To be honest with you, I don't think your problem is with the legal issues - I think you need to get out of there asap.

I can understand that you want to stand your ground and although you do have ...

Brent is a massive area, which I think is where you're confused - it's actually a London council area, so covers loads of different places!

You'll get better advcie if you specify an area, ie Wembl ...

Hey butterfly!

Just for your information, myself and my partner have been told that for a two-bedroom flat with a garden in Zone 2, you're looking at about £300 - £350 per week in rent, which would ...

Joanne - it's probably because he doesn't want a couple in there, for the reasons Bluey gave, and he's using HMO rules as an excuse.

It's ridiculous - why would you want to prove you had the funds before you even knew if you wanted the flat?

I'm sure there aren't many people stupid enough to fall for that.

Actually, winters are getting warmer.

ref: the last one we had.

Who the fuck are we, sweetcheeks? We've been here for a while and we know a fair bit, that's who the fuck we are.

By the way, you're an idiot. The 'laws' to which you refer are the fundamentals o ...

Does hold what? What laws are these?

You make out that you 'know stuff' but actually I doubt much of it is based on fact.

Squatting is absolutely not a right in any way, shape or form; in fact, it's a serious breach of rights (whether you disagree with those or not).

I do think there are some laws prohibiting agents from in essence creating a NEW contract on behalf of a landlord without the landlords express written agreement.

Dirty Mom - the new laws thing was Belle.

Why talk technically if it's never going to in real life?

Discuss by all means but don't tell the OP 'there are some new laws...' when clearly you have no idea what they are. That's really unhelpf ...

It's quite misleading when people post as if they have a good understanding of the law, when actually they don't.

I don't mean Bluey - he's very knowledgable and upfront.

It won't go to court. ...

What laws are those?

Still, the landlady's beef is with the agent, not the tenant.

If it's written into your agreement, then you can have it enforced - any miscommunication between agent and landlady is their problem, not yours, as the agents do exactly that - act as legal agent for ...

Why don't you get a job and just live within your means like the rest of us, who duly pay our taxes, NI, to keep ourseleves and seemingly everyone else in benefits and healthcare?

I'm normally more ...

I've already found three or four places, mostly north london (from Kensal Green right across to Canonbury way) doing garden two-beds for £300 per week, and that's more than two months before the movin ...

TBen, with all due respect - why ask a question, and then kick up a fuss when you don't get the answer you want?

If you want a legal opinion, you might be better off trying a legal forum, as I don' ...

Pennant:

2 beds (pref. both double), garden if possible, somewhere in Zone 2. Looking at spending £300 pw before all bills.

Thanks!

cleox

I know it seems like yesterday but we've been in our current flat for 18 months now Smile

I think we'd like a change of scene; promotion has meant we can both afford a bit more now, and given that we' ...

Pennant - do you have any two-beds that are going to be available in mid-June?

We're a professional couple who respect property, pay on time and don't play music loud - we like to make friends wi ...

Hey,

my partner had pretty much the same issue when we moved in together in London, and our agents just did the financial checks in his parents (as guarantors) instead of him. They didn't mind at ...

He's taken £50 off you for five years' worth of living there. I really wouldn't complain.

NickiUK - sorry to ehar you've been suffering.

A couple of things:

- it's the landlord's responsibility to contact you about people coming into your property, and shuffling that to the painter j ...

To be honest, Queen's Park does border Kilburn High Road, and towards the south end of the High Road that's quite close. I wouldn't say that the High Road is much less desirable than Queen's Park any ...
