Low Horatio gearbox Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The modern Volvo has an rumbly wheel bearing and the stereo will no longer go loud enough to drown it out. I've not actually been able to have a close inspection as the locking wheel nuts have all been gunned up good-n-proper and the locking wheel chuck/socket no longer fits.....

Popsicle Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Other than hitting folk with a cricket bat thats how I've been since the wrist op 11 days ago. First check up today, nice to get the heavy cast off, healing up nicely, even though the skin on my arm looks like a cross between ET and my nutsack. Put straight back into a splint though, caution is the name of the game, so other than weekly check ups this bloody thing is on for the next month or two. To be honest it hurt like hell when unsupported, so probably no bad thing. Bugger, knuckles to past the elbow again, can't see me working or getting the underseal on the fleet for a while.

Pieman Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Apparently the landlord of my girlfriend's house has put the property up for sale. The first she knew about it is when someone put a for sale board outside it without even telling her, and she was sitting inside it at the time. Can they legally do that??

They can stick a board where they want. Yes, they can market the property (whilst she gets quiet enjoyment of the house, access must be given when requested correctly). They may advertise it with a sitting tenant (unlikely but possible) but she should expect a section 21 notice to land soonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to sell it to another landlord all they'd need to do was provide her with an amended tenancy agreement. I'm sure they're about to urgently need to move back into the home that used to be their permanent residence though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Gov't is actually planning to abolish Section 21 in the next term of parliament, on the grounds it's unfair on tenants. Sooner the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Unlikely they'll completely abolish it - even in Scotland where the rules are now *much* stricter for evictions, some of the grounds for eviction are common with those you'd issue a S21 for.

omegod Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 We are away to Fuerteventura tomorrow for a week, just realised it's 15kg luggage allowance not 20 as it usually is, my unpacking is akin to a scene from "The Martian" when he's stripping the spaceship to shed weight Why the fuck have I packed 15 t shirts ?

We had a house sold from under us whilst renting in Shrewsbury. Landlord had 4-5 properties let out and split from his Mrs She demanded he sold them and split the money so he put them on the market for something like 50k over market value to discourage any buyers. Kept us on the loop and agreed with reasonable times for any viewings ect. We got 2 viewings and he had offers on them all within 3 weeks.. We got 2 months to find somewhere who would take 3 dogs as well as us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Sadly, yes he can sell it without involving you as long as potential buyers don't enter without the tenants knowledge. If the old landlord doesn't ask the tenant to leave by giving proper notice, the tenancy transfers to the new owner. The new owner will then have to give the usual notice period if they want a tenant to leave. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Yep, happened to us back in 2013. Letter arrived the same day the sign went up - the week before Christmas. That was fun! Wound up living in the hotel in Newport Pagnell services for a fortnight before we could get the keys to our next place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
