If there's an inventory already, i would go through it with the tenants, just to make sure it's accurate.

You register to the dps, but i don't know if money can be transferred or it needs to come out and then protected again.

The dps helpline will be able to help you with that.

When the tenancy agreement is up and reverts to a rolling agreement, sweeten up the tenants (if they're good tenants) and let them sign up for another period (6months, a year or even longer).

That will be the opportunity to start a new, detailed and tailored agreement in which you can highlight rules specific to your property, for example non smoking indoors.

The estate agents agreements are all standards and most of the stuff in them are not relevant to the property.

Again, there are plenty of sample tenancy agreements online which you can adapt

Thanks again

Just 1 question from before: So I don't need a new tenancy agreement; just a letter stating the old terms and conditions of the tenancy stay the same its just me managing it now?

Ok so the Tenant got a letter that said they were dissolved mmmm

Also have a wee look at this CAG Link: https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?455224-Private-Renting-Home-Owner-Shared-Owner-Leasehold-etc-Information

There's so much info on that link; what am I looking for or what am I doing?

I got the tenant to take a picture of the letter that they were sent originally on Monday.

If you look at those links and ask yourself why has the Company you Employed written to your Tenant and not you stating they were Dissolved.

Did you give this Company you Employed permission to pass all the Documentation on your Property & Tenancy with that Tenant to this other Company.

I would be insisting with that other Company that you are given Copies of all the documentation they hold on your Property and Tenant i.e. Inventory, Tenancy Agreement, Safety checks, Tenancy Deposit Scheme Documents etc.

Also you need to check with the Local Authority as almost all now require Private Landlords to be Registered.

Yes, you just write a letter to the tenants and let them sign explaining that with immediate effect you manage the property yourself and the t&c of the tenancy remain unchanged.

That's fair enough, valid point.

I was given copies and originals and everything of mine to me on Monday when I went to see him along with my spare keys that they held. I basically hold everything with me.

I'm also just trying to figure out how I can get the rent I've not been paid as well. Got the tenant querying with his bank.

I have the lady's number but seems to be going straight to voicemail. Anything else I can do?
