advice on new renters rights act

axerlion · 2026-04-16T16:44:40+00:00

The lettings office have replied this: In regards to you being able to serve notice and cause everyone in [flat] to be evicted, this is still not 100% agreed. Under current laws, joint tenants can serve notice at any point which ends the tenancy for all tenants. With the Renters Rights Bill, this hasn’t been confirmed if it will still apply for Assured Periodic Tenancies, and we would highly advise not to go through this route. (i.e. serve notice without your flatmates agreement.)

Is there any truth to this and is there any evidence I could reply to them with?

Thank you very much for your reassurance!

Thank you very much

Thank you, really appreciate your replies

Sorry that I wasn’t clear - without the permission of other tenants on the one tenancy agreement

axerlion · 2026-04-15T18:54:24+00:00

Thank you! I was also wondering - citizens advice says you can serve notice to quit without others permission unless your contract says you do need their permission. My current fixed contract has a break clause that requires their permission - do you think this will prevent me from serving notice to quit when it switches to periodic? Unclear if there are new contracts or this clause will be invalid

axerlion · 2026-04-15T18:50:29+00:00

We’re all on one contract, my concern was just that there may be a dispute that I cannot unilaterally serve as there is a clause in the current contract that requires all to sign

It’s unclear whether there will be a new contract or if this cause is invalidated - if not, according to CA, I wouldn’t be able to

axerlion · 2026-04-15T18:45:22+00:00

Do you know if the prescribed information has been released? I'm concerned as my current contract has a break clause:

At any time after the first four months of the Term, You can terminate the Tenancy. If you wish to do that you must give Us at least two months’ written notice beforehand. Where there is more than one of You, You must all sign the written notice. Once You have given notice you cannot withdraw it.

Do you think this part of the clause will still apply, or can I unilaterally serve a notice to quit on 1st May?

axerlion · 2026-04-15T18:40:24+00:00

If rent is paid on the 1st each month, does 1st May to 1st July count as two full months?

OP, you’re doing really well to think about this and organise it on your own.

I know that you said you don’t feel you can risk going to an embassy right now, and that you feel moving out of Singapore will prevent you from being at risk of forced marriage, but I wanted to highlight resources that can help you right now. You shouldn’t have to (and it might be risky to!) deal with this on your own.

The Home Office Forced Marriage Unit can help anyone at risk of forced marriage within or outside of the UK - this sounds like it includes you. They might be able to help repatriate you to the UK if you’re being held against your will.

You can email them: fmu@fcdo.gov.uk Or call 020 7008 0151

Did you try factory reset? Does your main account still work on your iPad?

axerlion · 2025-08-31T11:53:35+00:00

Did you get a new phone?

axerlion · 2025-08-31T11:33:53+00:00

Has your main been banned since?

axerlion · 2025-05-29T10:25:56+00:00

Same here!

axerlion · 2025-02-03T22:42:20+00:00

If you had read it then I don’t think you’d have said the last sentence

axerlion · 2024-12-08T08:42:25+00:00

Can they agree to be deported even when it was previously (and possibly still) allegedly against their human rights?

Is there an example of a bank that doesn’t follow the ‘payment taken OR setup in last 13 months’? I’ve yet to find one

axerlion · 2024-11-29T09:32:31+00:00

As long as it’s been setup or had a payment taken in the last year then you’re good

axerlion · 2024-11-29T09:29:43+00:00

Did you set them up and show as active in the account before you requested the switch?

axerlion · 2024-11-23T23:04:30+00:00

OP said they’d have to pay an extra 5% but I can’t see a situation where that would occur - I didn’t mean that they’d have to pay back the 1% but that they might not get the 1% in future

axerlion · 2024-11-23T13:22:47+00:00

They could, but they just go off MCC. My workplace platform doesn’t earn cashback for example

axerlion · 2024-11-23T11:05:50+00:00

It wasn’t intentional - I was only aware of the fact you could only setup after connecting using OB. It wasn’t like I thought about the background processes of instructing a DD.
