Lockdown and repossessions

[Perce]

TF knew that his audience most probably never served an eviction notice so don’t know that it is not registered anywhere....

Those who are not paying anything are doing it deliberately or cannot be bothered to make arrangements. Where do they get money to eat, pay bills, pay council tax, pay for mobile phones, pay for petrol like my tenant ? The government provides a lot of support with rent. I have just looked in my area...

You can try offering him to cancel the arrears if he leaves

“Currently, it looks like claims for overdue rent via the small claims route are being scheduled for hearings in late 2021 (your local county court may be different).”

Does this mean that if I issue MCOL today the court won’t deal with the claim until the end of 2021 ?...

It looks like we have to buy out our non paying tenants with the way things are going.

My S21 in court. So what is next ? Do I wait to hear from the court for months, years ?...

See the article “Justice for Landlords” in 118 Property.

Totally agree that out properties have been expropriated....

Do not despair. It will be sorted.

Maybe barrister will be better than a solicitor. Some of them are very good from my experience....

The government is giving a lot of support to people who lost their job. A friend of mine lost his job but said it was enough to pay the reduced rent, bills and food. He even managed to save a bit.

The only hope is that the non paying tenants leave before bailiffs come since it is clear that the plague is here forever.

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

Just call HCEO. They will will explain everything. Easy....

I understand you have a possession order already ? There are a lot of us waiting for tomorrow including myself so I know how you feel. I keep my fingers crossed. Make sure you issue a ccj for all the money he owes you. This situation cannot last forever....

I have understood that the items fall off the tables and cupboards upstairs......

[Perce]

Hope no U turn tomorrow because of those with issues but no problems....

[Perce]

And don’t forget the new lockdowns which are on the way.

[Perce]

My tenant’s demands were unreasonable and he wanted too much in advance of his departure which is very risky so I proceeded with MCOL. S21 is already in court. Very stressful time....

[Perce]

When you do MCOL do you need to give a date of birth of your tenant or just giving his address is enough ?...

Each time I look at the title of this thread I get a mini heart attack. Ll(s) who are waiting for 23rd Sept will understand.

You can be taken to court if you lie by the next landlord.
