    The issue seems to be you have a tenant that is not happy.

    Your management approach seems to be failing as you are waiting till Monday to see if you have a bigger problem when you could have been on top of it.

    You mean revenge evictions? Why shouldn't they be abolished?

    Why were you not at the property Friday to know what the inspector has decided about your repairs?

    It's ridiculously little notice.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    With OP's clearly outstanding people-handing and other soft skills, are any other MSE members not surprised by tenant's actions?



    Best regards to all.

    And the OP is still avoiding your questions. :)

    Artfuldodger,

    Apologies, I’m owner and landlord, not agent. I hope that info provides sufficient foundation to provide feedback based on your experience. Any advice on my original question would be appreciated. I realise many have very valid views on the ethical/ moral aspect, and so do I but this is my income. I’ll do what I need to do to protect it.

    Looking forward to your insights,

    Regards,

    Ritfor

    I don't know the law on this but a council that is on top of complaints and has the resources to act promptly is refreshing.

    I'm dying to tell the OP just how many very experienced LLs have posted on this thread but I'll restrain myself.

    Well, we've run out of popcorn over here, but I think G_M has some more cake on the cooling rack, so we should be good for a while yet.
