Originally posted by vwdan View PostNo. At best it might form part of your evidence in court to demonstrate your reasonably held belief or something, but....no. Why would the land registry title plan have any bearing on a contract? It most certainly doesn't form a "go to" or any kind of iron clad proof.
For a start, there's no requirement to update it with additions - certainly not things built under PD. So if the kitchen was extended under PD, would you be happy for the landlord to throw the land registry plan at you and tell you had no reasonable expectations to use the back 3 meters of the house?"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Thank you for all the responses.
The problem I am faced with is I rented a property for CFL Jr to be closer to the hospital where she works. It consists of a garage block, the main house and a work shop. The land and house s gated with a 8 metre high fence around it.
In the first 3.5 weeks the Landlord & his wife have shown up unannounced on 6 occasions to "do the gardening"*. Despite multiple calls asking them only to attend the property announced, they ignore these and show up (letting themselves through the gate with their key) on sunny days which is exactly when she wants to enjoy the garden. As an ST2 (SHO) working night shifts in an A&E department this is causing her significant stress.
It's a managed contract through a lettings agency and the manager of the lettings agency agrees this is excessive and has attempted to talk to them. They will agree verbally and completely ignore what they agreed.
It is invasive & got to the point within a month that my daughter does not feel like this is her home, rather an airbnb on a long term contract in the middle of someones garden.
The justification given is that they need to get tools out of the shed.

Surely what is rented is detailed in the rental agreement e.g. This agreement is to rent the house& garden at 22 railway cuttings the shed at the bottom of the garden is excluded and access is granted to the Landlord?
It is possible to have multiple dwellings on one title plan so I doubt it should be just the title plan.
Originally posted by Scruff View PostAny half-decent Rental Agreement will specify what the rental covers (apartment / house / garage / car parking space) and any specific exclusions (ie loft space / garage / shed). If it doesn't clear it up with the Landlord / Agent.
Originally posted by northernladuk View PostSo what's the situation here? You've signed a poor contract and are now in dispute with the landlord, or you've seen an opportunity to sign a poor contract that gives you the possibility to push the boundaries?
I know the law is pretty black and white in certain things, like the land registry has nothing to do with the rental but context could very much change what the possible outcome would be.
Either way, don't sign contracts that don't have exclusions or clauses where there should be some to cover unknowns like this. Raise it, get them in so it's crystal clear, sign document.Comment

Quiet enjoyment of property is the phrase your daughter needs for defence.
"The landlord is preventing my quiet enjoyment of the property." You are almost onto breach of contract with that.
I hope your daughter gets it sorted soon her job is very stressful as it is!
Landlord probably is unaware of landlord and tenant act - this would NOT surprise me.
Any questions ask and I know a few legal chaps and chappeses that work this field if you need them.Former IPSE member

What led you to the assumption I was being a clever bugger?Comment

Originally posted by clearedforlanding View PostThank you. It's the hyper-frequency of the visits that are disturbing the quiet enjoyment of the property as well as the lack of notice. Imagine in the days you were renting your landlord and his wife wandering around your garden twice a week - it would drive me nuts.
How to deal with landlord harassment - Shelter England
Write to your landlord to tell them to stop harassing you - for example, if they are:- accessing the property without giving you notice
- disturbing or disrupting you
My understanding is it is your daughters home first, then their property afterwards. Its like you popping round to your neighbours twice a week without asking them.Last edited by vetran; 2 July 2020, 11:28.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Its all over the landlord and tenant act.
I am sorry I can't dig out the relevant bits for you. I am not very well and I have a stack to get through today.Former IPSE member
