Do landlords need a witness


Miss Jones was saying to me just the other day that she wanted to sign up for a further 6 months tenancy which I was naturally very pleased about. Particularly given that as rents are rising I can slap on a nice healthy rent increase.

Where do professional landlords go for their buy-to-let insurance?

Now I know because of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme that I will have to deposit the tenancy deposit funds with one of the approved tenancy deposit schemes. This is a pain because I've been keeping the cash in my old tea caddy just in case I might be able to tempt Miss Jones on a romantic little weekend to 'Skeggy'. So far she has being playing very hard to get.

One thing that I am excited about is that, because an Assured Shorthold Tenancy is classed as a short lease by the Law of Property Act 1925 it does not need to be signed as a 'deed' and therefore we don't need a witness. This is great because it gives me the opportunity of a little bit more 'quality' time with Miss Jones during the signing of the Tenancy Agreement.

I wonder if she likes Salsa....no forget that, I can't dance....what I need is another plan.
