Carryon Regardless Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 My standing orders all expire after the 20th January payment, so it's now that I issue the s/o for the next 12 months. I also do some market research to gauge a reasonable, if any, rent increase that may be applied. My style of information is an informal letter to the T's, my details, their details, new rent amount, when payable, signed. For their details I have used the property address but only their Christian name, so maybe needs amendment, although no one else by that name will be living there ?? Aside from the surname I believe the required info is present, but there is no title 'Section 13 notice (Housing Act 1988)', should there be ? Time period requirements are observed. So far I have not had issue and T do as requested, but I read that unless the correct notice is served repossession due to unpaid rent may be thwarted (S8 so doesn't really worry me anyway), but more serious a T 'may' be able to recover some rents paid, the not correctly S13 notified portion I would guess.

Richlist Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 My understanding is that any rent increase agreed by both parties negates the need for an S13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carryon Regardless Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Mine to. I've read a few enet pages and as usual there are inconclusive and sometime conflicting 'opinion'. I present my polite letter, T commences new payments (having presented the s/o to their bank), and I would say that that represents an agreement. If I am required, by our intelligent legislation, to present a prescribed notice and haven't I wonder if I am now at some increased risk, ya know Shelter and all that.
