Abandoned Property

When times get hard the instances of tenants leaving without notice before a tenancy comes to an end increases. "Doing a runner", "skipping" "moonlight flitting" "Walking" or "return to sender" all indicate what in strict legal terms is known as abandonment of a tenancy. Often the landlord or agent does not know the property is vacant until rent payments stop, and if that is not monitored closely or regular checks carried out on the property, several weeks can go by before anyone is alerted to a vacant let, which in winter cost be suffering frost damage or even squatters. When tenants leave like this they often leave possessions behind. When belongings are left behind the landlord owes a legal duty of care to the tenant to protect them (Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977). This is the case even if the tenant is in rent arrears or has damaged the property. Many Landlords do not know the law and tenants can therefore bring a claim against them for damages. Dont make this mistake, give us a call if you have any questions.

Letting to Students

STUDENTS For many students this is their first experience away from home and having to fend for themselves. So it is safe to say that some are still a bit wet behind the ears! Now that they have moved in, most students will not realise that they have to start thinking about rent payments and setting up utility bills until it is too late. Landlords need to plan ahead and keep an eye on when the rents should be hitting their accounts. It is important to set a precendent from the start and make sure that tenants are chased immediately when the rent is due. This lets them know that late payments are not acceptable and teaches them an important lesson in life. Another problem we have found at Harringtons Lettings is that many student landlords are leaving themselves vulnerable by allowing their tenants to swap over mid-way through the tenancy. One Introduction Landlord from last year found that he was unable to take any action when the tenants left without having paid the last month’s rent and with the property in a terrible condition. He had allowed some tenants to move-in and some to move-out but hadn’t changed the legal paperwork or the tenancy agreement resulting in the guarantees being completely void. Should your tenants decide to swap over, Harringtons will be happy to help you fulfill all of the legal requirements and ensure that the paperwork is updated. There will be no charge to you as a Landlord and instead we ask that the tenants pay a fee for the work involved. Have you considered swapping over to a fully managed service? Harringtons Lettings offer very competitive fees. We are doing a special offer to new clients of 5% for a limited time!

Rude staff. And they think nothing of trespassing in your home well before the last 8 weeks (they can contractually come over anytime in the last 2 months if your not renewing) of your tenancy, pretending that they have given notice. I could go on, but they have enough dis-satisfied customers all over the internet so I'll let them have there say.

I have been renting out my property with Harringtons Lettings for the past 4 years and it has been going very well. I did have a problem with tenants when they didn't pay their rent. Harringtons were really helpful with dealing all the legal issues and at the end I got all my money back which was great. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking to rent your property out.
