The "Which?" Guide to Renting and Letting ("Which?" Consumer Guides) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

A guide which covers renting and letting from both the landlord's and tenant's point of view, taking into account the Housing Act 1996. Among the items covered are: different types of tenancies (including the right to buy and right to repair schemes, and security of tenure); housing associations; repairs and service charges; harassment; unlawful eviction; and proceedings for taking - and defending - possession. It answers questions from "Who pays the council tax?" and "How much of my deposit should I expect to get back from the landlord when I leave?" to the legal position on repairs to property. It also covers long leases on flats and houses, the right to buy the freehold, and practicalities such as inventories, meter readings and household insurance.
