When I bought a house in 2000 in the Highlands it came with a garage: Which had a car in it. Belonged to a neighbour, who used it to sleep in when he'd been in the pub too late & his wife locked him out. Took me 6 months to sort...

I knew someone who had this problem. They just went down and removed the garage door. ?

The agent has not thought this through. If you get an order for possession that will still leave you with the goods in the garage. An order is unnecessary. If the notice to quit was valid the tenancy has come to an end and you can enter. If the agreement says nothing about disposing of goods you have to got the route of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977.

Your tenancy agreement should have terms allowing possession in the event of no rent being paid. And your notice should be enough if valid.
You can’t avoid the Interference With Goods Act, it’s the law and looks to be applicable.

What does the tenancy agreement say about goods left behind? And about giving notice?
He could be sick, in hospital, jail, holiday........

Garage left filled with tenant's goods
Hi! Hoping the forum can advise me. We have a lock-up garage in a residential estate that had been let to an individual who ceased to pay monthly rental. Notice to quit was served by our letting agents Countrywide in October, and yet the tenant's goods still remain in situ. Agents have advised us to go to court for possession (as opposed to going down the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 route).
Can anyone advise me of how this works, and point me in the direction of a good template Letter Before Action? Any other advice? Please be kind, my first time in this situationTags: None

by FairAppleThe whole premise of my post is that a landlord would only be interested in pursuing a tenant through the courts if he is seeking damages above the value of the deposit.
Moreover, in the case of deposits under the insurance scheme, the landlord already has the money. Therefore, the tenant...-

by FairAppleCorrect me if I'm wrong, but it seems that allowing arbitration through the ADR requires consent from both the tenant and the landlord. Obviously the tenants are likely to prefer this when they do not agree to a given deduction.
But what prevents a landlord from making a deduction right...-

by jpkeatesI think some of this is based on some odd assumptions.
Yes, a landlord (like a tenant) can decline to use ADR and, if there's no resolution to a dispute, the tenant would need to sue their landlord.
The courts don't seem to be more strict or impartial than ADR and the loser...-

Reply to Trying to evict son from my propertyby jpkeatesHow can anyone think he's a permitted occupier?
That makes no sense.
He's either a family member making a contribution to the upkeep of somewhere or a tenant who should pay rent.
If you treat them as the latter, you're unlikely to go wrong.
You should ask for the...-

by deleterenewThis is a very messy situation. My son lived with my mother, and when she died (2016) I inherited her house. My son carried on living there and did not pay anything or make any contributions to the rent. During 2020 my circumstances changed and I needed him to pay to live there. He did pay some money...

Reply to Trying to evict son from my propertyby deleterenewI looked at these previously but they seem to specialise in standard cases, that can be easily won in court. Everyone I've contacted is unsure whether he's a tenant or an permitted occupier. I have a key and until last year when this started I stayed with him when I visited the north east,...
