Landlords must declare mortgage arrears or court proceedings related to property
This petition is to make it law that a landlord must declare whether there are any ongoing court proceedings in relation to the property being let (such as repossession, power of sale etc) and/or any mortgage arrears prior to a tenancy agreement being issued.
In November 2015 I took out a 12 month assured tenancy agreement with no break clause. 4 months into the tenancy it became apparent that our landlord was in mortgage arrears prior to our tenancy, that repossession proceedings had began regarding the property and that a further court case meant that power of sale was provided to a third party to dispose of the property. As tenants we should have been made aware of these issues prior to our tenancy beginning given the complications this creates.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
