Here is the scenario. 4 in a block flats, I rent out a top floor flat. The lady who lives below maintains that water has been coming from my flat for a year or 2 and is running into the cavity of the building causing damp in her flat.

Hi,

I'm a newbie landlord. I let my mother's flat (after she moved into care) to a couple and their baby daughter this spring.

Hi guys, I'm not sure if you can help me with this one but I'm hoping you can.

I recently moved into my new house on the 2nd of October. There were a couple of issues that needed sorting which the agent was fairly quick to do. The pump wasn't working on the boiler (hot water worked but...
