It is impossible for anyone to answer this question. It would require a crystal ball, and the ability to predict how much energy will cost, and how much someone will use.
Generally, the landlord should not be getting rent from two tenants at the same time for the same unit.
Yes. That's the short answer, but it's usually a condition of your lease.
There are landlord and owner liability insurances available. A good lease agreement and deposit for damages can also help you cover damages by tenants.
The main purpose of purchasing buy to let property insurance is so that the landlord owning the property is covered through insurance if the tenants damage the property.
If a landlord has an objection to a tenant and wishes to evict that tenant then yes, he does have to inform the tenant in question about the objection. Tenants must be given an opportunity to remedy the problem rather than being evicted.
In most cases you cannot. The landlord expects you to be a law abiding citizen. If you know you are getting incarcerated the landlord may let you break the lease because they would rather have some notice so they can line up prospective tenants.
Companies that offer "buy to let" landlord insurance include Direct Line, Quote Zone, and Click4Quote. Others include Instasure, Simple Landlord, and Endsleigh.
You do not allow them to move into the premises or you give up the idea of having the protection of a lease. Once you let them move in without signing a lease they are your problem. It should be noted that a tenant who refuses to sign a lease is giving you a loud message about what type of experience you can expect in the future.
Most leases have provisions for the owner giving notice if the tenants need to move. Usually it is 30 to 60 days and is written. Of course, it is more convenient to just not renew the lease. It may be cheaper and easier for you to move into an apartment in the interim and let the lease run its course.
Who owns the washing machine? If it is the upstairs tenant and he has tenants insurance (as you should) then his insurance pays. The landlords insurance company would also pay and your insurance company will take care of it all. Let them duke it out. If you are the landlord and you did not require your tenants to carry insurance...does the word "fool" mean anything to you now?
yes
Yes my sister broke her lease due to a medical issue. You need to explain your problem to your landlord and chances are he will let you out of your lease. If he doesn't, go to landlords and tenants court and ask for a show cause petition to break a lease. Have documentation supporting your claims.
