Hi,

Sorry to post about my landlord again but I need some more advice.

We have lived in the property since 27th July 2013 and have been on a 6 month tenancy up until now. So we renew in Jan and July of each year.

The landlord is constantly late in bringing us a new tenancy so it goes to a rolling tenancy (I have posted about this before). Today my landlord rang and mentioned the new tenancy. I said it should of been sorted in July and his excuse was "I have been out he country" I might add this is the excuse he uses every time we need to get hold of him and we cant.

Anyway I knew he wanted to increase the rent so I asked if he had any idea what it was going up to. He then said well because of the 2 months that have passed I will have to decide how much is owed and then go forward from there.

Now I have three questions.

1. Are we under any obligation to pay back any increase in rent because we didn't have a new tenancy? We just carried on paying what we had been paying for the last 36 months?

2. When he is late with the tenancy he likes to put the original date down instead of the date signed which was late. This time however I think if he does that and we sign it we will be liable for back payment as we have signed it. Should we refuse to sign it unless the date is the same we signed it?

3. He is coming around on Tuesday to "talk" about the tenancy but our rent comes out on the same day. The rent comes out as a standing order quite early Tuesday morning but he is coming around after 5pm. So if we signed a new tenancy with an increase on the Tuesday say at 6pm. Would we be liable for the for the increase since the money has already left? We will pay it if we are liable but not if we don't have to.

Sorry for the long post and any further info needed please do ask.

Many thanks
