Hi there,

I am new to this forum.

Our family moved in to a housing association property around 24 years ago. We were given assured tenancy. Our tenancy states Mr and Mrs “xxxx” and x children as tenants. Tenancy was signed by landlord and my dad. My parents were separated...

Hi,

If a deposit for a tenant has not been protected and the current tenants have now left.
Work needs to be done and they have some discrepancies. The deposit was held in a private bank account.

What happens next if this goes further?

Thanks

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.

Sorry I'm not really sure where to post this but hoping someone can help me navigate.

My estate agency asked for me and my flatmate to hand our keys into our concierge when we leave the flat (sent via email) which is different to our tenancy agreement. I handed my keys...

I am a leaseholder in a block of flats in London. I have recently received a postal letter from our Managing Agent regarding Section 20 works being carried out on our building. This letter appears to be a Notice of Estimates, and references a previous letter, which i presume was a Notice of Intention...

Hi there. I am a tenant and have moved into a property today. The property was listed as inclusive of all white goods, which was one of the big sale points for me. I did a clean of the property when I got the keys. I cleaned the washing machine as it was full of mould in the drawer. When I went to switch...

Hi there,

I've just been given a Section 21 eviction notice by my landlord which I believe is unfair / invalid. However, my situation is complicated and I'm unsure of where I stand/ my rights:

- From Oct 2017 - Sept 2018, the property was rented to a group of 8 tenants on a...

Short story:
1. The tenant (T) served me the notice to quit (NTQ) after I served him the Section 21 (S21) Notice. The NTQ expiry was 2 weeks earlier than the S21 expiry.
2. After several days, T sent the rent up to the NTQ expiry, and wrote he *didn't know* if he will need to stay longer....

Hi,

Just vacated my old property and my landlord is withholding my deposit on the basis that the grass has not been cut. The grass length is just natural growth as I cut it three weeks ago when the weather permitted me to do so. I had my final inspection on 14/08/2018 conducted by the landlords...

We, three out of four flats, collectively purchased the freehold of the property where we live. The non participating leaseholder who owns the basement property has left the flat empty for a year and has not maintained it to a good standard for the last ten years. She has also not paid any service charges...

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...
