Renting property uk

Interesting question.

I don't think a landlord is obliged to change locks, but could well be wrong.

No. It is your responsibility but not law.

No and you will need permission from the landlord to change the locks.

thanks guys


so I can change them and as long as I give the landlord a key then everything is hunky dorey and the landlord cannot stop me?

correct

Just go to lock shop in a town. Chat. Get new barrel for fiver. New deadlock and a draw bolt lock or two. Just do it without asking. Only way anyone ll tell is if they themselves tried sneaking in ie the landlord. Setup a webcam on door to cover this and general safety. Fifty quid the lot !!!!!

yes, landlord access is legal but only when he gives you the correct notice, not sure what the current legislation is now though

You don't need to give the landlord a key if you have a tenancy agreement.

some good replies here guys.

Also maybe move to dover kent v low crime plus nice people almost everywhere...

Haha what with all those immigrants coming over.

None here!!! just a handful say fifty that have kids that have kids but no big deal at all. Beautiful place by the sea. One million pounds of infrastructure in dover per person btw. London cant boast that. Hundreds of millions of new roads the tunnel. High speed trains. New freight terminsl in five years worth billions. Cruise liners hovercraft may come back. Tunnels wwii. Unspoilt vast countryside. Two airports near. Where are u all....?!!

Yup and a few hundred thousand illegals in Calais about to make their way over.

Yeah watching calais. But they are orphans of blairs bloodlust. And cameron re libya. Not immigrants. Thats brainwashing. I think if no one has a plan in time theyll fully storm calais and easily take over at least one ferry. Then who knows. But really its a myth. I was just in town for three hours. Only saw two chinsse guys and they were serving in shops. This is a special place. Its tipping it down with rain so i have time to tell u all. Land may be reclaimed to west of our harbour in future. This could be breathtaking. South facing maybe a half mile out to sea with full 180 degree sea views. Love it. Just wish i had more money and glp people here...

You forgot to mention the white cliffs. tut tut.

Why don't you wait till the property market collapses then you'd get something for a song!

Not long to wait now....

Op - osbourne wants 25-40 per cent more cuts. That'll be eqivalent to damage from invasion !!! which bit of our failed state are u in ? Bugout wise dover rocks even being near europe for full bug out and supplies in bad times ahead... London etc will be uninhabitable in 72hrs under all bad scenarios but millions still love living in box with no views , noise, pollution, crowds of people. Dont get it
