Hi I cannot suggest anything further, my suggestion is don't send a letter but you keep wanting to.

Look at the comments by nreid above then decide if your tenants are really that bad or they are still trying.

All the best

I heard although not sure if it's a myth that taking the mortgage holiday will mean you won't meet the criteria of a remortgage from various other lenders. Yes the government suggested it would not cause bad credit, but I heard that lenders were adding a question, "have you taken a payment holiday"...

[Stew]

ask yourself why would they want a new tenancy, they have one,, the AST rolled to a periodic, if I were them I would have no interest in signing a new tenancy it is not to their advantage?

Why do you think they would want a new tenancy?

Separate the rent from the repairs they...

[Stew]

While I understand you want to get it all out there it's too much,,,, you are attempting to go from the bottom to the top of a mountain in one go.....

It actually looks like they are trying to pay... by that I mean three payments in one month sometimes,,, they don't sound like the rent...

[Stew]

they were doing the service at the same time as the CP12 but they will not come out separately for the service. If this was a boiler in your own personal house so no need for a CP12 you would need to take that up with the boiler manufacturer.

But I expect they would say the same as HSE,...

Agreed

As far as I understand no extra consent is needed, just precautions, sounds like your electrician is just trying to make sure he does not get refused entry at the door wasting his time. The person I use did a covid awareness course and I sent that cert on in advance. I don't think...

[Stew]

Agree with Hudson,,,, most agents will not want to take it on for the percentage of the non existent rent they will get,,,,

You mention

SSD1000 I've been a landlord for a few years now and self manage, I do my own repairs, viewings etc and it's a balancing act to keep things moving along smoothly.

People are making valid suggestions on here like EICR's etc and you think from a quick google that you know the answer, but...

The challenge I see is that you are worried about the legal process of getting them out when other things are out of shape with the property.

It's no good saying "I have even said I may sell the property therefore may need to give them notice in August 2020 and they did not like it...

[Stew]

I think if at stage 1

"The process seems overwhelming and she doesn't want to deal with that, not now anyway. Maybe in a year or two."

Then the best thing to do would probably put the property in auction, sell it and walk away.

Either that or pass it...

There is an email address to send in comments you don't have to make do with adding comments to a facebook page.

I would suggest you send a formal email, as comments can easily be removed.

Hope that helps

Sorry to say this but you sound in a real muddle, weeds and a window problem should have a taken a couple of weeks to resolve, it sounds like you have taken a long time to do a few small jobs, I may be misreading your comments though.

In terms of money owned they are not that far befind...

When was the place inspected during the tenancy? you will need to show that you also took adequate care. I expect you will need to claim on your insurance. I think you might have a claim on the agent if they were meant to inspect as regular intervals but really it will depend on how obvious the damage...

[Stew]

Given that you are asking them to leave rather than it being themselves that gave the notice, especially if vunerable I'd let they stay for the duration of the lockdown. It's probably better to enquire what their arrangements are for where they are going and work around that.

If the place...

JK0,

Don't take notice of the website, it's much easier to call them to arrange, when I did that in the last lockdown I had my choice of dates and times as the engineers were only doing the CP12's and not other servicing work etc....

All the best

[Stew]

BG did an inspection for me during the last lockdown, they continued to do all CP12's and at the same time did any service tasks..

What they would not do is come out to a Service if it was not part of the Gas Safe CP12

The HSE advised last time to arrange the check up to 2...

My local takeaway refuses anything except cash!!!!!

[Stew]

Propertygoesup,

It all depends on what type of lock it is and what the tenant does on the other side, if it's a cheaper UPVC one they can bump it open

If it's old yale they can probably slide it open unless snibbed

If it's a mortice they will try and pick it,...

[Stew]

It's a FI not an F1 fyi

Move to someone new, if the guy was there two days he had plenty of time to investigate and not record FI's (in my view), how long would it take to investigate all the FI's ?? anyone knows......

Extension lead even if not fitted will be classed as a...

[Stew]

Forgot to ask why have you not repaired the heating and hot water yet and how long has it been out of service for?

All the best...
