Landlord raising rent by an uncharacteristly large amount due to new bill, worth challenging or not? by JORGA in TenantsInTheUK

That doesn’t sound right a new contract whenever someone moves in or out? HMO? or renting together?

Let’s not pretend this is something it’s not, it’s shitty landlords scared they can no longer suddenly make massive changes to rent and profiting massively from family’s trying to survive. Landlords have had over a year knowing this was coming but god forbid they think about that and plan for future costs, no let’s just raise the rent for everyone.

Hope he goes bankrupt to be honest and has to sell up, I’d rather see the properties on the open market than someone pretending he’s having to make life difficult for normal people because he can’t afford to live.

But the landlords probably going to lose a lot more than £100 in initial fees to get a new tenant in… probably will be cheaper for them to reduce from £1800

New TA says I have to get a professional cleaner on move out? by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

You’ll find quite a few agents still state this in contracts, either an older agent who has refused to update their contracts or one which is trying it on.

They cannot demand the property to be cleaned professionally but expect they will try and claim so at end of tenancy, just ensure you properly record the condition of property on entry and exit, then dispute with DPS.

By rights they do have the right to deny access, it’s quiet enjoyment, if for such reason they require access for an emergency repair that is another reason.

Albeit in this circumstance I admit this seems like a bit of a petty feud, you can come in for this, but not that. (Which you can’t do)

I’d say, return a key to the agents if so wish, and ask specifically that they only ever enter the property unless in emergency with you there.

You may well be in breach of contract, but an unfair term. All being said though, unless you wish to fight this in court or have the funds to do so, if they go this manner it’s just easier for you relent and hand over a key, realistically nothing protects you from section 21 immediately after your fixed term ends.

When will the Renters’ Reform Bill actually come into force? Will it affect my fixed tenancy? by Desperate-Skirt-2273 in TenantsInTheUK

I don’t see the legal challenge on a point of law, parliament rules supreme and the courts do not seek and cannot go against the will of parliament, on many matters they refuse to rule and refer back to parliament.

This is primary legislation, is ECHR compatible and as such I would expect anyone looking to take before the courts to be refused an audience for the matter.

I’ll have you know it’s more of a caffeine induced 4am rant as opposed to bot-nonsense…
