how common is request to extend struck out date of adjournment with liberty to restor

by bermudj

Hi,

On January 13 I went to court as I was on rent arrears. This was my first time after having lived at the same premises of a housing coop for 9 years. I paid the arrears at court and the coop asked for an adjournment with liberty to restore with a struck out period of 3 months. Just...

I fell into rent arrears, it was less than 2K. I explained I had some difficulties and I agreed with them a repayment of the arrears by instalments. Then they lied, as they are constantly doing, about an issue with universal credit. I challenged them on...

by theartfullodger

He could argue he has taken possession early. Avoid. Either change dates or say no.

Moving some furniture in early, maybe a rent free period?

by cuttingman

My perspective tenant came round today for a second viewing and to measure up. He asked if it would be possible to move stuff in early. I pointed out that he had stated the move in date was 25th Aug and leaving stuff would be at his own risk. We have yet to sign the tenancy agreement.

From...
