Is there any legal reason why I, as a LL, need a Tenants forwarding address?
I am a LandLord,(under review) so there!:p

No real legal reason. But always useful in case they're getting letters from debt collectors etc, so you don't get hassled. and useful to pass on to bailiffs0

no, as there is no law a tenant has to inform you of a forwarding address.0
-
If the tenancy agreement states tenant must supply it then there would appear to be a legal obligation.
Ah, but how to enforce....
Does your tenancy have that obligation?0 -
so you can post them a cheque to return their deposit?A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

I doubt it would be enforceable:
1: the tenancy is ended, and hence so is the contract
2: there's no loss to the LL as a result of this (caveat- if there is a loss I can't figure out what it would be, but it's 1030 and I've been up 16+ hours so there might be an example or a few)0 -
I've left my forwarding address to previous LLs to be courteous, never been contacted though.SPC7 ~ Member#390 ~ £432.45 declared :j

Yes, but is it legal and how is it enforced, before you say write to them---don't.
The main point is, do I actually need it, is it worth even having it in the agreement?I am a LandLord,(under review) so there!:p0 -
Why don't you think about all the reasons you might need to have an ex-tenant's new address?
If you come up with scenarios important enough for you then you have your answer.0 -
