Reply to Property damaged. Advice please

by DoricPixie

Harsh as it sounds I agree with Hudson01 about serving notice. I suspect that in this case the tenant will try for social housing and be advised to drag the eviction out until the bitter end.

Property damaged. Advice please

by minorbark

Apologies if something similar has already been covered elsewhere. I did try to search but couldn't find anything that matched my situation particularly closely. A huge thanks in advance to any of you who do take the time to read and advise.

TLDR version: Police have forced entry into my...

Best to take Lawcruncher's advice and post a copy of the guarantee to make sure it is valid otherwise you could spend time and money taking the guarantor to court only to end up with egg on your face.

Taking tenant AND guarantor to small claims court for rent arrears - options?

by mucker973

Hi All,
I have a tenant who has messed we around for some time now and owes a lot of arrears. Why it’s gone on this long is a long story and not important…

Reply to Taking tenant AND guarantor to small claims court for rent arrears - options?

by Lawcruncher

I think it may be a good idea to post the guarantee leaving out names and addresses. You do not want to be suing the guarantor if there is no chance of success.

Reply to Property damaged. Advice please

by Hudson01

Your last few thoughts would be mine, it sounds all to familiar, the Police will not pay out, it appears they had a valid reason for forcing entry and you will never get to know on what basis they did it, if it were me i would guess that the tenant has made either previous or recent comments in regards...

Reply to accelerated possession section 8

by jpkeates

That's not the same thing, though.

A section 21 notice accelerated possession claim is one that can proceed without a hearing (although that doesn't always happen). It is a specific process that you elect to follow (or not).

A section 8 notice will always have a hearing, because...
