Yes unfortunately this tenancy has proved a nightmare with continued problems emerging. I will be pleased to see the back of them. To make things worse I took out rent cover earlier this year and the...

I've discovered that my 'tenant' obtained my property through false pretences and actually took the tenancy so that his partner could move in. He has apparently kept a separate property with the...

Yes I can use section 8 but as they have been clever enough to not get the full 2 months behind i would have to use discretionary grounds and given they have children I doubt a judge would evict them...

I have had bad tenants since March and am evicting as soon as possible as they have nearly 2 months arrears and haven't paid properly since moving in. I let the property unfurnished but left the...

Thanks. I hope so but the woman from the council was adamant his partner can stay and can't be dealt with as a squatter, she then advised me to join the landlord agency ran by the council for advice...

Be careful as not knowing about a joint mortgage seems dodgy, but don't judge all people with a poor credit history. I had to go bankrupt in 2007 after a period of time off work due to depression...

I am in the process of getting rid of my tenant who is almost 2 months behind in rent, though clever enough never to let himself fall exactly 2 months behind despite never paying properly since...

Just wanting to know where I stand if a bad tenant, who continues to not keep up to date with clearing his arrears and constantly makes excuses despite running his own business, has now offered to...

thanks for all responses, i have bookmarked the article for future reference but it is useful to know a ccj would likely be used as part of the procedure

Just putting this out there.....someone has suggested to me that given my tenant is earning good money and is a self employed bus driver who is under contract from a bus company that I could seek...

I was hoping that under a Sect 8 that having 2 discretionary terms (ground 11 for being persistently late with rent, then also under Ground 12 'any non-rent obligation of the tenant has been broken...

Do these n5 and n119 forms need to be sent through a solicitor or can a landlord complete and send these? Would the landlord then need to get a date from the local mags court?

Apart from falling behind with rent consistently my tenant has got a dog (I know this because they were stupid enough not to put privacy settings on Facebook and had pictures and conversations about...

Thanks, that's what i've been advised elsewhere. am hoping my landlord insurance will cover my problem. Thankfully i'm not two months out of pocket but hopefully it won't get to that point! I need to...

My tenants moved in at the end of March and have not paid their rent on time ever since, it is always late and rarely in full. Although both adults were meant to be on the agreement the letting agent...
