Am guarantor persistently threatened by LL and his letting agent with LL's legal costs for implementing Section 8. No damage to property and no rent or bill arrears from tenant. Am quite worried and frightened. Where do I stand with regards to being sued, please.
Can LL Sue Guarantor For Any Costs Implementing Eviction Under Section 8?

There is a fine line between irony and stupidity. If I say something absurd please assume that I am being facetious.

So appreciative of your comments. LL owns flat in building with leaseholders who have different, large letting agency managing property for leaseholders. Other Ts have complained about person for whom I am guarantor. Other Ts agency threatening guarantee's LL with legal proceedings should LL does not evict my guarantee. In turn, LL threatens to pass all legal costs on to me. Complex, I know. There are definitely no rent arrears, damage to property or unpaid bills on part of guarantee T. LL claiming my guarantee has breached tenancy contract because of anti social behaviour and appears determined to use Section 8.

We just need to know what you have guaranteed before we can offer any useful observations.
There is no generic "guarantor liability", everything is contained in the specific agreement you have entered into.
When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

'The Guarantor shall pay and make good to the Landlord on demand all reasonable losses and expenses of the Landlord incurred as a result of default by the tenant in the performance or observance of the Tenant's covenants under the Tenancy Agreement'. LL states T has 'breached terms of tenancy agreement' by anti social behaviour.

That goes way beyond any normal guarantor agreement terms, you're essentially guaranteeing the tenant's compliance with the terms of the tenancy agreement.
Is the agreement a deed (rather than a contract) and had you seen the tenancy agreement when you signed it?When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.

Thank you, jpKeates. With no experience in the field, I did not assume that the statement went beyond 'normal guarantor agreement terms'. It is a contract, rather than a deed. 'Guarantor Agreement for residential lettings'. I saw the contract when signing it. It would seem that I, as G, am responsible to LL for another adult's behaviour. If that is the case, why would anyone choose to become a guarantor?

by JK0Ha! Do you think there is not likely to be any expensive remedial work, if they are only charging you £150 to inspect?

by sporter82I booked British Gas as they were quite reasonable at £150, I'm just worried if there is any remedial work required. Are they expensive when it comes to work done?

by red_boots2We rent out our flat and have an issue with the downstairs Neighbour complaining about noise from the Tenants.
I doubt very much the Tenants are making much noise to be honest as he has always been difficult. We had similar complaints from him after we moved in. We had new carpets put in...-

Reply to County court bailiffsby Display nameI didn't, but since the tenant hasn't engaged at any stage, including attending hearings, complying with orders, responding to texts, emails and letters, I think it's a good claim. He wouldn't even respond to requests to allow access to the Gassafe plumber for safety checks. The guidance says that...
