Help understanding tenants rights moving out

[KidneyBeanie]

Tennant been in for 9years, has a contract with one months notice.
Is that 4 weeks from the date of notice or a full calendar month past the end of the current month?
Can the landlord insist on showing new tenants the property before they’ve moved out? How much notice do they have to give and how often is it allowed? Especially if the property is in disarray being packed up.
Can the landlord ask the tennant to fix things that would be covered by the bond or a landlord should have been doing over the years and requested by the tennant?
How many inspections are allowed and do these happen before the Tennant moves out?

9 years? Everything needing fixing will be considered fair wear and tear.

You can ask nicely if they mind people viewing but they are allowed to say no.

The usual rules apply. 24 hours notice minimum for ll to access property but tenant does not have to allow viewings. Most ast and rolling tenancy agreements are two months' notice for ll, one fir tenant and taken from the day rent is paid. Not sure what you mean by repairs being covered by the bond, typically the property should be returned as it was taken over, so picture hooks etc removed and made good.

You don't have to allow viewings but its good practice to. Offer a couple of fixed slots and don't deviate from that.
The check out and check in/inventory should be compared and I would expect quite a bit of wear and tear in 9 years but it will need to be agreed upon, The deposit scheme should adjucate.
The contract should give information about giving notice

If it’s through an agency and contracted then there might be particular requirements specific to that property. I knew of other tenants leaving their properties in a state and nothing came of it. The next tenant would have to clean the house. This was our situation. When we moved into our old house, it was in a poor condition anyway, damp and in need of a renovation, along with the fact that the previous tenants had not cleaned anything, probably for the duration of them living there. When we left we deep cleaned the house and the carpets as per the rental agreement as we wanted our deposit back. We moved out during Covid, so no viewings ha ha ha.

We had 2 months notice should the landlady decided to sell and 1 months notice for us moving out as far as rent payment went.

Private rental accommodation is in a shit state anyway, overpriced, usually damp unfit dwellings and the landlords are laughing all the way to the bank. So why should the onus all be on the tenant to make the property is in good condition. Landlords have the responsibility too.

24 hours notice for entry but best to be reasonable and suggest a period of time for entry and set up all viewings in that slot. 4 weeks is typically rolling though I've seen I be in rental months.

Wear and tear over 9 years should be put into context so should you be expecting to paint throughout and new flooring etc so when I was a landlord I would only consider a deposit reduction for damage eg holes in walls needing re plastering, broken windows, bathroom or kitchen unit damage - so pretty bad damage. The only thing I'd expect a tenant to do would be to repaint if they have painted the walls a dark colour as that requires a lot more coats

Hi. Just about to market our property. We are wanting to move to a small market town not far from the main city we currently live in. It will be our last move so want to make sure it’s the right property although understand there will be compromises to be made. The search I feel will be difficult as the area is much smaller so less available property’s.
if we find a buyer but still haven’t found a property should we accept the offer ? I don’t want to be in a position where we can’t find somewhere and let the buyer down. Could we say we won’t accept any offers until we find a property should?

Can you ask for the tenant to not be there with the landlord inspection if the agents are accompanying? Or ask the tenant to move stuff out before the landlord inspection, if they have started packing things into boxes?

Bump for last question

No you can't. It's their home until they move out. Well, I mean you can ask them anything, they don't need to comply

Thanks, I have been asking on behalf of my relative who’s being told to leave their accommodation for the second time so their landlord can look around. I said they should stay and they’re not allowed to look in cupboards and drawers. They were also asked to move stuff out to storage before the landlord looked around, after knowing they were packing up!
