I managed to get a CCJ against a rogue tenant almost 6 years ago. The CCJ only covered the outstanding rental she accumulated whilst awaiting the Bailiffs for 8 months.
The ruined unit and furniture theft was an added cost that I ignored.
I have just been sent an email from the Home Office. Looks like those plastic Biometric Residence Permits (BRP) cards are now being phased out and potential tenants now have to open an online account with the Home Office so that they can get their Visa…

Hi, hope all is well. I have purchased an HMO that was let to students and I have continued renting to students so far. The property is licensed for this purpose, although the license doesn’t specify that it must always be rented to students.

Many houses are damp due to inadequate ventilation.
My daughter is renting out her apartment in Amsterdam, having moved to Leiden.
Her tax liability will be based on the size and location of the flat not on the rent charged or profit made after mortgage interest etc.
Hi, I have a flat with 2 bedrooms but the lounge is huge. Lounge is irregular shaped 16.38 sqm, Bed 1 is 16.01 sqm, Bed 2 10.34 sqm

Hi, in short: this is an EDF supply dispute. Our last tenant had an account with EDF for electricity. The new tenant has asked to have the account released so they can sign up with another supplier.

Shelter says “26,000 no fault” evictions have been enforced by bailiffs since 2019. If this relates to the 5 million in the PRS then this represents around 7,000 tenancies a year or 0.1% of total.
