I was originally notified of the section 21 notice; However, during the notice period, the property was sold to an investor buyer who wanted us to continue renting. New conditions were discussed and 6 to 12 months of rental period were agreed verbally with the new owner via the rental agent and we were told that the new contract document would be published in due course. So, my question to my fellow landlords, do you allow leases to go periodically? Do you have a game plan when it comes to contracts? My son rents a property with a minimum duration of 12 months and a short-term lease that expires at the end of the week. The agreement allows the monthly periodic tenancy to take effect if the tenant decides to stay beyond the minimum duration of 12 months. However, the Agreement does not contain any notice period for the termination of the Agreement, which must be given except within the first 3 months and at the time the Agreement becomes periodic. Therefore, we interpret this agreement as advocating notification in the event that the tenant decides to leave the property at the end of the agreed minimum term of 12 months, and he may do so without notice. The owner denies this and declares that he is obliged to give a notice period of one month. Is she right? As anyone who has rented an apartment knows, the lease sets the period during which the contract must run and the amount of rent that the tenant must pay. The tenant accesses the property and uses it in the manner agreed in the lease.
The landlord receives rent for a certain period of time, and after the end of the rental period, his property rights are returned. If the contract does not have the opportunity to break prematurely, but you still have to leave, you should discuss the problem with the landlord or agent and they may be willing to release you from the contract prematurely, provided that you cover their reasonable costs for this and any rent they might lose. If you are in a shared house/apartment, another option may be to make a tenant change and replace yourself with a new person in the contract. I am a nice (?naïve) owner. The tenants have been in the house next door since 2012. We both send each other food, etc. I could see that they were a young family and sometimes struggled to pay, so they didn`t have the heart to raise the rent. The last 2 year old tenant missed payments and then paid later (at the cost of the mortgage for me). The family informs me that the tenant has a gambling problem (explains why I would receive a text message saying he would come with rent and then a no-show).
We talked about how we could allow the board to pay me directly, which they agreed to, but then they came back (the wife set it up, the husband canceled it). So again even after the rent. You have a periodic contract. I asked them to leave or pay a higher rent (A because they pay well below market value and B I have to increase the rent because of daily mortgage fees and financial changes in my life). The increase in rents is always below the market price. I wanted to serve Section 21, but I`m worried because I didn`t put their deposit in a DPS. I don`t want to give another new 6m AST, but if I had to give a new 6m AST, could I put a rolling deposit in a DPS now? He said he wouldn`t sign it unless it was for 5 years! Can I serve Section21 & Return Deposit without running the risk of tenants claiming 2-3 times the deposit? I suspect that if they refuse to move, I have to 🙁 Article 8 Unfortunately, I cannot find the original contract, just an addendum. One paragraph reads as follows: … ». In addition, it is agreed that the rental, renewal and rental receipt service for the duration of the lease is x% + VAT. » Can an owner also refuse a rollover contract? If your landlord wants you to leave, in some cases they may not want your rental to move to a periodic rental. You may want you to leave at the end of your term. The owner can: plan to sell the property.
I will ask them to email me a copy of the original of the full contract tomorrow. If your agreement is something like «Pay while the tenant introduced by the agent lives in the property» or «Pay for the duration of this lease and a subsequent lease with the tenant», you MAY HAVE TO pay. I remember that the unlimited payment for the search for tenants was considered unfair. I think this could have been the case if it had lasted more than 2 years; If this is the case, it may be a cynical attempt by the agent to circumvent the conclusion (they issue a new contract and the 2 years start from scratch). Hello, we moved to the current property on 15.07.2018 and in February 2019 our landlord issued item 21 and gave 2 months to go until 06/04/2019. but now we haven`t moved yet. Now we have received a defense form from the court, which we have to fill out and return. Our promised lease ended on 15.07.2019. We still pay every 14 years of rent. Now we have found a property that can move on November 23, 2019.
Do we still have to notify the owner 1 month in advance? If so, when should we move on November 23rd? While useful in some circumstances, a continuous rental does not give you or the landlord the security of knowing how long the extended stay in the property will last. Hello, I wonder if someone can help you. I had a 12-month fixed-term rental, which was then extended by 6 months (another fixed term) at the end of the first 12 months, paying £120 for the privilege of staying and increasing the rent. The 6 month fixed term expires in March and I want to sign a 1 month rolling contract to have more freedom in finding another location – can my landlord/agent legally refuse me this and force me to enter into another fixed-term contract? Thank you for knowing how to create your contract, read our guide and create an account to get started for free! What you want is for the rental to become legally periodic (or contractually periodic, but it`s too late for that now). Your rental usually ends automatically if you leave until the last day of the fixed term. Some contracts say you have to cancel, so check your agreement. A periodic tenancy is the legal term for an ongoing tenancy with no specific end date. In the meantime, I have had a dialogue with the tenants and them about what they prefer to a new contract, as well as with the real estate agents, sharing my thoughts that it seems quite unfair that their commission fees continue to be so high until the tenant moves. I mentioned that once my tenants move, I may be forced to choose different agents to reduce their commission year after year, etc.
if they don`t want to negotiate this with me for new tenants. Well, to my surprise, they contacted me today to tell me that as a sign of goodwill, they will reduce the commission by 1/2%, now that two years are over and tenants can stay a few more years. After my last post, I can now confirm that I am really lonely. As expected, my last remaining ally in the aforementioned conflict has now deserted and returned to the premises on Sunday, October 29. To explain why he was the last to get up, I have to fill in more information about this «rental of hell». This flatshare for 4 people began on September 27, 2016. In February 2017, the main tenant moved and found his replacement «R». The landlord asked me to become the main tenant, which I accepted as no one else wanted to do it.
In addition to evaluating my new duties, the landlord told me that she had just discovered that tenant «x» had not paid his rent for the first three months of 2017. I asked her if she expected me to do anything about it, to which she replied, «No, let me sort this out.» Next event @ End of March 2017 Tenant `RA` moved without replacement In July 2017, the landlord informed me & `R` that if she could not locate `RA`, we were responsible for her rent arrears (4mts), but also that `x` had continued to be late with her rent and that we were now also responsible for her rent (6mts). She had also invoked an interruption clause that allowed her to end the lease a month earlier (August 26, 2017). «R» and I left as dictated on August 26, believing that «x» had also disappeared. We received a «letter before action» on September 10, which said: – «X» had left the site on the 27th and changed his mind and returned 10 days later. This, she said, meant that the tenancy would be «periodically continued» and that «all tenants had been subject to rent on an ongoing basis» until she managed to remove «X» from the premises. (could be the end of the year). In addition, we were all jointly and severally liable for the rent arrears of `X` (9mts) & `RA` (4mts).
Since only «R» and I actually paid, it was up to us to pay the arrears, which we did. CAB & Shelter stressed that the only way to terminate this «periodic rental» is to send a «notice of termination» while respecting the correct notice period, etc. I did and the rental end date was October 26, 2017. The country lady does not accept that the rental ends and has made other requests for full rent. I joined WhichLegal who are currently looking into the case. As you can imagine, this is a rare «box of worms». «R» and I are already over £5000 out of pocket and if the owner is somehow proven to be legal, then financial ruin is coming. «R», in light of the information from hearsay, has decided to return to the premises, regardless of the benefit it will bring him. Me, in my new apartment and £800/mine, I can`t even think of the «R» type.
Can anyone give a legitimate or logical reason why this landlord believes she can hold «R» and I liable for the current rent in all of the above circumstances? If it goes to court, there are other issues that are highlighted that do not show the owner in a favorable light, including broken window sockets that make the building unsafe, which she did not want to repair because of the cost and other smaller items that poorly reflect her general behavior. .
