Do rental contracts reflect caveats of purchaser contracts?

[Lou1913]

Hi please help a beleaguered (naive?) home owner out…… if as a ‘buyer’ there are restrictions and caveats in the contract at the point of purchase do these still apply to a tenant if the house is rented out? Are they mentioned in a rental contract?

Specifically relating to - not blocking shared access points / paths or using next doors driveway thereby blocking cars and outbuildings!!! Also not running a business from the home. And by that I appreciate working from home is a recent thing due to covid but I’m referring to having people come to the home for say beauty treatments or 7 day week childminding services….for example!

Until now it has never been a problem in over 20yrs…..all I want is to freely come and go from my home without the need to pole vault obstructions or be held up asking for cars to move out of my way. I was tutted at when I asked for clear access to the path for an appliance delivery and have even been blocked in overnight.

I have approached the current tenant and was met with a less than harmonious reaction about the amount she pays and what a come down this is from her rural detached property. Since then both her and her ‘visitors’ have slightly improved in parking with some days better than others.

It’s literally like it’s okay for her needs and existence to encroach and impact mine and I’m left feeling like my existence/home is inconsequential…..

Yes the conditions bind tenants too.

My late Mother lived in a block of flats where there was only one parking space per flat. In reality even couples who lived there may genuinely need a second car for work/mitigate for poor public transport.

Add shared houses with 2 couples and abuse of the visitor spaces was widespread.

After pressure from owner/occupiers the freeholder's managing agent acted and told them to behave and park off site.

The landlord should have made it clear to the tenants that these restrictions are binding on them. If they have failed to do so, that is their problem. If you aren't getting anywhere with your neighbours, you need to approach the landlord or their agent.
