Goes to show all landlords must check the rental histories of potential tenants!
Is there or could there be a national database of tenants and their rental history, with written submissions from previous landlords?
Maybe we need to investigate Landlord Insurance for these types of tenants? So landlords can claim back for time lost during Tribunal hearings, getting tenants out and loss of rent. Is this type of insurance available? Is it tax deductable?……..Do it your way.
It does seem silly and that the tenants have a greater balance of power.
One thing to check out though, is if they are 14 days behind in rent and you DO evict them in the following 7 days, for a total process of 3 weeks….Could you claim the bond money in lost rent and time delay in finding new tenants?
If so, you aren’t behind money wise, just worse off for the inconvienience with the possibility of getting better tenants – and a better understanding of the Tribunal system.Also I believe that anyone is able to go and sit in on cases presented to the Tenancy Tribunal. So it can be good experience to go and listen to other landlords/tenants disputes, see how the process is managed and what kind of outcomes the Tribunal decides. Benefits being to see if it is a worthwhile option for any future hassles you may have with tenants and to get a better understanding of the rights/responsibilities of both parties.
Good luck![medieval]
