  1. It has only just staretd to become a problem with the flatmate. I am staying with girlfriend pretty much all the time, she and her housemates have said if you need evidence that you are never there you can ask us. It was the fact I was wasting over £200 a month living there. Me and the flatmate has an argument about the electric bill, she thinks that it is only fair that I pay half of it. I was an electrician before university, and I warned her about the electricity billl if she continued using the electic heater. She suggested that I move out if I was not willing to contribute to the bill and I agreed. So asked the landlord if I could end the tennancy, he said no. I then asked what if I found a replacement. He said then you can get out of the agreement. Over the past few weeks I have been looking for a replacement. She has disagreed with all but one tennant, who was on DHSS and the landlord said he did not accept it. So the search went on, another few people were interested but she said no to them. So one guy said he would like it the other day, but he said that he could not move in untill he sorted his last tennancy deposit out. He met my housemate breifly who just said hello and ignored him. She said she wanted to talk to him after the viewing - after blatantly ignoring him when he was there. I think he has lost interest in the flat now, and as I had a suitable tennant found it is not going to happen because of her unbeliveable ignorance. As for getting evicted, thats not a problem but I have a guarantor but my mum wont be able to afford it. I do have an alternative place to live.
  2. 6 months into a 12 month contract. There are many reasons that I want to leave. The Landlord does not give enough notice to enter the property, they think half an hour is enough notice. While the landlord has said that I can find a replacement tennant, my flatmate keeps beng judegemental apart possible replacements by stating things like "They alook like they could cause trouble" or because she does not like the look of them - this is without even talking to them. On three seperate occassions I have went to enter the flat and the door has been left open, of course it isnt her fault it is always someone elses. While I have only spent 10 days living in the flat since August, my flatmate has managed to rack up a £160 electricity bill. While it is a joint tennancy and I am responsible for the bill also, I know for a fact that she uses an electric heater for her own personal use, and again she is being unreasonable about how much of the bill I have to pay. My girlfriend lives with 3 other people and her electic bill was £50! Furthermore, I do not have any receipts for paying rent, there was a rent book but it has mysteriously gone missing, and the landlord still has not given me a copy of my contract - sent him a text last night asking for a copy again. One of the potential tennants said they wanted it, but then she turned around and said I want to talk to him first (she seen him in the flat and only said hello). I have all this stress and on top im in my last semester of university and I know I won't be able to afford the rent. So if it comes down to it, I might have to leave the flat and leave her liable for the rent. Uni comes first, im not wasting 3 years on this.
  3. LL has said that the tennant currently there has to agree, but as I said she is being judgemental/difficult on every tennant. It is a joint tennancy agreement that was signed for a years contract, although I have also asked twice to look at the contract but no contract has been shown. The tennancy is for shared facilities and room.
  4. It is a private let. I can 100% prove that I did not give him any permission to enter property or enter my bedroom in either verbal or written forms. Although would it go against me for the very fact I did not reply to the answerphone message? And even if I did reply it was not enough notice? The landlords wife or whoever she is states word for word when he will arrive at property and the voicemail time stamp supports that it is four hours before the time he was suppose to be doing the viewing. Could they claim they did not know about this particular law?
  5. I do want out but my flatmate is also being difficult with me allowing a replacement tennant which the landlord agreed to. So this is the only way possible. As for the flat door being opened, it has happened three times in the past 5 weeks, on one occassion my flatmate blamed a builder and I happened to have left my rent in the kitchen for landlord. Landlord entered property without permission as far as I am aware. The other tennant might have agreed, but I think he has entered the property on more than one ocassion. Builders/Painters have also entered the property without me even being informed. Many viewings have taken place since that first voicemail so I think he is helping himself to enter the property. It is a student property, I have also been told that if he knocks the door three times and if there is no answer before entering then he is not breaking the law. Would it matter if one tennant agreed but I didnt even by on the basis of bein given short notice?
  6. Hi everyone. It has recently come to my attention that the landlord entered the flat I am renting a) without my consent, he was showing potential new tennants around the flat so therefore he must have also opened my locked bedroom door, again without permission. b) he only gave me 3 hours notice, which was an answer phone message - not a direct call. Also, the voicemail was not left by him but by either his wife or a work associate. If it was a joint tennancy, would he only need permission by one tennant? I was not in the property at the time. On one other occassion, a door was left open in the flat, either by my flatmate or by a worker - which once again I was never informed about. As this is a breach of contract, would I be able to end my joint tennancy, (which is a year long) with immediate effect and would he be able to take me to court. Thank you in advance for answers.
