A little information pickledonion. I'm by no means rich. I'm a self employed joiner, in the last 18 months I've used £6000 savings, all I had, and lost a year's wages after an accident that snapped my rotator cuff tendons cleanoff, and subsequent surgery to reattach them, leaving me unable to work.
My rental income was my only income, I'm just getting back to work, and slowly paying back money to family members that helped me while I was incapable of work. In short, I'm on the bones of my 4r5e.
The prospective tenants were supposedly made redundant before Christmas, yet waited until three days before the moving in date before informing that agent they wouldn't be moving in. I've had daily viewings, so far with no luck. So if you think I'm sat here going through my property portfolio whilst checking my Audemars Piquet watch for the time, think again,

Thank you for the info - there was no way anyone could have known about your injuries - I have no idea what that means but it sounds agonising

Ok. I now have a tenant in the flat. I am just under £1000 down in lost rent due to the no show of the couple that signed the contract originally. Is it now time for the intent to pursue for losses letter? Also, as it was a couple do I need to take out two separate cases?

No you claimoff thm jointly. If they decline topay, you sue them jointly.


Letter Before Action is first step setting out clearly what you have lost and why they are liable.
