Reply to Lockdown and repossessions

by jpkeates

The government has said it will stop eviction by bailiffs where there are local lockdowns.
So presumably they will do the same in the event of a national lockdown.

There are public health reasons not to repossess properties when plague is widespread, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Lockdown and repossessions

by Perce

Will the courts stop repossessions procedures as before if they introduce lockdown ?...

Reply to Is a Tomlin order a possession order?

by jpkeates

A Tomlin Order is a settlement that's been deferred.
So the court has already ordered possession and then deferred the execution of the order.
So, the case hasn't been stayed by the court, so you should be able to simply ask the court to execute the original decision.

But that's...

Is a Tomlin order a possession order?

by Cuomo78

I had a Tomlin order with a tenant, signed by the court. We agreed in February for him to leave in April, he didn't (claiming hardship because of Coronavirus).

The Tomlin order gives me permission to ask the court to enforce its execution on Grounds 10 & 11 if he didn't leave.

Reply to Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by jpkeates

The OPs already changed the locks, so they're past any point of an abandonment procedure.

If you wade through the slightly sensationalist article, you will see that a landlord prosecuted for illegal eviction is "typically" fined about £1000.

Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by MR M

The tenancy is a statutory periodic tenancy after the original AST ended. The tenant has rent arrears and a S21 was issued around 3 months ago. There is no deposit and an EPC, gas safety certificate and how to rent guide were all issued previously to the tenant.

I believe that the tenant...

Reply to Tenant needing zero deposit and guarantor

by DPT57

I think you make a strong case dekaspace and I do agree that we need a better means of providing security to landlords. You were clearly a decent but impoverished tenant caught in a housing system that has failed those in poverty. I would say, however, that private sector landlords can never be the...

Tenant needing zero deposit and guarantor

by Celibin

The fact that someone does not bother either to save up for a deposit or borrow it from the guarantor seems a negative point or have they been guided into the scheme by a greedy agent?
Perhaps they have good intentions of course, do like the property and will look after it?
They do need...

Reply to Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by DPT57

If you follow the Housing and Planning Act 2016 abandonment procedure, (even though it was never enacted), then I think you would be very unlikely to receive a prison sentence in the already unlikely event that a court would find in favour of the tenant claiming illegal eviction. The worst case scenario...
