Car reg in pictures

I'm not quite sure what peoples' concern is with their car reg being shown in photos online? What's the security risk?

They blank out car registrations on the news because you can use the reg to get the address that the car is registered at - usually the owners home. In this case, the address is already known because the car is sat outside the house being sold and the owner of the car is (I assume) not a celebrity or newsworthy person and so not at risk of being stalked.

To the OP, there is nothing to worry about but if it does bother you, simply phone the estate agent and ask them to blank out the plate. It'll take them 2 mins to do.

If you are unhappy ask them to remove it, although you'll appreciate the old, cached, versions will be in the Internet's memory FOR EVER and crafty persons can continue to find it. I'd ask for a letter of apology from agent & landlord.

You appreciate you don't have to allow viewings, surveyors, mortgage valuers, the landlord, repair man(ah, careful with that one), the agent or ANYONE to enter YOUR PROPERTY - not landlord's

- and the only way the LL can force you to let someone in is to get a court order?? You are in a very strong position here to demand whatever you want (eg you ain't moving, your tenancy continues, and only viewings every 4th Wednesday between 13:30 & 13:45) see ...

Oh, and no you don't have to have the place tidy, the curtains drawn, the tele off or music not playing and dirty laundry strewn all over & sink piled high with mouldy dishes & pots...

Cheers!

Wrong.

You're the sort of lodger/tenant a landlord would throw out - and they could! YOU don't own the place - the landlord does. The property belongs to him.

If you try and be difficult and dent him access, or cause a nuisance for him, you'll soon be slung out on the street - with a bad reference to boot!

The landlord is selling, he'll be out anyway!

So if you keep going into your tenants property, without their permission, that is unlawful. You can be prosecuted by local authority tenancy relations officers under the criminal law, and your tenant can sue you under the civil law for an injunction to stop you going in, and for financial compensation.

It will still be the tenant’s property, even though he or she may not be paying the rent.

He'd be a NUISANCE tenant, though. Therefore he could be slung out. End of.

NO tenant can lay down the law and PREVENT the landlord from having people come round to view HIS property.

You need to get real.

MsHoarder

You can't just "sling out" a tenant for not being friendly about viewings beyond what is required in the tenancy agreement. It is in both the tenant's and the landlord's interest to keep things friendly and be flexible beyond what is required from the agreement, but that is because a bit of flexibility about access from the tenant is often reciprocated with the landlord treating them a bit better than is legally required.

Also, the tenant is leaving anyway, otherwise what would be the point in having estate agent photos done?

I think your view of what is morally right, and the law, are at odds.

We are all very real on here.

I'm sure you aware it's illegal for a landlord to harass a tenant and you could end up in jail?

Well going into a tenant's home more than once without their permission is considered harassment by the courts.

Though tenants often can and will take legal preventative steps to stop you harassing them in their home such as changing the lock and not giving you the key.

If you go to court to gain permission to enter your property for example to do repairs, unless there is a good reason to not give you permission it will be granted.

However if you don't go down the legal route, and force entry in your property that is occupied by tenants you can be arrested on a criminal charge.

I suggest you get on well with your tenants and none of the above will ever be an issue.

Well if it's the tenant's property (:rotfl:) why don't they sell the property and take the money?

You dope!

Who mentioned anything about a LL harassing a tenant? It sounds more like you'd want to put obstacles in the way of a landlord selling his property........

Good job a tenant can't do that! A tenant cannot obstruct a landlord from entering HIS property. If he does - he will be taken to COURT - and slung out.

By the way, you can't be charged with criminal damge TO PROPERTY THAT BELONGS TO YOU. A tenant merely rents - a landlord owns.
