deept: Its in force already. I was planning to increase the rent early this month (Scotland you need to give tenants 3 months advance notice and you can only increase the rent once every 12 months). That plan is dead in the water now. I heard the ban is in place still march next year. I won't put it past nicola sturgeon to extend the ban. A ban is also in place for evictions. Thank goodness I have very good tenants and I use a reputable managing/letting agency. Still not stopping from buying another "buy to let". I'm currently in the market looking for the next ideal property 6 Likes 1 Share |

Long and short, keep calm, stand your ground firm. God save the king, accept the queen. While at it, beware of shifting your statements, and too much robin turanchi. Belize you've talked too much and shifted! In law, on the basis of balance of probability, you might come out as more unreliable out of the two, hence found less credible!! Also, ensure you keep your voice calm as practicable as you calm. Dish, difficult at times!!! [Caveat]: this is not a binding legal opinion or advice in law. Adazeal: 1 Like |

LagosismyHome:Thank you. I actually tried to see if there were switches I could flick but there were lots of them and I was being careful not to end up amplifying the issue or even introducing a whole new problem altogether. |

deept: This shouldn't stop landlords from wanting to be landlords. All it most likely will do is to penalise renters, by making landlords with empty properties hike their rents now before they let them out and select only the absolute best of the best tenants (on paper). Those who dont have really good paying jobs, excellent references, etc, will have to cough up 6 - 12 months rent in adavance, that sort of thing. Some other landlords will definitely decide the hassle is not worth it and turn to the short-term let market, but I don't see landlords leaving the market because of the new ban or the possibility of its extension. House prices likely to remain where they are or even continue increasing, the shortage of supply is still desperate. 2 Likes |

Ralphlauren: Please o, my Landlord increased my rent without any notice and others haven't had their rent increased (mine is a new contract / renewal) I noticed it seems the property has a new owner and a new company now manages it. Is it something I can contest? |

[quote author=Maturedhustler post=109683542] Thanks Chreze for always having me in mind. I appreciate the all responses (Healthyliving, Umarwy and Pearlyfaze) on my issue. I cherished the sincere advices. I am already working out on keeping the kids here but will like to give more insight. My 16yr kid will turn 17 by April and was in final class in Nigeria b4 we moved. He is expected to register for WAEC latest tomorrow, write WAEC & JAMB before June. I have not be able to secure permanent accommodation yet and all my kids are not back to school after 3wks in Scotland. I am just thinking allowing him to return will give additional opportunity to possibly apply to any other university/college outside UK. I know that will be at a cost. @ Maturedhustler. I am in the same situation presently. Coming to UK via study route. Plan to be in UK this year with my daughter who will be resuming in her final class here in Nigeria this September and therefore due to write her WAEC exam in May/June next year. Pls how did you resolve the issue of your own 16 yrs kid mentioned above? |

lowander: £50k is a very decent salary even for a family. What part of UK would you be living in cos if it's London, for instance, it won't be as good a Salary anymore. |

I also suggest you let it slide. It is unfortunate that you did not know about checking the circuit breaker. However, it will be hard for you to argue that it is the landlord's responsibility to pay for the callout. As a general rule, the tenant is responsible for switching back on a tripped circuit breaker while the landlord is responsible for replacing a damaged/broken circuit breaker. Cleanworld: Adazeal: |

Bourne007: I think there is a clause in the contract which says it can be renewed Didnt have strength for back and forth arguments and lloking for a new house so I just signed |

hustla: I don't know where you're based. But what I posted is the rules in Scotland Its so bad that 12months minimum or 6 months minimum tenancy agreement is illegal. Tenants are on a monthly rolling contract. I use a letting agent, so they adhere strictly to the legal framework. |

The thing I'm enjoying now is watching BBC and seeing the King of England driving in a small 3 car convoy along the road I used to follow from Uxbridge to central London. Outriders clearing the road smoothly, moving in and out, the convoy passing ordinary traffic in other lanes as usual, of course the aerial, ground and other security must be tight and all that, but ordinary motorists are barely affected. On the other hand, if any of those bloody wankers in power in Naija were to be passing somewhere... 7 Likes |

ugoonuoha: When you reapply, you will be asked if you have a pending application awaiting a decision and prompted to provide UAN/GWF number, if you select yes. The old application will be nullified, I am not sure what happens to the previous IHS after biometric as I didn't pay (applied for Health and care visa). But the visa fee for old application will be forfeited. |
