Agent Rainmaker

Hi Guys,

Advice needed, one of our student properties last night had a party of 30 plus people in the early hours and police etc were called (we have gone into tier 3 after lockdown)
Has anyone had to deal with this yet ?
I'm going to the property today and spoken to the lead tenant who is coming across as sorry.
I'm thinking of sending letters to all tenants warning about the party and the fact of the lockdown and also writing to their guarantors as well...
Any advice before i do the letters would be great.

Feeling sad! So today we heard the news that one of our tenants had passed away. It really is sad. He was a tenant we placed with a let only landlord, however, we have a close relationship with that landlord and keep in touch. This tenant was wheelchair bound and amazingly, our landlord had this brand new bungalow, totally equipped for their disabled daughter who never ended up moving in and he got to let it! Anyway, we don't have too many details yet but he wasn't even 60 and all I can say is bless that man and we're all really happy he got to live in that bungalow for the time that he did. 😞 😢

Quick Question:
If a tenant pays 6months rent in advance, is it best practise for us to pay that all to the landlord straight away, or hold it and pay it monthly?

How has the second lockdown impacted your business?

Hi, does anyone have an Assured Tenancy they can share with me? I have plenty of AST's but need an Assured Tenancy. Thank you.

Hi all - has anyone used 'netanagent'? We get regular emails about submitting proposals to win instructions locally. I presume you have to pay for the service or a percentage of your fee to them. I've read less than favourable things online but wondered if anyone had any success?

Hi I need help.

The out of ours phone has called and we have identified that a tenant in a HMO property has via 3rd party and told tenants has tested postitive for covid19

Tonight we have informed our staff and contractors not to attend the property without a designated member permission

The landlord agrees

We are emaiing tenants of the HMO to advise of the situation

What the f**k do we do next basically

As all tenants share the same bathrooms and kitchen I persume they Isolate as a house

As it is a HMO should we inform the local authority ? As we will not be conducting our standard weekly fire checks and inform the fire authority of this risk

Any HMO managing agents able to assist?

I know it is Sunday night but this is new territory to me

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Rainmakers I need a little advise with regards to a disclaimer. We have a property we are managing on behalf of a landlord which has an open staircase, banister down one wall but totally open the other side. I have spoken to them at length explaining from a health and safety point of view this is not acceptable and suggested ways to remedy the situation. They are not having it and insist on leaving it as it is. I have new tenants moving in with small children who insist it is not a problem and wish to move forward as it is. Would you just o a disclaimer for both parties? If so what is the best wording? Thank you so much as this is troubling me. TIA

Can anyone recommend a company that they are using to set up their social media marketing and Facebook ads?

Also the automation process through drip or something similar.

Ideally for them to set up and run for property sales?

Thanks — looking for recommendations.

WTF! Are you kidding me??

How securing possession of your rental property has changed
As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, Welsh Government has announced new Regulations that temporarily extend the minimum notice periods landlords must give to tenants with Assured and Assured Shorthold tenancies. These will come into effect on Friday 24th July 2020. In summary, this means that:
A 6 month notice period will apply to section 8 notices issued on or after 24 July 2020 except those issued on grounds relating to anti-social behaviour (for which a 3 month notice period will continue to apply); and
A 6 month notice period will apply to notices issued on or after 24 July 2020 under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988
Welsh Government has produced the following frequently asked questions which should answer any questions you have.
