Chopsticks Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 That seems OK but surely you should not read the content? Depends if it looks interesting or not I suppose..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombay Bad Boy Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I've never signed (or even heard of) such a form, and the postie regularly leaves stuff by my door, even when I'm in. Sure he's got a round to do, but I think he could wait a bit longer than 10 seconds after ringing the bell, n'est-ce pas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

%age Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Off topic just a smidgeon, but I act as an agent for some flats on behalf of the owner. I keep away and don't hassle the tenants, anything they need I supply, I stay relaxed about the rent even though there is a fair bit due but there again I am not that stupid. For their peace and place in the world I stay at a distance. Thinking that the owner is distant and vulnerable, the sneaky fuckers have now decided they don't need my presence anymore and have changed the locks. I don't want to go down the 'legal' route, er yet... (thanks anyway John . . . .!) What would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 What would you do? I'd go down the legal route! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
%age Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 No. No, no, no, no, no I don't write write messages on internet forums at 01:17 at night to be given sound advice. What would you do (I promise to leave it, or at least consider it until late tomorrow morning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'd demand any outstanding rent and put the thing on a proper, formal footing. When one side starts slacking and not expecting the other to strictly observe the terms you run the risk of losing control, which is why you are your principal's agent, to look after his interests! It can be done in a nice, not heavy-Rachman, way, but that is what you should do. Opinion (not advice) voiced at 1.30 am; it will not change at 9.00 am.

John Wright Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Get legal advice quick Whether you as landlord or agent for landlord are entitled to keys and access is actually down to lease terms It may dedend which locks, individual flats or the front door to hall stairs and common areas If you try to force an entry you end up exposed to a burglary charge You could go round and ring on doors and ask for copies of the new keys but play safe, take a friend to observe. It is a criminal offence under the 1976 Act to harass tenants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
