We have been in our house for over 20 years, at a very good rate as the landlord has done nothing to the house since we moved in. He now wants to double the rent, and has mooted he could get anyone in at the price he wants, so basically letting us know we could be out.
We moved in on an assured shorthold tennancy agreement, which has run for that whole time.
It does need loads of work doing. We still have the same kitchen from when we moved in, and it was pretty shabby then. It also doesn't have a working boiler or immersion, so only hot water is in the shower. Thank goodness for a dishwasher! I cant see anyone else wanting to move in at what he is asking, without all that sorted.
I was wondering does anyone know if we have any rights as tennants for so long, paying our rent every month (though some years its been a few months late, but always paid)? What about preferential (reduced) price to be able to buy it?
We are due a meeting with him soon, and will be speaking with CAB next week depending on the outcome of said meeting, but I thought someone on here is bound to have some ideas about this. Many thanks
