Thanks for the advice odyssey06. I'll certainly do all that. Do I actually have to move out based on the notice or can I appeal just before my eviction date and remain on in the property while it's being dealt with?
I will be one of the few here who has sympathy for the LL.
Will they do anything if the new tenant doesn't dispute it (which they probably won't if its market rate)?
If he advertises the property on daft (which is how he got us), I could see what rent he is going to charge the new tenants. I could then contact the new tenants to see if the property was refurbished.Besides, how could you know what rent your landlord is charging the new tenants or whether or not he has substantially refurbished the property?
You could. But what's in it for you?If he advertises the property on daft (which is how he got us), I could see what rent he is going to charge the new tenants. I could then contact the new tenants to see if the property was refurbished.
Well that's obviously your prerogative but from what you've told us I think you would be wasting your time and money.Is it worth my while seeking paid professional legal advice on this?
I think you will find that landlords firmly believe that the opposite is that case.It seems like the landlord holds all the power in this case.
I will be one of the few here who has sympathy for the LL. You have had 30% rent discount for many years, don't abuse it.
I'm sure had he been only driven by rent return, he would have increased it a long time ago, and would not be in the boat he's in now.
I also recon he has been forced like so many into this situation.
Unless you both come to a reasonable compromise, someone could loose big time here, and it could be you.
How will the RTB treat a case where the tenant accepts an increase that breaches RPZ limits... then there is a later dispute about rent?
and there in a nutshell you have the reason so many landlords are getting out of the business.I'm so annoyed at this stage, I want to do everything I can to stop him profiting from our eviction.
Clairebear for years you have been getting a great deal and you still can by accepting a new amount that is still lower than the market rate - you should be thanking your landlord for the years of reduced rate living they have provided to you.
It is rental madness out there and your common sense is being blinded but nonsensesical new rules that are ruining the rental market. Apologise, accept the new rental amount or you will find yourself competing with the thousands of other unfortunate people trying to secure overpriced accommodation right now.
Odyssey an apology wouldn't be needed if clairbear was reasonable in the first place - maybe it still isn't but if I was their landlord I'd be happy to see the back of them at this stage so I'd suspect they will want one...
