Q:Good day,
We currently rent a house and was wondering about who is liable for the charges to repair a patio window (or as it seems, the entire patio, due to its age).
While we were out, our poor dog seemingly broke the glass, probably by running through it – evident by her wounds
Nevertheless, we have been told by the landlord that we are liable for its repair costs, which is fine, however we would like to be sure. The reason for the lack of certainty is that
Q:My landlord has always been okay and usually pops round now and then to inspect the place. I don't mind but i have notices that recently hes started moaning about this moaning about that. The latest thing is he says I should clean the blinds but I see them as his responebility like the wallpaer, carpet etc. I have lived here for 2 years in June and want to move out but the places near me are really dear or only flatshares, they want peeps like non smokers or vegetarians or gays – and I'
Q:I only have a photocopy of my assured shorthold tenancy.
Question: Does a tenant need the original or is a photocopy ok? I have a really bad landlord so I'm going to have to take him to court for my deposit.
More questions…
1. Is the contract void if the landlord has not included his address? I know you dont have to pay the rent if the L doesnt provide the T with an address (I'm still paying), but will my contract hold up in court? I've already
Q:I have issues with my landlord (see previous posts for info) apparently I need to apply for a county court order because my landlord hasnt protected my deposit. How do I do that? I have no idea what I'm doing!!

Q:We are currently renting an apartment which we really like. It is a standard 1 year AST , and it runs out on the 31st of june.
We love the flat and the Area and have had no problems (or interaction) at all with the Landlord.

Now I have the following two reasons why I am co
Q:Having finally found the right flat at the right price in the right area to rent, we put a offer and holding deposit in with the agent.
The next day, the agent rang back to say that the landlord wanted slightly more PCM, no big problem there, we were willing to pay what they wanted. However they also let us know that the house although appearing like your average north London house converted into two flats was still registered as one dwelling. Although the landlord had put all the p
Q:Hi all,
I would just like to get some advice regarding my last tenancy. As you can see from the title of my post, my landlord has given me most of my tenancy deposit back from my last house which I moved out of 3 months ago and now he wants to claim some back, saying that there have been additional costs in cleaning etc.
