Management Agents and smoking tenants

So you think if I inserted (pun) a clause in my tenancy agreement saying "the Tenant will once-weekly give the LL a blow-job." that would be enforceable?sussexchick wrote: »thats surprising, if its contained in the lease agreement, surely its enforceable ?
There are many clauses in TAs that can never be enforced!
However, whilst I believe the European Court has ruled that a LL cannot prohibit a tenant from smoking (not sure- may have been some other court), that is not the issue here.
The issue is the damage caused by smoking.
Now, valid points have been raised above about 'wear and tear', and whether a flat would or would not, in any case need re-painting after 4 years.
I would certainly argue that smoking damage was not normal wear and tear, but judges can be unpredictable animals.....0 -

But there is nothing wrong with offering to help a friend e.g.
"I am a member of this great website- let me ask them:)"Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

Well, just remember to edit it on the next letting in case you let to a "monster" :eek::rotfl:Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

Well that clause is enforceable, as are the damages caused by the smoking as acts of waste.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

Some people smoke, get over it!.
Smoking cyclists are just the worst
But that said if the letting and contract were clear, no smoking, then they have every right to be miffed at the tenants ignoring that and the agent failing to check on their inspections.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
