buying with sitting family member

11-07-2007, 18:59 PM

Unusual situation this one. I have been offered a property that lady inherited from her sister. Her son is a tenant in the property paying a nominal rent. Unfortunately the son is very estranged and refusing to allow any access to the property and also making threats to his mother. He has lived there since 1998 and stayed on when his Aunt died in 2000 as a tenant of his mother.

If I buy this house can I issue a standard S21 to evict him or does he have any special rights?

Any help much appreciated here.

1. The family relationship of V and T is irrelevant to his legal status.
2. T holds an AST, I think (unless rent is so low that paragraphs 3/3A/3B/3C in Schedule 1 to Housing Act 1988 dis-apply the Act entirely).
3. If it is an AST, s.21 will aply too.

I have to concur with DPT57 - Find out first if this ' Gentleman' either owners said property, rents it privately or from the council/housing association. My job puts me in direct contact with morons such as this and i can assure you it is a long process to get rid of them (if they move at all), the...

Forced to sell because of dangerous neighbours

by oystersequel

Hi,

I have rented a very nice small modern house in West Yorkshire for ten years with no problems. In September last year our long term tennant moved out because of issues with the next door neighbours. When the house was empty we went to re decorate. Straight away the neighbour played...

Help Filling out NB5 - Accelerated Possession Order

by SefasVoice

Hi there, I am a landlord who has now reached the stage of trying to evict my tenant. I issued a Section 21 that expired in Nov 2020. I have been patient and even tried to help my tenant find new accommodation, but all have been 'unsuitable'.

I am pretty confident filling out and starting...

I just wish Paxlo was my landlord. Whilst I whole heartedly agree it's not good to get into rent arrears, I smell a strong backstory in the narrative laid down so far. I would love to play the role of the "disgusting, benefits-scrounging tenant" he portrays and to face Paxlo in Court with...

When you say you were about to put the property on the market do you mean to sell? or to rent?
From the questions you ask it doesn't sound as if you were looking to rent it out.

If you were looking to sell then I would be asking myself why they want to rent the property and not buy...

Service address for the previous tenant

by fyfvec

Hi,

My tenant is (hopefully) moving out, but still owes a huge amount of unpaid rent. The deposit won't cover the full amount.
I'm worried they will move out without paying up and without giving me the new address.

Is it possible to file a money claim without a known...
