Tenants rights in terms of 'quiet enjoyment'

If you want to inconvenience them to make them think twice about their intrusion, make sure you all get together to cook a big Sunday dinner every week that they have this event planned. It'll be interesting to see how they can warm up their iceland ready meals when your oven is full of a cooking roast and all the trimmings. If you are using your kitchen to its fullest extent, they can't override your right to it without crossing all sorts of lines...0

Unfortunately you are said in a pickle of your own making.
By either side NOT entering into a formal agreement to record what you agreed and therefore protect you, the only recourse is for
a: a court to establish the matter
b; terminate your "tenancy" and move on.
:jotherwise you are simply going to have to discuss matters and come to a new agreement.
Some of the suggestions about the pub using the kitchen for food, the absence of any " elf n safety" let alone VAT, and access to the kitchen are bargaining points.
Tread carefully, your rent might not outweigh your usefulness if you can be replaced, and in the meantime your life become unbearable.
:money:Form a band and take up the paid residency on Sundays?Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0 -
- I am on the electoral roll, although my flatmates aren't because well, I don't think they really care. With relevance to council tax, I asked the landlords about this before joining the roll and they told me that we are registered and they pay the council tax for us. I have never seen proof of this, but equally couldn't say outright that they don't.
The sounds correct - the property appears to be a HMO for council tax purposes which means the landlord is liable by law for any council tax due.I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -

Not angry, but who in thier right mind moves into a pub that is open for business then moans that of all things a pub plays live music till 9pm..I think the op has got very lightly as it could be 11pm and then to come on here not liking what he is being told ..he has the put up or shut up option and that is it.
It is like living above a kebab shop and then moaning that they have started to sell chips..It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0
