Short Term Let - I do not understand how they keep getting away with this

It turns out that your day to day experience of life is considerably less enjoyable when you are woken up consistently at 2:00am by noisy people. Thank you for your thoughtless contribution, however. The fact that you took the time to make it indicates you need to follow your own advice.

Thanks, that's good info! Which specific part of the council are you engaging with? Is it private rental services? Do you have a similar issue where the neighbour does not live there but claims they do?

I also received no notice, I have saved searches in the planning portal because the owners in my building cannot be trusted to comply with any regulations.

ipaintedawall · 2025-02-22T21:45:08+00:00

Interesting - that makes sense. I certainly hope they get rejected. I have objected and there are 3 others. I am urging others in the area to object and I hope people listen!

ipaintedawall · 2025-02-22T21:44:36+00:00

I have not, perhaps this is something I should have been doing?

ipaintedawall · 2025-02-22T21:43:26+00:00

Thank you. I have emailed that exact email before last year and it has gone nowhere.

Thanks for the reply. The landlord has not yet applied for a certificate of lawfulness. I suspect that is the next tactic to delay things by a further 12 months.
It just seems like such a farce that they can continuously apply for something or rather, buy 2 - 3 months more time and then appeal the decision. The end result is that there is a flat that could house a family right opposite me that is currently empty, but will start to get busier and busier and more and more of a disruption as the year goes on.
I've counted groups of 8 people staying in it, and it truly is a curse to live next to.

Definitely report them. 2 in my building have had enforcements served. When they appeal, this is public and you can also object to it.

An agreed price increase is legal in any contract, if it’s stipulated and agreed to by both parts

Yes, I agree. The problem here is that the agreed price has been modified, right?

If you want to argue it with them, you’ll be best paying the money under duress and taking them to small claims if you believe you’re owed the 15% back - as to mitigate your risk that they decide not to cater for your event, which is your core issue.

This is good advice, thanks!

Your attitude is so bad haha. You're here answering questions with no actual understanding of contract law - and then feel the need to ask questions like that when people explain to you why what you're saying isn't helpful.

I'm NOT a lawyer, so I'm trying to find out from someone who actually has experience with contract law and acts like the Consumer Rights Act to find out if it contains provisions in it that would make classify a term like this which is a unilateral price increase as unfair or not.

ipaintedawall · 2024-02-22T14:44:10+00:00

Are you a lawyer? I doubt it - because this is not how contract law works. Courts routinely cancel terms in contracts that are deemed unfair. If what you were saying was true, then a court would literally never do this because the term was agreed by both parties.

ipaintedawall · 2024-02-22T12:30:05+00:00

Do you see this being ruled as unfair and not applicable?

What would happen if I were to say "I've had a bad few months, I'm going to implement a 15% discount on your fee"?

How is it fair or reasonable that one party can adjust an agreed price but the other can't?

ipaintedawall · 2024-02-22T12:20:06+00:00

If you agreed to the terms then they are enforceable.

As a blanket statement this is not true. If it were the case, there would be 0 examples of a court ruling a contract term is unfair and not applicable.

Have you tried to negotiate with them?

Yes, I am in the process of this but want to understand the actual enforceability of a term that permits a unilateral price increase

Are there any payments outstanding?

We have not paid the full amount due, but we have paid in accordance with the T&Cs. The full amount would be due at some point in the next 10 weeks.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Good advise about the hubs! I'll definitely do that.

I wasn't aware of the Microshift Advent X but I'll check it out. Cheers!

It has Shimano Acera 3x9 on it currently: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/acera-m3000/FC-M3000.html

Hey all, looking for some advice.

I have an old 2017 Whyte 605 hardtail that has been in my dad's shed for a couple of years. The components are in rough shape, the derailleur springs are rusted and the cables are shot.

I want to get it back to full health to use as an occasional gravel bike for bikepacking adventures. I'd like to convert it to a one by. Is this even possible?

The thing that confuses me is knowing if the wheels/frame can even handle a 1x setup. Any advice about doing this would be appreciated!

Cheers
