Really the notice period doesnt apply to the tenant.
The local authority will stop payment once the tenant stops paying their share though, covered in the T&Cs.
If the tenant fails to pay the LA their portion of the rent, the tenant becomes liable for the full amount, and you have little hope of recovering anything there.
It absolutely does as the contract is between the tenant and the landlord, the LA are not party to the agreement.
What i meant was that the tenant can just ignore the notice period if they choose and nothing will happen to them.
Whereas the landlord cant.
What I was suggesting is that the landlord in this case, just say nothing to the LA. If the tenant doesnt say anything to the LA during the required notice period, then keep collecting the rent from the LA. After all the property is still rented until the required notice period is over.
No they're definitely not leaving the country, they've got a property from the council.You might get lucky and the tenants ships out to another country and hap dont find out.
What are you going to do about the rent being paid a month in arrears?No they're definitely not leaving the country, they've got a property from the council.
Not sure what you mean but i'm due payment for February on March 31st and I am due payment for March on April 28th, I will know when I get that payment whether hap have been notified of the tenancy ending.What are you going to do about the rent being paid a month in arrears?
Unfortunately the scheme is set up to protect the councils here, the terms cover them in that once the tenant stops paying them, they will stop paying you.I thought at the very least the council/hap would've paid me up to the day they left the property.
The problem there is it's illegal to refuse to accept HAP. Seeking higher rents and larger deposits might mean many can't afford your place, but you need to be careful about even mentioning HAP when vetting prospective tenants.Nothing against hap tenants but I doubt I'll ever go down that road again.
