condensation resulting in mould growth in rental property

Richard, you are correct.

They have written to the tenant. They actually did that a while ago not long after I started this thread.
It is them who will be issuing the eviction notice, not my daughter

surely they can only give notice if the LL gives them permission?

[FONT=&quot]Letting agent can’t serve notice without knowledge and consent of landlord so sounds like BS

Alternatively, can you get an insurance that allows gas heating?

If gas heating wasn't forbidden in the tenant's contract, isn't he allowed to use it?

Fit good old fashioned air bricks & plaster vents just below ceiling height in each room.

Just to clear things up...
The landlord is my daughter. She uses a letting agent.
She has indeed previously given instructions to the letting agents, to write to the tenant, to advise the tenant that they are not permitted to use a portable gas fire.

As someone pointed out in a post somewhere above this one, portable gas fires are not normally allowed to be used in a property that is let out. It is a stipulation in the property insurance and not on the mere whim of my daughter

As I have mentioned previously, earlier on in the thread, my daughter uses a letting agent and it is she that issues that agent instructions.
They act on her behalf and on her instruction.
No BS there.

The property has full gas central heating and the central heating/hot water boiler is only 4 years old.
The tenant uses a portable gas fire because they can get 'cheap' (maybe even free) bottled gas from a 'mate' of theirs.

It is the insurer of the property that forbids the tenant using a portable gas fire.
I believe it is a common clause when insuring a property that is being let out?

think you have replied to the wrong post? I understand that point, was just questioning the notice is coming from the agent and not your daughter.
