The question is was the entry unlawful. The tenant did not say the ll could not enter. Therefore how could it be unlawful? Yes it is poor practice.

[Jon66]

No, no and no.

[Jon66]

Yes it was lawful unless you unambiguously said they could not enter.

If you contacted the agents only today, then it might be a little impatient to expect a response today. Ask the agents for the landlord's insurance details when and if you get a response. Use a letter rather than a telephone call, they are taken more seriously....

Who is your landlord? Is this a private rental?
