Radiator Valves not working - breach of 'good working order obligation'
My flat in London has an old central heating system for the whole building. The temperature control knobs have not been working for a number of years which has not been a problem. New tenants moved in, who were made aware of this and signed tenancy agreement. Now they are claiming its too hot and I am in breach of my landlord obligations to keep heating in 'good working order'. The only way I can fix situation is to get drain down of whole building (circa $3-4k) and then replace with new valves. I am based overseas and so any assistance and advice is greatly appreciated...

Too many tennants!
I rented my property (a 3 bed semi) to my 2 adult tennants almost 2 years ago. Although they pay the rent, since then she has had 2 more adults move in. When I challenged her, she stated that it was a friend she was helping out whose marriage had ended and that it was for a few weeks only. That was 7 months ago. Since then her son has also moved in after he split with his girlfriend. Aside from the fact I have no idea where they are all sleeping as the third bedroom is a box room, where do I stand with the mortgage etc? The rent agreement states two adults and I feel like she's fobbing me off my essentially sub-letting....

is liable - the tenant or the property management company, and what can I do about it (landlord)
I rented a house for the past 32 months via a property management company. It was rented to some one on housing benefit. The payments were in advance and lunar calendar months (every 4 weeks not monthly - ie 13 payments per year). After doing year ones accounts 13 payments had gone through my account/ books so hadn't notice the tenant had started to fall behind. The following year I did the reconciliation and noticed she was a period behind somewhat, which coincided with her leaving the property. After fully reconciling I realise I am 3 and 1/2 periods behind in the rent as she hadn't paid for 6 weeks prior to leaving. The management company have said they they have the £500 bound but I am still out about £900. Is there anything I can claim off either the tenant or the property management company. Do I go to a solicitor? and what are my chances? Can I sell the debt on to a bailiff - a bit drastic I know but maybe the threat may encourage a payment?...

help - need advice re repairs
I need to get some internal & external repairs done and have arranged a builder who said that the work would take 1 - 2 days and could be done on Thusday.

My management company have backed the clients. Is this fair? What can I do?...

Compensation from managing agents
I have full management by agents on a property I own. The managing agents have organised a repair to a water leak very slowly, so much so that the property was deemed uninhabitable. They basically forgot to action anything on two occasions. Tenants are seeking large compensation for furniture damage etc as well as other costs I will have to pay to return the property to a fit state. Do I have a claim against the agents, and if so how do I go about claiming from them?...

The rental agency has been trying to relet the property and it has been empty for 2.5 months As the property is adjacent to my home I noticed a eater leak. On inspection (after telling the agency I needed to go in) I found damage in roof and immersion leaking.
I informed agents that work needed to tale place SMS they informed tenant. However, as the work was so costly I allowed the builders to stay in the property for 4 nights. During this time, the tenant turned up and i told him of this fact. Later the same evening the tenant turned up with the police at midnight claiming squatters were in the property. Ge was highly agitated and I refused to allow him access as he had taken his things earlier in the day. I am aware that I in the wrong but I did verbally inform the agency and now have mailed them.
