Unregistered landlord?

[saturnspy]

Hi everyone
I'm moving down to Norwich soon. A friend is viewing a studio apartment for me. I just did some searching online and found out the landlord and that specific property doesn't seem to be registered, however I'm quite pressed for time and was planning to secure the studio if the viewing...

Hello,

I gave my estate agent my notice to end my tenancy on the 1st June. My agreement states I need to give two full months notice, and I'll honour this. My agreement also states that when a tenancy is periodic (as mine now is) the notice will end on the day before a Rent Due Date, meaning...

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...

Hi all

I just wanted to ask - if I tenant was overpaid or claiming fraudulently in some way... would the council or universal credit ever try to claim back the money from the landlord?

I heard that sometimes they might but my understanding is that this is only if I knew...

Hi, forum. A bit of a backstory.

We have a tenant who moved in only on condition that she pays 50% of deposit. We accepted. Later we found out that she hasn't paid her council tax for 6 months (we had registered her with City Council, so it was a good try).

From January she...

Hi,

I have a question for a situation that I find myself in.

I’ve just moved out of a rented room in a house share. I gave my notice on the 29th of January 2021 and moved out by the 26th of March 2021. My rent is paid on the 26th of each month.

The contract states...

I have read some really useful threads on this forum, and wanted to share my current situation to both help, and learn from, others.

My Tenant stopped paying rent shortly after the first lockdown. In addition pre-existing arrears, the total is now >12month rent. In addition, my Tenant...

I found a new tenant to takeover my AST three months into a six month fixed term.

The landlord (agents) accepted this via email. I moved out and the new tenant moved on the arranged date, but we didn't sign anything.

Is there any way this could come back to bite me, say if...

LL claims I owe rent for a tenancy which ended three years ago.
However, Section 17 of Landlord and Tenants (Covenants) Act 1995 says a tenant won't be liable to pay unless the landlord serves them with a notice within six months of the missed payment, stating the charge is due.
Does this...

Good Evening All,

Normally I would send this question to the Accountant but he is away on a family emergency so didn't really want to ask him this now as it's not mega urgent.

I am renting Property through a LTD Company and my Accountant said that each Director of the LTD Company...
