Hi Guys
Yes, sorry, this is another tale of woe, for which I apologise in advance....
FirstIy, I have Multiple Sclerosis, and as a result, can no longer work in my professional field.
For this reason, I have recently rented out my former home, as a means of a small extra income.
A very plausible young man viewed, and convinced me to take a chance on him, without references.....I know, I know, what the **** was I thinking? But he was very charming..
He paid three months up front, but when the rent became due, NOTHING. There are now no rent payments from him, even though he can well afford them. He WILL NOT communicate with me in any way, and all the legal letters have also been ignored. The mid-term inspection requests by a professional company have been ignored, and they report that the mobile number is blocked.. Meaning I cannot see how he is treating the house inside, although the neighbours have complained about the outside.
To cut a long story short, the six month contract ends in three months. You guys obviously know this, but apparently I have to wait al least another month, before giving him another SIX months notice to vacate, then I have all the other court bailiff stuff after that. While he continues to treat my house like ****, and I mount up debts that I seriously cannot afford.
I only took out the Buy-to-Let Mortgage three months ago, can I really go to them and ask for six months payment holiday so soon?
Let's be clear, I believe he knew damn well what he was doing, and never intended to pay rent, surely that counts as Ground 17 False Statement?
It is not going over the top to tell you, that I am literally at the end of my tether, the stress making my condition worse, so much so that I have just spent the last four days unable to get out of bed. Not to mention the toll on my relationship
(name removed) Seems I can't warn anyone else of unscrupulous tenants, probably by law....no wonder they get away with this...
Thanks for your time guys.
