Problems in rented property

superfran_uk

Maybe as a last resort, but there are various people who will help.

The local CDRP (based at the council) could be informed about the youths, if they do nothing then complaining to a local councillor might kick start things. What about letting any charities etc doing detached youth outreach (who could approach the kids and steer them away) know? Even the local PC/PCSO/Community Warden might do something...

The Council environmental health team should be approached about the noise, maybe the local housing association, again a PSCO or warden.

Running away from your problems and your responsibilities is not an option for most people - if they have signed a contract they have to abide by it.

""If the neighbours are making a continuous racket and preventing this then it is the LL's problem to sort out.""


i dont believe this ..... (and yes i am turning into Victor Meldrew) - why on EARTH would you imagine that a LL is responsible for the behaviour of other people in the street ????? Isn't it enough that the law expects us to be responsible for our OWN tenants behaviour ? now you want us to police the street ???

give me strength


maybe you expect your landlord to do you blinking shopping for you as well


"" but can't they just move out and let the LL keep the deposit? "

thank goodness i dont have you as my tenant Debt - -

since the TDS schemes came into play - a LL may have to go to court to get a court order to get the deposit b ack (£150 court fee as well as all the lost time) -

just "moving out is such an irresponsible thing to advise....

Aww just wanted to let you know, I sympathise with your daughter

It is stressful enough having a young baby, and youths can be very intimidating

Hi
Thank you Debt, Superfran_uk for your useful and constructive comments

Thanks Dippychick - thank you for the kind words,it is hard when my daughter is on her own with a young baby

Clutton sorry if my questions caused offence! however,

What a mixed response - I was in no way stating that my daughter should shirk her responsibilities, she is aware that the tenancy agreement is a legally binding document. We are not saying that the landlord is in any way responsible, but there are problems we are just looking at possible solutions.

Many thanks to those who have posted constructive comments

If I were you, I would request that the landlord comes for a meeting and explain the situation, explain what happened with the man coming through the Window, how frightened your daughter is alone with the new baby... and say you will be happy to assist with finding a new tenant for the property...

Thanks Dippychick,:T

We were thinking along the same lines - if we do not ask we will not get so I have suggested to my daughter that she contacts the landlord and arranges a meeting.

Thank you again for your help and very useful input
