    No address for it or anything? No name of a worker there? If you got a number stick it in google, may bring link up to a worker or the old website or something....or some other info you could possibly google and find out more, or better still give it me, I Should of been a detective, so nosy and it's Amazin how much info can be gained by googling bits and piecin it together. Searching on Facebook if you have any names can also bring up links to businesses etc

    I do have the agent's name, but not a Facebook. Judging from the conversation I had with HMRC an hour ago I think there is more to it than a filing error and I may have to contact the police.

    But it says in the contract that the agreement can be terminated by the landlord with two month's notice...? I am so confused by this, is it really true that a 12 month agreement effectively runs forever unless the tenant or court ends it? Why is it called a 12 month contract and not a lifetime contract?? How is it right that the tenant can stay after 12 months ends when there is no contract in place and if I am politely and with two month's notice asking them to leave?

    :eek: :( :huh: :shocked: :undecided:wall::think::silenced::naughty::doh:
    I am experiencing all this right now when people start being a landlord and have basic questions - meaning they don't bother researching and just think, I move out, people move in and pay me.

    In that case, I think it would be better for the tenants' health if they bought their own bed and let the wolfdog sleep in the four poster. Can't expect two adults to sleep in a kids' bed.

    There is a good king sized bed in the another room, I would not expect them to sleep in the antique bed - but the thought of ANIMALS sleeping in it is very unwelcome, it has an original C18th stuffed mattress and ruining something like that with fleas and smells is just not amusing.

    If you value these things, perhaps you should have watched more TV.

    Later, they head to Essex to track down the tenants of a country estate who owe their landlord more than £10,000 - but have since disappeared.
    Paul and Steve attend an eviction in Buckinghamshire where the tenant owes more than £26,000 in rent on his country estate residence.

    If all else fails you can always set your dragons on the tenants, their direwolf - I mean Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, and the letting agent. In fact whilst you're at it feel free to take out HMRC, preferably before I have to pay my next bill.

    I'm glad you are having a very merry evening.

    This is not a helpful programme!! My agent has disappeared and with him the damage deposit!

    The message on the HMRC line stated that calls are recorded, is this true?

    Strikes me you need to take some time off work & do a little physical investigating.....like knocking on doors of agents.

    Seems your tenants & their dog is now the least of your problems

    Don't those sorts of people have solicitors and accountants to protect them from themselves?

    They do, but if they decided not to tell the accountants about this because the rental agent said it was all covered, there's not much that the accountant could do.
