Reply to Is it legal to lock lodger out of shared facilities prior to eviction date

by qwertyq

She's not that old lol (50s) However she does care for my younger brother who has severe autism. Thanks, I will plan on making a scene if the police come regarding my brother's safety while these people are still allowed to stay in the house.

My mum said she said things similar to what...

Is it legal to lock lodger out of shared facilities prior to eviction date

by qwertyq

Hi everyone,

My mum is having issues with a lodger that refuses to pay rent and has now given the lodger notice to leave at the end of the month. However, my mum has decided to lock the lodger out of using shared facilities (bathroom and kitchen). Is this legal to do prior to the eviction...

Reply to Possession Order without Gas Safety Certificate

by KTC

You are (relatively) free to endanger yourself, but as a landlord you have a duty to make sure the property you are letting to your tenant is safe. That's the difference.

by Mogwai

Hello,

I some a difficult tenant that is over £7,000 in arrears.

I have issued a Section 8 and filed for a possession order. A hearing date has been set for 06/10/20.

My concern is that I do not have a valid Gas Safe Certificate. By being unorganised, I've overlooked...

Reply to Possession Order without Gas Safety Certificate

by flyingfreehold

I didn't have my home boiler checked under a gas safety type regime for years and years, doesn't make it dangerous. It was an old Potterton, no fan, just the simple basic model they stopped making in the early 90s. When i did bring a plumber in he said it was all clean as a whistle. The annual GSC is...

Reply to Is it legal to lock lodger out of shared facilities prior to eviction date

by Hudson01

This is a very canny way to approach it, by definition (if she is proper old !!!!!) from the Police point of view she is vulnerable, and if there are people in her property that she does not want to be there, the Police have a duty of care to her, by staying in the house and not going out to not risk...

Reply to Rent repayment order and deposit penalty

by KTC

Why haven't you changed the locks already?

Why would you, given the landlord as you described?

Potentially, but based solely on your post, probably not. The only relevant ground I can see for a RRO is "eviction or harassment of occupiers"...

Rent repayment order and deposit penalty

by Itsamoopoint

Hello,
I have been a tenant in England for four years. Everything was fine on both my part and the landlords part until earlier this year. My landlord has always had a habit of letting himself in, either into the house itself or the garden,with no notice. By March,I’d had enough and sent a letter,...

Reply to Getting rid of lodgers possessions

by Hudson01

Given her parents are friends i would of thought that they would step up and sort this out....... i certainly would if it were my daughter, do as above, tell all parties how long you will keep the goods and then dispose of as you see fit and let them know the outcome after.

Getting rid of lodgers possessions

by Shirleyanne68

I had a lodger move in last September she was a friends daughter so we didn’t sign any contract or lease. She went to Sheffield couple of months ago then told me she wasn’t moving back. I sent her a text saying she had to give a months notice which runs out 24/09/2020. I don’t have a forwarding...
