I don’t understand why this is even an issue, let alone spending costs on solicitor fee’s and contemplating courts orders.
As I understand it the OP owns the ivy and he owns the wall it is growing up. The OP has a 500 mm pathway to gain access to the ivy and also has access to his...

p.s. do you deal with the landlord direct, or through a lettings agent?...Leave a comment:

Doesn’t change your liability as issue caused by nail in pipe not by type of pipework. From what you say above I would heavily dispute the deductions the landlord seeks. Tell him you have been advised to use the deposit dispute resolution service as the costs he seeks are unreasonable. Let us know...Leave a comment:

For clarity - did the leak only start as you were packing up to leave and so started when you pulled the nail out of the wall? Did you quickly then turn off the water? i.e. not much water damage and no emergency plumber called?
If so, seems very expensive for the plumber as if it...Leave a comment:

This thread is the best thread I have read on here for a while, all the comments show exactly what is wrong with the PRS and government policies. I am almost as excited by this thread as I was when I heard how highly critically acclaimed the Top Gun sequel is....Leave a comment:

Congratulations to jpkeates - 30,000 posts
Almost 30,000 posts! (6 to go at time of posting) Congratulations JPK, superb, and being able to maintain such high quality after all that time is very impressive. I am sure I won’t be alone in passing on my congratulations to you. Looking forward to the next 30,000. I have learnt a lot from your... -
I (as I expect many of us do) sympathise with your predicament, it must be stressful and very frustrating. Unless your mortgage lender will allow you to rent out the house you will not be able to complete unless you are using a crooked solicitor.
If your mortgage lender will allow...Leave a comment:

Do. Not. Exchange. I cannot believe your solicitor hasn’t warned you not to, if they haven’t they need striking off.
All relevant points have been covered above and that advice is all from very experienced landlords.
Buying a new house to live in is supposed to be an exciting...Leave a comment:

As others say above - probably not worth the bother with the deposit. However, if there are other issues with the property that you want to claim for you can then use it as a trade off during any (non-tribunal) negotiations. I would still be a bit annoyed as the fault with yours could have been...Leave a comment:

Even with the S21 as it is now this has always been my approach since learning the very hard way once (once was enough). So, any S21 changes will not impact me much and I have only used one once in over 20 years. I agree that in many cases 2 months notice is too short for an S21 and it cannot be...Leave a comment:

From this and previous posts on other threads by the OP this tenant is a landlords’ nightmare. Either that or it is troll. I suggest anyone considering helping the OP reads all the OP’s previous posts before wasting time helping someone like this. The OP will be back again in another 6 months...Leave a comment:

Key return implications may not be written into tenancy law but if a landlord suspects abandonment return of keys is a cast iron indicator that the tenant has moved out and does not plan to return. That’s not strictly relevant to this post but in general, without return of keys, if the tenant has...Leave a comment:

Your earlier posts, somewhat frustratingly, do not make reference to this ‘friendship’ and your later statement that you are close friends but don’t hang out together is confusing, as is the fact that you talk about this person as if they are someone you would never willingly spend any time...Leave a comment:

An admin fee on an admin fee. Priceless (but I just died a little more inside). Only an estate agent, or a solicitor, could dream up that one.
Doomed, we are, all doomed....Leave a comment:

Playing Devil’s advocate a bit, but….
No one would be making the tenant sign the settlement agreement under any form of duress, they would be acting in their own free will and would have been free to seek legal advice before doing so. I also feel that the fact that the tenant would...Leave a comment:

Am I missing something here?
Tenant has paid rent and bills up to May 22nd when the fixed term ends (so no notice period needed) and tenant wants to effectively end the tenancy on 3rd May. Most landlords will not have an issue as they can have access to the house and start the re-letting...Leave a comment:

One for the Legal Eagles to ponder……………What about if the landlord said to the tenant something like, and got agreement in writing, “I am prepared to return the full deposit to you now if you agree that by returning it, it is in full and final settlement of all matters relating to the deposit,...Leave a comment:

I do about a 45 to 60 second video of each room. I then use video reduction software (no visible loss of quality) and email it to the tenant to agree and add any comments. I also take a few photos of any specific areas. I know written notes as well are supposed to best, but I don’t bother anymore...Leave a comment:
