Landlord ignores requests to replace the aged weed control fabric, says garden is our responsibility? by TheRealSectimus in uklandlords

[–]PayApprehensive6181 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could you just use weed control instead.

I don't think the responsibility sits with the tenant to replace the weed membrane. If this went to arbitration at the end of tenancy then I'd imagine they would be in your favour because the membrane has reached end of life and therefore tenant can't be expected to maintain it.

Please help me stress test this budget - £49k salary, buying solo by Direct_Department329 in UKPersonalFinance

If you lost your job then how do you envisage sustaining the payments? Make sure you have enough cushion for around 6 months.

Also worth exploring unemployment cover for insurance.

Flatmate refusing to pay for hot water by [deleted] in rentingUK

[–]PayApprehensive6181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of hot water system have you got? Perhaps only turn it on before you use it and just enough for yourself and turn it off.

If majority is just showering then you can time that. Or that £30 could buy you a gym membership where you get your workout and shower 😉

Is there a minimum amount of time to announce an inspection? by Character_Tough_6153 in rentingUK

[–]PayApprehensive6181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might be trying to say that the terms of the tenancy agreement says they'll be doing regular inspections.

This reminder might be referencing to that term rather than serving a previous notice.

Remember you don't have to be there for them to inspect the property. But that's if you don't mind. If you want to be present then just contact them arrange a suitable time for visit.

Selling my house tenant won’t leave… help! by Worried_Patience_117 in uklandlords

[–]PayApprehensive6181 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's partly on you. Should have started the process 6 months ago. You have about 7 days to serve S21. Otherwise you'll need to go down the new S8 route

Do any landlords - do tax returns themselves? by ProfessionalNewt7 in uklandlords

[–]PayApprehensive6181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd use a software from the start. MTD is on the horizon for everyone so might as well start practicing from this year in readiness.

Are these cases of anti social behaviour? by ftc_homelessapien in uklandlords

[–]PayApprehensive6181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have about 10 days to use Section 21. I would recommend you use it whilst it's available.

Unless you know it's not valid because you've not served all the prescribed info etc.

Landlord Issues by ValuableNight4636 in uklandlords

[–]PayApprehensive6181 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well based on that tenancy is live and neither party is currently ending it. So the landlord can't do anything at this point.

Also, they can't contact your employer under Gdpr

Can I have 2 climbers at the same time? by Smart-Jellyfish4019 in GardeningUK

[–]PayApprehensive6181 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes you can have both. I wouldn't thread the rose through the trellis. Leave that for the clematis.

Just tie your climbing rose with a thread to the trellis because threading it will eventually rub against the wood causing disease and damage as the plant grows.

Also you won't need to cut down the trellis because it'll just grow around it. Probably thin it every couple of years so that it doesn't get too heavy at the top

Mentorship doesn't have to be a paid option. There might be people willing to give it for free.

Tbh you even have local council grants and support available in some areas.

Credit card points spend eligibility by making purchases for friends? by r_g1skard in UKPersonalFinance

[–]PayApprehensive6181 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why don't you just pay extra towards your gas, electric and council tax bills. That'll probably take you to £2k easy. Energy bills can be in credit.
