Broken Boiler

[Pidge]

Hello everyone. I’m a tenant in a very old house. Our boiler broke on Saturday night and I notified our landlady on Sunday morning. There was water pouring all over my things so I switched off the mains. The landlady loaned us some electric heaters but couldn’t get anyone round until Monday morning....

Hi all!

Looking for some advise here. So I am renting in a student flat where I only live with one more person. Earlier when I was cleaning the glass stove top the glass cracked in 2 places. (Attached below) It happened when I applied some pressure with a sponge while cleaning it in the...

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...

Hi, I don’t know why but my previous post was unapproved. SO let me repost this topic.

I just exchanged the contact for a leasehold property. The freeholder’s agent is {Name removed}.


My lease requires freeholder’s consent for keeping a pet. I have a cat and need consent...

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...

I have recently acquired the freehold to my block. It's slightly unusual in that it's one of many buildings within a development and the freeholder of the wider estate has imposed a restrictive covenant prohibiting pets. Myself and my wife feel particularly strongly about this and are interested to...

Has anyone used one of these leases? I own a property which contains a shop and I want to issue this straightforward short lease to my tenant but I need some advice. RICS have no guidance notes, the solicitor I spoke to has never heard of it and a surveyor I spoke to advised me to just do it myself....

Hi all

new landlord here so apologies for the question or laughable mistake I’ve made.

I have recently signed a tenancy agreement and stupidly run a credit check after. The Tennant has precious CCjs and a high risk score.

Is there anyway I can get out of the...

They are constantly ignoring my request to access the...

Hello,

I moved out of a student flat on the 09/06/2020 (the tenancy was ending on the 16/06/2020 but I decided to move out a week early due to the whole COVID situation, and the landlord agreed for me to do so). On the final day, the landlord came to check the condition of the property...
