Oil leak & deposit return

[bzwolden34]

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...

I would be very grateful for some guidance re. a letter before action I will be sending to my former landlord in relation to an unprotected deposit.

First of all, I have already confirmed the deposit was unprotected for the whole duration of the tenancy (8 months, break clause exercised...

Hi

My tenants have left the property they were in for 5 years. There is considerable damage to walls, floors etc. and piles of rubbish. They are also have rent arrears for £1500.

There is a guarantor in place so I am reasonably confident that I will get my costs and the rent...

Afternoon all,

After 2 years in a property, our landlady has now turned quite nasty and is demanding (what I feel are) excessive 'damage' costs.

The biggest one I am concerned about:

*£300 for a 'proportion' of the entire flat being repainted, in order to cover...

Hi

I ve been lucky to have had the same tenants since 2008. A 1 year contract was entered into in 2008 and then it just continued until 2012 when another contract was entered into.

For one reason or another the deposit was not put into DPS etc, but in 2012 it was and has...

Hi there! Apologies for the rookie thread here and thanks for your patience. I am about to rent out a two-bed property, having previously used a big-ticket letting agent. What I'm finding hard to navigate is where to place our tenants' deposit. I've read bad reviews of the custodial DPS and am struggling...

Hello,

I have a bit of a complicated situation. I am subletting a room from a mesne tenant that rented the whole property.

We signed an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement which I now understand is unusual as the mesne tenant has also been living in the property and ASTs...

Dear All - yet another post on deposits and s21. My tenant has been in arrears of £2,500 - £4,000 for much of his tenancy (which started September 2016), lied in his references and has been lying about various attempts to pay money by bank transfer. I discovered he did it all and worse in his previous...

Hi there,
I hope someone who has similar experience can shed light to my situation.
My AST was signed with a tenant early this year. 6 months down the road, she texted to say that she needed to flee to a women shelter due to domestic abuse. Seeing that, I agreed to look for replacement...

I'm in trouble because the new landlord claims the old agent is responsible for the deposit, while the old agent says they aren't.

A company bought a property with tenants in situ. Funds were paid on 20th Apr. On 25th Apr. a solicitor representing the new LL sends a letter stating that...

Hi.

Following a hassle free 9 month tenancy, my tenant asked me to renew the kitchen in my house, and offered to make a contribution towards the purchase of it.

I didn't really want to renew the kitchen at that time as although it was a little dated, it was still in perfectly...

We had a tenant for a year, him and his wife split and he moved out into our buy to let. After a year they asked if they could swap over - that way she would get housing benefit. We agreed. But, the husband was happy to leave his deposit in the scheme for the (now) benefit of his wife. It is still...
