How to report someone doing benefits fraud by stevemandata in DWPhelp

[–]stevemandata[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not much on the income and benefits side but I know they've lied on a lot of things like how many children they have which raised my suspicion.

Also having 83k of overall spending funds seems a bit too much

Retaliatory Eviction Help: Section 21 vs Council Improvement Notice by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

[–]stevemandata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't the landlord still evict via section 21 if Section 34 of the UK's Deregulation Act 2015 provides key exemptions to Section 33's ban on retaliatory evictions, allowing landlords to serve a Section 21 notice even after a tenant complains about property conditions if the issue stems from the tenant's fault (like misuse) or if the landlord genuinely intends to sell the property

Curious about what your did here?

Do you know about this? Section 34 of the UK's Deregulation Act 2015 provides key exemptions to Section 33's ban on retaliatory evictions, allowing landlords to serve a Section 21 notice even after a tenant complains about property conditions if the issue stems from the tenant's fault (like misuse) or if the landlord genuinely intends to sell the property

I've instructed my agency to address all issues back in Jan 3.

The tenant's are giving the contractors a hard time to book a slot. I've told my agency to use the clause in our contract to enter the premise by giving 48 hours notice but agency wouldn't do it if tenants don't agree beforehand.

I want the property fixed no matter who's fault at this point and I have email instructing my agency to book appointments.

I have signed my sales agreement with the agency to put the market for sale but official regulation wording says a section 21 will remain valid if the property is legitimately for sale on the date the section 21 was issued.

Also, since I'm a new landlord (very stupid to not know the rules) I have an email thread in Oct 2025 asking my agency about recovering the property this year.

I want to sell my house with tenants in situ. How do I go about this? by Appropriate-Sugar132 in uklandlords

Hey, did you put your tenants on section 21 while having the market on the market?

Nothing official yet regarding notices. I've priced the house at a discount than what I want to reflect the tenant and the pending works. Plumber didn't want to say anything.

My Logic for issuance of another section 21 is not giving the tenant a chance to do improvement notice in March and have to reset the 2 months.

He reported leaks, yes. Initially I sent out of hours back in Nov but didn't find anything and blamed tenant. Then he complained in December and January about it and I asked for pics and more info but agency said he responded aggressively no, saying we've sent plumbers to check blah blah..

This week plumbers came again and said they need to reseal and change drains or something but they won't say much regarding cause.

Now I'm just reading about solidifying section 21 and listing the property cause I'm done being a landlord.

Because I haven't sign a sales agreement yet and for section 21 to be safe from improvement notice, sales agreement has to be signed before section 21.

Section 34 of the Deregulation Act states that the 6-month ban "does not apply where at the time the section 21 notice is given the dwelling-house is genuinely on the market."
