Hello, forum.

We increased the rent by issuing s13 notice and the T called us saying that she disagrees. Not sure if she will be paying the new rent or not, and my husband didn't ask. We decided to write her a letter (below). Could you please tell me what you think?

Also, do...

Hello all. Can a leaseholder occupy, ie put a gate across with a " no trespassing" sign, and segregate as her own, the end of a passageway, which is clearly expressed as retained to the Landlord. The sign was put up to specifically bar the Landlord from entry, as she had paid to replace the...

Hi all,

I had a look through past topics but struggled to find anything that quite covered it. Hope this is OK to post.

My tenant had an oil leak on the drive during lockdown 2020 which ended up in quite a sizeable and deep stain. I never saw the original stain myself but was...

My upstair's neighbour's lease requires him to provide "carpets, or such other suitable floor coverings" and also has a "nuisance" clause. He has had his flat tiled. I am now being driven nuts by noise from above: something as innocent as a chair being moved is torturing me, and...

Hi all,

My tenants moved into my property last April and sadly have always been tricky.
Long story short the most recent problem has been my consent to let. After serving section 21 in February 2021 the tenants have gone through everything with a fine tooth comb to see if I have made...
