  1. Andy post 16 is News about Mears putting Asylum seekers into hotels. As for the Asylum seekers getting paid rent directly to forward to Mears that is not the case. On my tenancy it states the following in which Mears is the tenant Think they may use this but then again they need to prove that they did the work after informing me which they have not.
  2. But my AST on the property is with Mears. On the AST it states " "The Tenant" Mears Limited of Innova House, Kinetic Crescent" So aren't they the tenant? If they don't pay me they are the ones late on the rent? This isn't an estate agency whose contract states they will collect rent from tenant and pay to me. The tenant is Mears.
  3. On my AST the tenant is listed as "Mears Limited" so I assumed they are are the ones who would need to pay the rent and not the people actually living in the property since I don't know who they are. The tenants are not actually paying rent to Mears who have a govt contract so are getting the money direct. I have noticed there have been a few different tenants in the last 2 years. Ground would be 2 months in arrears.
  4. No they haven't sent anything. It was only once I questioned them about the missing rent this month that I got a email back to say its being withheld till the invoice is cleared. Yes the payments are normally on time. As of now they are one month late.
  5. Since I know I have done everything by their rule book. Can I charge them any late payment or fees to send out reminder letters? I can't right?
  6. But wouldn't they just point to their t&c's that state they will pay any tickets and bill me for it. I need something to take up with TFL.
  7. So I should get back to them and dispute it with the fact that I was responsible and they did not inform me so they need to cancel it and refund Lex Autolease? I know lex have got it in their contract that they will pay any parking fines etc and bill me for them. Can I dispute the fact that I left the country at 8am the next day and the car was parked up at LHR from 7am? The payment I made was for the previous day when I had driven in London?
  8. That thread suggests that the owner of the vehicle is responsible for the fine. In my case the owner has paid the fine and billed me as per the contract I have signed with the lease company. I don't see what angle we can use to say that I did not get the PCN. Thank you so much for your help. Usually I would just pay the bill but I honestly don't feel this one is right as I paid it albeit a few minutes late.
  9. It’s Mears group who have the house from me directly. They use it to house asylum seekers from a govt contract that they have. I have looked at carefully at the agreement and it gives me 5 days to get work done for slipped tiles. I did the work and emailed them confirmation within 4 days. it’s the withholding rent part that I am not happy with. As this could take weeks to resolve.
  10. Thats fine. I have no issues with the penalty charge being issued to my lease company. They have actually been very cooperative and provided me with a letter that gives permission to discuss case directly with TFL. I would be very grateful if you can advise any route I can contest this ticket as I did actually pay it albeit after midnight. I can't recall selecting the date.
  11. Yeah they paid them and then charged me £25 for their admin fees. I guess technically they are right but I genuinely thought I was paying for the same day. I wasn't even in London the next day as we flew away on holiday. If I take it to appeals do I have anything to stand on?
  12. I spoke with TFL and they simply dismissed it saying they did not get payment for that day so its due. Its a lease so the registered owner is the leasing company so I guess they have billed the right person and been paid for it too. The leasing company paid them with a few days and only just informed me.
  13. I was in London last month and after driving in central London I logged on to pay the congestion charge once in the hotel. I must have just crossed over into past midnight while doing it as they are saying I have paid for the Sunday and not the Saturday. I now have a bill for £80 even though I paid the charge of £15 albeit past midnight. But I thought it gave you option to pay within 24hrs or something? First time in years I have been to London and after I punched in my vehicle details it told me £15 was due. I can't recall seeing any pick dates option. Anyway since the car is a lease they have sent bill to them and I now have a bill for £105. Anything I can do?
  14. What about this? Are they allowed to withhold rent? Thank you Andyorch. You have been so helpful.
  15. But if I ask them for the original documents and start looking into that it means I admit the work was informed to me and pending. My stance at the present moment is that they failed to inform me about any tile work so I am not responsible for the work done. As per their own terms they need to inform me of work before doing it.
  16. That was my original question. Can they withhold rent? In their tenancy it states the following. In the past as a LL I have been advised that I can write what I want in a contract but in the end its the basic laws of AST's that will be used by the court. Is that true?
  17. They have sent me their own bill with a breakdown of the costs. Not any of the original bills. Yeah I have been and can't see any work that was done. Although its been 6 months now so the work could have blended in? But my points are - 1. I was asked to fix flat roof via email. I fixed flat roof. Was not informed about the tiles at anytime until now. My roofer did a visual inspection of the roof then and did not find any issues. I have this in writing from him. 2. I did the work within the given timescales. 3. They informed me 7th and actioned the work on the 10th themselves which was before the 5 days as per contract. Honestly £1,800 to replace a few tiles is day light robbery. They are now not paying me rent so in arrears.
  18. Sorry about that. So I am a LL and have rented the property directly to Mears who use it to house Asylum Seekers. They informed me on the 7th of June about a leak in the flat roof (no tiles) I sent someone the next day to look at it and got the work done on the 11th of June. Kept them updated on the both the visit to inspect the damage and once repair was done. Got email reply back from them on the inspection visit (8th June) to allow visit but never heard back from them once I informed them on the 11th that the work was done. I wasn't too worried by this as they never reply to emails normally. I get a bill from them in December for £1,800. I asked them what this was for and they advised that it was for the repair to the main part of the roof (replacement of tiles) I was never advised of this. I have all communication on email there was nothing discussed via phone calls. The contract states that I need to fix any roof issues within 5 days. I did it within 4 days and sent email confirmation of the same. They are now saying the roof was inspected on the 10th of June and works were found to be not done so they got them done. This was 3 days after the email from them to notify me of pending work. Their own contract states that I get 5 days to get roof work done. I was advised it was a leaking flat roof. The repair bill I have got is for fixing the tiles on the roof. I was not told about the roof before any work was done to it? Their contract states the following -
  19. I have rented my house to a company who use it to house people. Recently the flat roof developed a leak and they asked me to fix it which I did the next day. 6 months later I get a bill for £1900 for scaffolding, various surveys for some tiles they replaced. My roofer was on the same roof and did not see any tiles out. They are now deducting the £1,900 from the rent due. This is absolutely ridiculous as I got the work done and they never gave me notice about the tiles. They said it was the flat roof which I got fixed. Now my question is can they do this? I know a tenant can't as they need to pay the rent. But can they do this considering they have their own 20 page tenancy in place covering them for everything.
