Since OP didn't say there wasn't such a clause I just assumed there would be!


:T :T

Since you so strongly corrected me, I thought you had something more than an "assumption" to back you up.

I have seen a lot of tenancy agreements, and not seen one where an amount for storage is stated, so on that basis, I think it is fair to assume it is not the norm.

The silly smilies add nothing to a serious discussion. You should be above that.

Either way, while the landlord must take care of the tenant's property, he is not expected to do it for free.
If the goods prevent the property from being re-let, either he can charge tenant for loss of rent, and possibly double rent, or he minimises his loss by putting the goods in storage and bill the ex tenant.

It depends what you mean by "expected". The landlord can not bill the tenant for storage(without prior agreement), nor prevent him from getting his belongings back.

Landlord can recoup his loss in any case, this can include storage fees.

Yes, after the fact(given the ex tenant his belongings, and then taking him to court to try and get his money back).

Time to click the 'refresh' button on your sense of humour!

Whether the OP had or had not mentioned the tenancy agreement in his thread, and whether the TA had or had not got a clause is immaterial. My post (5) highlighted to the OP that he should consult his TA for clause. OP advised & job done.

Though jjlandlord's later post corrects us both in that the TA is not the only basis on which storage can be charged.
