I very much doubt that a term re general mail and forwarding it overseas would be enforceable. I imagine that in the case above it was an important notice to the owner clearly marked as such that the tenant failed to forward to the UK address for serving notices which could be an enforceable clause.0

Then it is such a shame that every single tenancy agreement I've seen has a clause that the tenant must not change energy supplier, despite it being explicitly allowed by statute. It seems some education is needed on both sides.Miss_Samantha wrote: »Can't find it right now, but one of the deposit schemes had a case study in which they wrote that they had previously awarded £700 to a landlord from a tenant's deposit because the tenant failed to forward an important piece of mail in breach of his tenancy.
I think that it is regrettable that many people think that tenants have carte blanche and that every and all tenancy terms are 'unfair' by default.
The situation is quite the opposite: A tenancy term has to be assumed to stand unless the tenant can demonstrate that it should not.0 -

Me too!
In our case, there was nothing in the agreement and we hadn't actually been asked to forward anything.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0 -
With no UK agent. How will any property maintenance be undertaken?
Keep an eye on who the mail is from. Perhaps the mortgage is no longer being paid.0
