    Oh dear. Another letting agent without a clue.

    Join the NLA right now, & get them to talk you through exactly what you need to do & what forms need filling in, & how.

    It sounds like both tenants are named on the AST, and yet the agents have only served notice on one.

    Why one tenant is named both as a tenant & permitted occupier is beyond me. Did the agent think there were two of him?

    You'll need to re-serve notice properly. Get the NLA to help you with this, don't trust the agents to do this properly.

    Get the agent to email you now (& post too) a full copy of all the documents they hold, including this guarantor 'agreement'. Once you have a copy & post it here (minus names) someone will tell you if it's actually valid.

    G_M I am not being vague !!yes you are - see below!

    what I have wrote is correct

    I have 2 tenants :- tenant x... working male

    tenant y... non working female

    BOTH are listed as tenants on the tenancy agreement

    tenant x is also listed as permitted occupier?? ignore. This is a meaningless clause since x is a tenant.

    how can this be right ??it isn't. it has no legal meaning but shows how unreliable the agent is

    spoke to letting agent today, they have a seperate covenant/deed that the guarantor has signed. Too vague! Which is it? Get a copy. As asked several times already, is it executed as a deed? Is it witnessed?

    hope this helps


    EDIT s21 is only lists tenant y on it and not tenant x??
    S21 is invalid. Start again.

    Now do you see why we keep asking for precise details?
