Ray Sutton I suspect!! Outrageous comment and clearly someone who has is not being screwed by feckless tenants?

Thanks all. Am I right in thinking that the Covid eviction ban applies to those breaching contractual terms as well as non-payment?

Thanks Jacob, but unfortunately I have just checked and it would seem that the tenant has been able to register the property as a catering premises?? When I asked the council how this was possible they explained that anyone can apply for a licence at any address???

Not helpful Sebastian...

My tenant (Company Let) seem to believe they have been relieved of their obligation to pay. They have recommended I take a mortgage holiday..?! You couldn't write this nightmare!! Meanwhile, they have just now registered an additional/new company at my address... My fear is they will try to manipulate this into a claim that they have a Commercial Lease rather than a Company Tenancy Agreement. My solicitor is as much use as a chocolate fireguard, and all the time the Government is protecting these frauds!! Has anyone had experience of this before please? A Company Tenancy (Directors living and carrying out administrative work at house) trying to argue that they are using the house for commercial purposes and therefore have a Commercial Lease?

Thanks Andrew. the company let is for residential use... albeit the Directors run several businesses from home. Think I'm going to have to ride this one out and get my ducks in a row ready for end of eviction curfew in 3 months time... I'll be counting the days (and an enormous loss of income).

Hindsight is an incredibly frustrating thing right? What was your experience yrs ago Andrew? How did you resolve matters in the end? If it weren't for the latest Government Guidance on Covid-19, I could enact Clause 5.4 of the NLA standard Company Tenancy Agreement which all parties signed, which states: We reserve the right to re-enter the Property (subject always to any statutory restrictions on our power to do so) and immediately thereon the tenancy shall terminate without prejudice to our other rights and remedies if: 5.4.1 the Rent is unpaid 14 days after becoming payable whether it has been formally demanded or not; and/or 5.4.3 you cease trading for whatever reason; My hands are tied and the tenants are laughing at me...

I rent my home to a Limited company, the two directors (who refer to themselves as Baron and Baroness one day, and Lord and Lady the next) occupy the house on a company let. The pair of them drive around in two Bentleys and a Porche, telling anyone who will listen how terribly well they are doing... Along comes Covid-19 and my tenants are publishing their contrary views on social media, slaying the Government for how they are handling this crisis... then surprise surprise, they claim they cannot pay the rent and suggest I take a mortgage holiday...!!! I don't have a BTL mortgage... and very much fear that these scumbags will milk this situation for as long as they can, then fold the company leaving me with no recourse... I've read the Government's 'Consolidated Landlord and Tenant Guidance' and nowhere does it protect us LL's from opportunists...
