Long term tenant no lease in place landlords options / rights

[Floatingcity]

I have recently become a joint owner of a commercial property and find myself with a tenant that has been on the site for 70+ years. They have no lease and carried out very little repair or maintenance to the property over the last 30 years. Originally the land owners were also the business owners so...

I have an AST which is due to end and have agreed with the tenant another period of 12 months with 6 month break (as before), but with a slight increase in rent.

Hi all,

I'm a tenant who has been living in a property for almost 2 years now, due to lack of options when renewal time came around.

I have a more unusual question as most often the issue that arises is that of tenants not paying their rent. My old tenant moved out at the end of July with no problems and my Agent closed the contract. However, he then paid August's rent by standing order (in error) after the end of the tenancy and...

We rented our property last year, and had a tenant that didn't pay rent for the last 6 months of his tenancy.
He cited health issues, but was clearly seen with a new car, and waltzing around dumping furniture that he didn't need
