I was considering the carer, but she sometimes refuses to let the carer in (police had to break the door down) and also I don't think the carer gives a specified time as she does other people. So...

I have written about this before, but one of my tenants has a drink problem (I think)
The last time the gas man came she accused him of molesting her. She also told the police I was harrassing...

So the upshot of this is, because he is within the 6 months, then unless I can prove loss (ie puppy tearing house to shreds) then I am stuffed!

What is the difference between s21 and s8. Does the procedure in eviction vary?
The tenant is on a six month AST. Can I get him out just because he has broken one of the conditions of the tenancy?...

How would you prove that the dog was at the property? They say that the dog is only staying there temporarily (even though the lease prohibits that)
If they say they have not got a dog after that,...

I have just found out one of my tenants has a puppy at one one my properties.
He claims that it is just staying for a while, however, for various reasons, I do not believe him.
I have explained...

Sorry for appearing thick, but does it mean that the house is in a trust if mum has beneficial ownership? Does it mean it is mine at a certain age?
You also said that if I am the legal owner and...

Thanks for these replies.


Yes, now you mention it, there was some talk of that because I was thinking of starting my own business at the time.
We did have two solicitors because the one we...

Thanks for this.
So I will pay capital gains tax, but if mum has to go into a home, it will not be hers?
Does that apply even though we have always regarded as this as mums and dads, and they even...

About 30 years ago when I was living at home my father lost his job and so I purchased their small terraced house from them. I think I paid about £20k for it. They paid their mortgage off, which...

I know, you wouln't want to be her friend would you.
From a tenancy point of view (apart from the CP12) she is ideal.
Pays a year's rent up front. Pays for her own repairs and I just reimburse...

Many thanks for that link Westminster. It is very useful.
Also many thanks for the other replies.
I would just say that I was going to go around with the gas fitter anyway. When she eventually...

I have a tenant who I suspect has mental health problems. She is in her 60s or 70s and has a carer come in every day.
She pays a years rent in advance as her income cannot support the rent so she...

Hi Pete,
Can you point me to where in the property income manuals it says this.
I have been trying to find it but I can't.
Thanks

I have in my lease that professional cleaning is required at the end of each tenancy, the cost to be borne by the tenant.
I am now reading that this may be deemed "unreasonable" Is this right?

Have found the answer now by searching the forums. The answere is no. He does not have to do anything.

My newphew and his friends are renting a propery whilst at university. The house is quite old (turn of the century I think) and the windows have been painted over the years.None of the windows...

One of my tenants moved out leaving the place in a right mess. I took photographs (with a newspaper).
The lease also says that they must, before getting the deposit back, send me receipts for...

Thanks for these replies.
On considering this, I think I may be responsible. However, if I am, what is the position if we disagree re: repairs.
Suppose the top flat owner wants a new roof, and I...

I own the downstairs flat of a pair. The upstairs owner says that the roof needs to be repaired.
As far as I was aware, the roof is the responsibility of the owner upstairs. Is this correct?
If I...

I think you have hit the nail right on the head there. I was thinking the same myself really but did not know whether I was being over cautious.

Thanks

I am currently looking for tenants for a property I own. The flat is empty and I just happened to be at the property this morning when a prospective tenant and his wife came to view. The decorator...

There is a stain where there was a roof leak so I would like it done as soon as possible now that the leak has been repaired and the wall dry.

The lease is a twelve month one and he moves out...

The tenant is also refusing access to view.
The bedrooms where the redecoration will take place are completely empty so there will be no disruption or inconvenience. Even if that were not the case,...

Is that even if the tenancy agreement says that I can have access by giving 24 hours notice.
Also, the TA says that I can show prospective tenants around. Can the tenant refuse to do this?
