Section 21, Lockdown & Harassment from Landlord

[RENTINGAHOUSE]

I wonder if anyone on here could give me advice please? I've sought advice previously as our landlord tried to give notice during the first lockdown and has persisted in trying to get us to leave. In brief, 12 months AST ended in April, we did not sign a new contract and so entered into a periodic rolling...

Hello

I'm a long time lurker and have tried to read through all the relevant threads, but apologies if this is going over old ground.

I bought a flat in 2005, in a small converted block. Pretty soon we had issues with the freeholder doing very little to keep the property in...

Hi there - my tenant has asked for timers to be fitted to the electric heaters. He says it’s inhumane not to have timers and is “freezing for 90mins every morning.” I know this not to be true as I lived in the flat for 8 years. I’ve advised (via agent) to leave one heater on very low all night,...

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question about my rights as a tenant. We had a 50" TV that came with the property when we moved in 1.5 years ago. The TV stopped working through no fault of our own a week ago. We told our letting agents, they made no attempt to fix the TV and told us that...

First-time poster, please make allowances if I get it wrong.

I own a small piece of land on which I have planning approval for houses. The original planning application erroneously showed the access road crossing council owned land. To change this I intended to make a planning variation...

Another day, another shared freeholder issue!
I share freehold on an old Victorian building that was divided into two - Bottom floor and top floor. As owner of the top floor we have a balcony, but the support posts of the balcony lie in downstairs courtyard. Said balcony needs replacing - it's...

I am a leaseholder. Could someone please advise where to find a sample FTT submission for lease extension? The Freeholder is refusing to agree terms even though I have offered him what he is asking just to get it done. His solicitor is unhelpful in helping to get a sensible answer so I’ve applied...

Rented property.
Our landlord offered to pay for our fence to be painted brown. We wanted to change the colour to grey, so they asked if we could buy the paint and they'd pay for labour. We bought paint, their family friend came to paint the fence, did one panel, and then walked off the job because...

Hi all,
Our managing agent has included a cost in last year's service charge for buying a stock of keys so that future tenants can buy them from the agent instead of the actual supplier.

I maintain that this is trading and it is an inappropriate use of service charge funds since I...

We (joint tenants) moved out of the property in September last year. We had issues with the deposit return as the landlord gave us a whole list of issues he had with the condition we left the property in. He refused to tell us how much he wished to deduct from our deposit, and insisted that we agree...

Hi All, I could really use some guidance in a matter relating to the above. We were told by our agency handling our property that we needed to obtain a licence through the council. I did my research and asked all the relevant questions and found out that the licence will cost 650 for five years. Sounds...

I'm sure that everyone is facing their fair share of challenges at the moment, but i was hoping to get some advice form this forum with regards to a tenant that has absconded.

To caveat, i'm an accidental landlord so letting is not an industry i have gone into with a view to making extra...

Can a tenant make a claim against a landlord for not doing repairs during the covid pandemic?

Hi,

I entered into a joint AST for a six month term that will end on 20 May 2020. Although there is no contractual notice period (nor do I need to serve one for the end of the term), I notified the landlord and the letting agent in January that I will not be remaining at the premises. With...

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and fairly new as a landlord myself I would really appreciate any advice from people that have more experience than me.

I bought a house as a BTL last year and I've really struggled to rent the place out, the house itself is in fantastic and perfect...
