Never even heard of this until I read the article, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-EVICTED.html, I'm sure there is some exaggeration in the reporting, but in if there is a Royal Household tenancies which are except, aren't we all meant to be in the same boat?
Royal Household tenancies

It was theft, plain and simple. If they needed the electricity they should have asked first. and having been given permission, arranged for a qualified electrician to install the correct socket. They weren't given permission but went ahead anyway. If a tenant was stealing off me, I'd evict them too. If a tenant was messing about with the electricity in a dangerous way, I'd evict them. Who knows what they'd be up to next?

I live close to lots of Crown Estate (1 mile from Windsor Great Park). Crown estate is owned by the people, having been given to the state by George III in exchange for paying off his debts & getting a guaranteed large annual bung (initially civil list then sovereign grant, was 15% of CE profits bumped up to 25% by Gideon Osborne, yes the one who stuffed landlords over tax). Yet a certain family still continue to claim they own it, together with their excellently paid legal advisers.
From time to time Great Park advertises properties for rent. I emailed them a couple of times, asking for details (being bleedin' nosey). They are standard ASTs, but clearly falling out with the Crown Estate (chief ranger, a role in existence for over 1,000 years is Duke of Edinburgh...) is unwise: Powerful friends. Suspect they went knowing it was the prudent thing to do.
Two of my relatives have dined at Windsor Castle.
But yes, shouldn;t have "stolen" (abstracted) the leccy.I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

Reply to Tenants claiming damaged clothingby jpkeatesThe 1972 Defective Premesis Act as it happens, but there's a general principle of Tort running in parallel.
The issue is does the landlord owe the tenant a duty if care in relation to the thing that caused the loss, was that duty breached and was there a reasonably foreseeable loss?...-

We stayed in the property from November to march without any problems.

Reply to County court bailiffsby jpkeatesI think we have to be realistic, there's nothing in the current government plans about when people will be able to mix indoors, or when working in someone else's property will be allowed.
I'd say that's the point at which it will become impossible to keep the stay on bailiffs.

Reply to Tenants claiming damaged clothingby weirdfishJust ignore it unless they get a solicitor on the case, they've had their deposit back, they've moved out after giving notice, just change the locks, ( just in case they want to get back in for some reason ), and move on.

by alex1I’m a tenant. I had a new consumer unit fitted last week off the back of an EICR inspection. I was asked to not be in the property while the work was carried out (and I wouldn’t have wanted to be anyway, due to COVID, noise, and the general inconvenience of not having electricity, in that order)....
