Open Question: Would You Take The Council Flat?
Hi there Just asking for general advice really and opinions. Here's the background: About six months ago I started experiencing huge problems with my then landlord and knew I needed to get away from the place I was in in Manchester so I applied to the council for council housing. Bidding every week and not hearing back. Just as I was about to move to a bed and breakfast in Blackpool just to escape where I was a friend found me a privately rented furnished one bedroom flat for £350 a month in Manchester. Every six months the tenancy needs to be renewed when I also need to pay the managing agent a £75 "renewal fee" (if it is renewed of course!). A few days ago a letter from the Council suddenly came out of the blue offering me a 2 bedroom council flat. The cost working out to about £220 a month. It would have been a property I bid on about two months ago - hence it being so unexpected! The problem is that where I am right now there is still 4 months of the tenancy left in place. I spoke to the Citizens Advice and they said that there is no way out of the tenancy without being liabel for the full 4 months rent. So, basically, I would need to do a "runner" or pay four months rent to leave (that I can't afford). Obviously there are huge pros to taking the council property - more secure, not £75 every six month fee, right to buy, bigger place, cheap home insurance and furniture packages offered by them, etc. The biggest disadvantage is that I would indeed need to do a "runner" to be able to move there. Also, it is in a slightly rougher area of Manchester than where I am now - but that's not a huge problem if I am sensible at night. Also, if I turn down the council property, I probably won't get offered another one. So, my question is, would you guys risk doing the runner and take on the council property? Or just stay put? Sub-letting of either place is not an option - in terms of the council I don't have that right until I have been there for a year. In where I am now it's also not an option according to the contract. Also, I think the landlord would probably be fine about me moving out early - it's the managing agent that would kick up a huge fuss (he's a *very* slimy kind of guy) - for example, he has in the contract that I can be kicked out if I am more than 7 days late with the rent (which, obviously, is unenforcable by law it has to be 8 weeks late) - but he still does things like that. Also, if I mentioned to the Landlord about it and it was denied that I could leave early then he would know about my plans so it would make things harder. (more...)

Resolved Question: need help on tenancy deposit protection scheme!?
I am concerned as we signed our lease and paid our deposit in jan 2007 and the tenancy deposit protection scheme didn't come into force until april 2007.We are planning to move out due to badly needed repairs in the flat (beyond our control, faulty pipework causing us to not have proper full hot water for 4 months)and our landlord has been very difficult and slow in carrying these repairs out. We asked to reduce the rent slightly until the repairs have been carried out (we could barely stay in the flat without hot water so were staying mostly at friends)but she refused. We want to move out when the lease expires in jan but are afraid of losing our deposit. We re-signed the lease for a year in jan 2008 if that makes a difference but no money changed hands as we had already paid the deposit a year prior. Also, in london, is it compulsory for landlords to be registered? I have a strong feeling ours is not and would certainly like to report her to the council! (more...)
