hi guys, more questions 
I have just had a copy of my tenancy agreement & read it cover to cover about 10 times, lol. I cant see any mention of bankruptcy or insolvency anywhere. Does this mean that when we do go bankrupt (have decided to wait till after christmas coz we need to buy a few essentials for the new place, Wardrobes ect.) that we will be safe & maybe the landlord wont even find out?
Also, what about moving? What do we do about the bills? do we have to keep paying the standing charges for gas & electric because we wont be giving the keys back till after christmas. & what about the council tax?
Thanks again in advance

Hi
If you leave the property you can let the council tax people know it is empty and they stop charging you council tax. If you are not living in the property I would say it was not necessary to pay the standing charges, and the debt would be caught up in the bankruptcy anyway.
The OR has to contact your landlord just in case you have perhaps paid 12 months up front, or have arrears etc.

Thanks for the reply Suzanne,
if they do tell the landlord will he still be able to ask us to leave when there isn't a bankruptcy clause in the agreement? |

Hi Suzanne,
Does the OR ALWAYS contact the landlord? Even if through bankl statements etc, they can see that there are no arrears? |

Hi darren.
I've definitely heard of some cases where the LL hasn't had to be contacted, but I think it's the exception rather than the rule. Weplan to ask our OR if he/she hasto contact the LL and if the answer's yes, we'll get in first ad explai it to him ourselves in the hope he'll uderstand and let us stay!
Take care,
C. x |

As far as my experience goes they always contact the landlord. Anyone who hasn't would be due to an admin slip at the OR office.
