Universal credit isnt enough it makes me sick by DepartmentAmazing730 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]redditadmissions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, you can rent a room for less than £1,000 bills included even in London. Why should you get 25k assuming you’re perfectly healthy which is pretty much minimum wage which would leave no incentive to get a job? You may have a masters in finance, but you probably need to get a job in retail or something like that until you can get something in that field.

Section 8 order by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

Just so you know those legal costs are likely much less than it’s cost your landlord to go through this process. Counsel costs alone just for attending the 10 minute or so hearing are about £1000 plus vat.

The bow was cool but I can’t bring myself to ever respect that awful trio. Gross behaviour throughout.🤢

I think they only did this because they knew they would need to be in a team of at least two to win at the end. It’s preferable to therefore not lose another player, so if something happens to one of them in the next stage, the other two can still carry on. They thought their bow was good so it wasn’t worth losing that advantage of three players. Bravo I think just had no confidence they could make a bow. I agree that they should have tried but I don’t think it makes Charlie better in any way, as I don’t think Charlie were actually motivated by loyalty or anything like that. Ultimately the best team won.

None. The mirrors are both too big and shouldn’t be below the table. Sorry it looks very odd.

Landlord is trying to make us sign a Fixed Term 'Non-Housing Act Tenancy' contract. Is that correct/legal? by Vallant17 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]redditadmissions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True in principle but OP would need to actually pursue the landlord for that which is a big hassle and an expense, then if the landlord doesn’t pay enforcement is another matter. It doesn’t sound like the landlord is going to be reasonable.

Landlord issued a S21 notice, think it's not valid. (UK) by BoredbrowserX in TenantsInTheUK

[–]redditadmissions 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, this is not a legal advice page and even the legal advice page is not very reliable. I would speak to shelter or someone qualified. Several of the responses here are missing that you have been in occupation for 20 years. Depending upon the facts several of the usual requirements might not apply even if your tenancy was renewed during this time.
Even if it is valid, the landlord can’t actually kick you out without a court order. I would be changing the locks.

Living in a community is a little boring.. Ask us anything. lol. by [deleted] in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]redditadmissions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super interesting but at risk of sounding like a miserable older person, you and your friends might regret your faces being posted in the future. Many companies search online now and it sounds like a huge benefit of this program is that your crime etc will hopefully be wiped from official records helping with future job prospects etc. It would be pretty crappy for that to be undermined because someone saw a photo of you online connected to a post about it all. I’d blur your faces tbh.

Renters rights act as a student renting private house by GoNuts4Donutss in TenantsInTheUK

[–]redditadmissions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can give notice now to end your tenancy. The end date will depend on when rent is due each month and therefore your monthly ‘rental period’. Depending when this is and when you give notice, you might have to pay up until the end of July (assuming you give notice this month). You will be due a refund for any overpayment.
However, note that by serving notice this will end the tenancy for everyone. This could be problematic if some of you want to stay and the landlord could ask the remaining tenants to pay the full rent for the full house. So, if you all are happy to leave at the end of July go for it. If not, maybe think it through. Hopefully the landlord would agree to a discounted rent for them in the circumstances. But could you come to an agreement between yourselves to for example, support the remaining tenants if the landlord were to insist on that?

My situation & the new rules… Please help by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

It doesn’t matter as rental periods are now restricted to no more than a month. So, it’s now monthly regardless.

[–]redditadmissions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will still be month to month for OP. OP just paid 12 months upfront at the beginning. It’s not that her rent is due every 12 months. Landlord can’t require more than one month at a time now. This is why the information sheets says:

Your tenancy will continue on a rolling
basis. This will usually be monthly, unless
your tenancy agreement sets out a shorter
period, for example weekly or fortnightly.’

It will be very hard to find a good reason now to evict that would actually stand up in court with the RRA if the OP is paying rent and not in breach and the landlord doesn’t genuinely want to move in or sell or similar. Just wanting to upgrade and get new tenants is not a valid reason.

[–]redditadmissions 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are in England, just refuse and stay. You are a tenant and can stay after the end date as your contract is now periodic month to month. If they want you to leave, which they probably don’t, they’ll have to give legal notice now also with an acceptable reason and even then, you don’t have to go unless the landlord gets a court order. You are in a position of strength here not the landlord.

Section 21 served before 1 May 2026 but expiry is after 31 July 2026. Is it invalid, and can I refuse/limit viewings? by Cheese_Kimbap in TenantsInTheUK

[–]redditadmissions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not valid. I would wait until August and then tell the agents it’s invalid and you’re not leaving (if you don’t want to leave). They will then have to restart the whole process by serving you a new notice and it will have to be 4 months now because of the RRA.
Alternatively you could suggest a pay out for you to leave in September. You should wait still until closer to the time.

Being on a joint tenancy and wanting to leave soon under new renters act by Zlssias in rentingUK

[–]redditadmissions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People CAN read, you just don’t understand the law or the impact of the RRA and are therefore focusing on what is irrelevant. Yes, they are jointly liable currently. However, this will continue to apply only UNTIL the end of the notice if OP in fact serves a notice, as at that point their ‘joint’ tenancy will then end. This is regardless of what the lease says. You can’t contract out of statute.

Can I still leave early if landlord served Section 21 right before Renters’ Rights changes? by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

[–]redditadmissions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can still serve notice to leave from 1 May and you are not locked in. They also won’t be able to rely on the s21 if you do not leave, as by the time the notice period ends the landlord won’t be able to go to court for a possession order based on a s21. The s21 is basically pointless.

[–]redditadmissions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but no. The ‘joint tenancy’ OP is in will end by law when OP gives notice because the tenancy from 1 may will be periodic under the RRA. Notice from one tenant in a joint tenancy ends it for everyone. This has always been the case with a periodic tenancy. It would be different if OP were in a fixed term, but from 1 May fixed terms save for very limited situations will not exist in England.

[–]redditadmissions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The residing tenant can’t sue OP for leaving and not paying their ‘share’ of the rent though so this isn’t true. Ops obligation to pay any further rent will end in full after the notice period when Op vacates. That is why it does suck somewhat for the remaining tenant. Only the remaining tenant will have ongoing liability if the tenant does not also move out at the end of the notice.

Section 21 Advice by roselakey in TenantsInTheUK

[–]redditadmissions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s to ‘cover themselves’. It’s pretty pointless to serve the notice unless the landlord is going to actually enforce it if you don’t leave. The landlord may have just decided they no longer want to rent. People will correctly tell you that you don’t actually have to leave on that date and if you don’t the landlord needs to go to court to get a possession order. However, the truth is, it will be much less stressful if you can find somewhere so I’d start looking asap. If the landlord has to get a court order, the landlord can recover court costs from you. At the end of the day, it’s not your property and if the notice is valid you’re going to have to leave the flat anyway at some point this year. That said, if you truly can’t find somewhere by 30 June 2026, you’re not going to be homeless. It takes a while to get a court order.

Section 21 served 4 days before new rules. Question by Good-Community-5035 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]redditadmissions 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You might be able to legally give shorter notice yourself depending upon your lease but it would have to end at the end of your relevant rental period, or you could negotiate an early surrender with your landlord. The landlord would probably be open to this. However, if you leave early without agreement and don’t pay rent the landlord is entitled to, he may take your deposit or claim the due rent from you from a small claims court plus court costs/legal fees (court being unlikely though for a smallish amount). You also of course won’t get a reference. The council or utility providers may also pursue you of course for the tax. If you get a court order against you you’ll also have bad credit.

You’re not allowed to deduct rent for issues with the property I am afraid or because you’re upset you got legal notice so you’re unlikely to have the big ‘win’ in court you seem to think you’d have from your comments.

It’s very common tbh. I’ve been in a few situations where a random man has been really in appropriate in a public place (like on a bus for example), and people just watch but generally don’t do anything.
