I have discovered my tenants are allowing a 3rd person to live at my property and they have taken a deposit and are charging the 3rd person weekly rent. The 3rd person is not on the tenancy agreement and the tenancy agreement clearly states: Not to assign or sublet any part of the Property or let any other person live at the Property other than the persons defined as tenants and not to receive any paying guests.  The agreement also states if there is a breach of any other of the Tenant's obligations, the Landlord may re-enter the Property and this Agreement shall end.

Should I immediately end the contract or should I still provide written notice?

My daughter and I had to leave our home just over 7 years ago moving in with my mum, in the same town but some distance away. We lived under the tyranny of a selfish alcoholic drunken argumentative nasty man (my now ex) who made our lives a misery with his behaviour and abuse. He stayed at the house and has over the years filled it with his "friends" (also drunks and worse). They have between them turned the house into a squalid and filthy hell hole - there is not a door left on the hinges (smashed off in all the drunken rows they frequently have) all the electric sockets are broken or again smashed off walls and the place is a total mess ! The neighbours have had enough of the constance noise from music, shouting, swearing, arguments inside and outside the house - in the street etc. The police visits are numerous but no one I think has complained to the Housing Assoc. because they fear reprisals and damage to their property so I am not aware whether the HA know of all this trouble or not. He has recently walked out of the property - leaving his debts and mess behind him. It was a council owned property but has since I left has been transferred to a Housing Association. My name has never been removed from the tenancy agreement (in his twisted mind he can tell himself that he has not really forced us out then and he's an ok person) and I am still named as joint tenant albeit in my married surname (I have reverted to my maiden name following my divorce). Does anyone know what my rights are to move back into the house taking up sole tenancy ? I have looked at the housing act under Reversion of Assured Tenancies and Surrender and Re-grant?

I have just let out my property. - so I'm new to this...The tenant has requested that the mattress be changed as she finds it uncomfortable.
The mattress is barely 5 years old, and has been well maintained -aired every day.
Any guests to my house have said that the bed is the "most comfortable" they have ever slept in. I have never found my mattress uncomfortable. I wish to keep the mattress as I know it is a good one, and wish to have it on my return to my home after the period of tennancy.
Am I obliged to change it because 1 tenant finds it "uncomfortable"?

Hi guys,

I just thought I would let you all know about a new site on the net called Unidahouse . co . uk - its quite a good site with lots of houses for York and Newcasle. Being a landlord you can let your house for free at the moment too as its got 2 months free!! Even after the two months its not a bad price.

Anyhow, just thought I would let you guys know - never one to miss a freebe!

Recently my flat has become the subject of a murder investigation.  I have been advised by the police not to return for my own safety.  Does this give me the right to break my current tenant agreement and move to another flat without loosing part of my deposit, especially if I am using the same estate agent?

Our tenants have had their tenancy agreement renewed 4 times in four years.  When it was first set up and their deposit was taken by the Estate Agent the Protected Deposit Scheme did not exist and we have not altered it at each renewal.  Should we have?

Hi

Our tenants gave notice to quit in writing to me personally and should have left on 8 June.  However, they told the Estate Agents but not me  that they intended to move out end of June and the property was marketed with availability end of June.  Quite a surprise to me but I let it go after speaking with the Estate Agents.  At the beginning of June we found tenants to move in at the end of the month and I dropped a letter round to inform them.  As I did not hear from them on this subject I assumed all was ok and went round on the 24 June to organise their exit inspection.  They told me they wouldn't now move out until 1 August as their house purchase wasn't complete.  I was horrified as our new tenants had already given notice to quit their existing property.  On top of this they would have paid more rent on a 12 month contract.  I even offered them another place to stay rent free for one month, but they refused saying it would take time and money to move twice.  Shortly afterwards I got a letter from their solicitor saying I had to leave them in peace etc until the end of their tenancy and that I had to give written notice before inspecting the property.  The tenants had failed to mention to their solicitor that they had given me their notice to quit.  I had spoken to them initially but when they refused to budge I just put them in contact with the Estate Agents.  The solicitor's letter says they will not move out until 1 September at the end of the shorthold tenancy.  I am so annoyed and am extremely worried that they will not pay the last months (August) rent and leave me with loads of bills and a damaged property.  If I engage a solicitor it will cost me £300 plus with no guarantees on our wonky justice system that I will win.  They have been in residence for 4 years and their deposit is not protected.  Can I serve a notice myself without going through a solicitor?  I cannot see which one would apply in my case, they all seem to talk about rent arrears, which has never happened. 

Oh and that's another thing, do I reject any rent they now try to pay?  By accepting it (although how I will pay the mortgage otherwise I don't know) am I accepting their continuing tenancy?

I have a tenant who signed a twelve month AST.  After 3 months she phoned to say that she needs to move out in 2 months time.  If i am unable to find anew tenant in this time am i allowed to keep her deposit?
