hello, strange question (that came up in an even stranger conversation!) - is it legal for someone to set up a small business as a landlord, then buy their current house and rent it back to themselves? Im sure it isn’t and i don’t want to loose a bet!
In the UK!

I’ve heard that if you live in your apartment XXX years, certain repairs are considered natural (e.g. carpet, etc). Is this true and if so, how long do you have to live in your apartment in CA? Best answer will be given if a source is sited as well.

I’ll be moving out of my current apartment soon and during the course of opening and closing the bedroom door over carpet without clearance, the bottom of the door is starting to “splinter”. More specifically its the super-thin wooden sheet on the surface of the door thats begining to come off in random patches. Is there an easy fix that might come close to the same texture/height?

Repossession

Im currently looking for a Studio Flat/Bed-sit in North London around Highgate and surrounding areas, Tufnell Park, Kentish Town, Archway, Gospel Oak, Belsize Park and Hampstead.
Unfortunately i have a very poor credit history due to my time at university.
I have just moved down to London from Liverpool and can provide work references, personal references and also can get a guarantor if needed.

Does anybody know if there is an Estate Agent i could use to find and rent a property?

Passive Income

we are renting out the flat at the back of the house here in NSW to my wifes brother. as he is family we did not take a bond etc (first mistake).
he has been there for just over a year now and has not once paid the rent on time (sometimes days late, sometimes a month late). He also took it upon himself to remove the bathroom, so that we could renovate for him (without checking first, so now the flat has no bathroom). There is also the constant noise, late nights and lack of help around the yard. We gave 1 months notice to be out, but that was 2 months ago. In that time he has only applied for 3 houses, and been refused all of them (they both have bad or no references). He also decided to move in his girl friend an
her 4 kids. Any ideas? Anyone out there want a tenant? we feel that we cannot just throw him out because of the kids, but we are running out of other options.
Thanks

Rent Back Fast

recently my fiance and I made an offer on a home. The home is still for sale as of 2007 ( almost 1 year). Our realtor isn’t much of keeping into contact with us. Our mortgage lender is explaining to us that we need “secure” jobs before we can be approved for our loan. The problem is that we would have to rent an apartment sign a lease for a year and then wait until our lease is up to move into the home since we have no family in the area to stay at. Motel wise, way way too much! and signing a years lease isn’t what we are looking for.

Is it possible to contact the seller and ask to lease ( rent the home) until we are able to be approved for the loan? If so, how can I find out the seller’s information. Name, phone number to get into contact with him?

Does this sound good or is it a really bad idea?
