    Boring/uneventful update: my friend returned from travelling and the tenant moved out on the agreed date having paid in full and causing no damage other than 1 broken wine glass which he fully admitted to and offered to pay for...
    Which disproves everything that was posted in this thread.

    Clearly there's absolutley no need for an EPC, GSC, deposit (and certainly not registration), tenancy agreement, S21 on return, tax declaration, or any of the other pointless, expensive and complicated things suggested in this thread.

    Life's a breeze!

    And presumably he'll be declaring his income to HMRC?

    Until it isn't..........;)
  • I very much doubt he'll declare the income.

    As much as I don't want bad things to happen to a friend, I kind of wanted him to learn a lesson through this, but he didn't.

    He will come unstuck if he carries on - he's just gone into a casino and put his house on red. Eventually it will land on black!
