Commercial lease with 'date of lease' date later than actual lease start date.

[Bobby Bakshi]

Hi, I have a lease for an old tenant that did not pay me any rent. I have now found the lease some years on (5 years on) and the dated lease date is in August 2013 and the lease started in January 2013. Does this now make the lease defective and therefore I am not able to make a claim against the company...

Hi,

I have been a tenant in a flat for the past 3 years and have recently moved out. Over the past 3 years my landlord has sent me an expense sheet to pay which included a fee to protect the deposit I gave them. I was always dubious about this because I thought it was free. I paid it none...

Hi all, forgive me if this is long winded but it's a strange tale and I would like you have the facts.
Firstly, I am a tenant not a landlord but I am trying to get him some advice. I moved into an apartment with my 2 boys last April surprisingly easy- the agents did not require credit checks or...

Hello,

I have just been hit with news that my tenancy agreement requires me to give two months' notice - I assumed it would be one and I am desperate for it to be one to be honest as myself and partner have split. The tenancy manager has said to me "You have a two month rolling notice...

Hello,

Very much appreciate your views on the below issue.

The concise question is:

At the end of an AST contract, can the landlord undertake simultaneously a tenant swap and a contract extension against the written wishes of outgoing tenants, and retain the...

Theres a clause in my contract that I'm unsure how to interpret. It is as follows:

"Not to fix or hang any posters, pictures, photographs or ornaments to the walls or ceilings or woodwork with nails, glue, sticky tape, blu-tac or similar adhesive fixings other...

Hi, I'm a new-ish landlord

I have an AST which is due to end and have agreed with the tenant another period of 12 months with 6 month break (as before), but with a slight increase in rent.

Do we need to all sign another tenancy agreement (which includes a guarantor and witness...

Hi,

I recently bought a flat and within 2 months of getting the keys, I was served a notice for payment for the first stage of major works (work needed to the outside of the building)- to the tune of £12.5k. The management company sent me letters that they had sent the seller two years...

Hello everyone . I'm writing in here as we have a flatmate who is causing annoyance in the shared house where we live. This person and us had several arguments using strong words and impolite behaviour. He got an anger problem and one day it was even close to fight with me. He's smokes in the house...
