Served s.8 Notice; T moving out; how to collect arrears?

13-04-2009, 13:02 PM

We served a section 8 on our T and she is now 3 months in arrears. Over the bank holiday weekend she has started to move out. There are still a few pieces of furniture of hers in our property.

She changed the locks when she refused to pay the rent. I want to know when we can go in and change them and reclaim our house? I want to make sure I follow correct procedure after being so patient by serving the section 8.

Also I dont want her to get away with oweing us 3 months rent - what is the process for going through small claims court? I know I will probably never get the money back but I want her to get a CCJ for what she has done. I have got her next of kin (her mother's) address.

Also how do I get her desposit out of the protection scheme without her co-operation?

Any help would be great. I want to make sure she doesnt keep doing this and getting away with it!
Thanks

Upate

It now looks like she has moved out ie the neighbours have seen her packing up a van and her cat has gone.

Where do I stand legally with re-enteriny my house? Is there a protocol I need to follow? I am worried we will be there with a locksmith and get in and she will still be there. If that happened what would I do?

Thanks!

My daughter will be in a student house in the autumn. The account holder should benefit, but if they are not an account holder for pay back she will be ok.

Government handouts to tenants or landlords

by AndrewDod

Here is another bit of pending legislation/government spittle that has been ill thought through.

My kid has a tenancy which includes Council Tax and Energy as part of the rent. Her rent has gone up a lot as a result of increased cost of these inclusions.

Now after the fact...

Tell your kid that with no CT liablity they should apply to the council for the extra £150 as a 'Local energy discretionary' payout.

The councils have been given money to give to people in this situation, HMO's etc.
Have a look on their council website for how they are running their...

This tells you twhy you can't get rid of them the same way as other ants, and that store bought ant killers will not work.

It gives suggestions on what you can do:

I think that you're supposed to spend £10k on energy saving improvements and if this doesnt get it to a C, you're still allowed to let it.

EPC Certificates for 1977 Rent Act Tenants

by Katherine Parsons

Is there any information you can point me to that deals with this topic? It is unlikely that I will be able to get my properties up to a Band C in time for 2028 and I have sitting tenants who are, by law, entitled to stay put in their properties and can't just be evicted because they have a right to...

Reply to Section 257 HMO and Council Tax

by Ted.E.Bear
No, it is likely that the VOA simply don't know about it. Anything that brings it to the attention of the council may well result in a referral for revaluing.

Section 257 HMO and Council Tax

by Tony-Edwards

I believe that under a shared-facility HMO situation, Council Tax is levied on the whole property.

I'm thinking of buying a Section 257 HMO (a building converted to 4 self-contained studios that doesn't meet the relevant building standards).

I'm being told it is paying 1 council...

The VOA is likely to chamge it to at least 4x band A at some point.

You may also need an HMO licence if the Council have or introduce an Additional Licensing scheme.
