Eviction notice

have been served an eviction order but they have spelt my first name wrong.
The eviction order is from a solicitor, not a court (yet;) ), do I have to comply despite my name being spelt wrong.

And they have not served it on me. Simply posted it.Hugh_G_Rection wrote: »Alas, yes you do.
I know that I can mess them around through the courts for a couple of months, but if I say I never received the eviction notice, will the process not have to start from the beginning?
Before all you lovely landlords think I am a bad tennant, my bungalow belongs to a petrol station (company), they have been bought out by a bigger company and just served eviction noticies on me and one other. Barstewards.
All this in spite of me being the perfect tennent for 5 years.S!!!!horpe0 -
I do not know the reason 100%.Daz, Can I be 'rude' and ask you why you have an eviction notice?? If you don't want to answer just tell me to P.... Off.

I live behind a petrol station and the house belongs to them. The petrol station is all on one level and has about 4 offices. We believe that they want to make a big shop by taking out the offices and using "my" bungalow as offices.
They have also sacked the garage manager after about 20 years service, his wife after about 24 years service and evicted a businessman who has just rented an annex shop and paid for it to be shopfitted to be a dry cleaning and ironing shop.S!!!!horpe0 -
I took this off the Sheter site I am guessing now that you are up to date with your rent.
The freeholder is trying to evict me
It's very rare for a freeholder to evict a leaseholder. This can only happen if you break one of the conditions of your lease (such as not paying the service charges or ground rent) and your lease has a clause that says that it can be ended (forfeited).
If you can put the problem right (for example by paying off what you owe), the legal action will automatically stop and your lease will continue as before. If you can do this before the freeholder applies for a court hearing, you will avoid the legal costs involved, which can be expensive.
You should get advice immediately if your freeholder threatens you with repossession. If your freeholder tries to evict you without following the correct procedure, it may be a criminal offence.
It sounds to me as they are going about it all the right way. It is usual for a Court to issue Notices by post unless and until people become difficult because it is cheaper than having a baliff come and find you.
I do know that there is a set procedure and I think it is a minimum of 60 days before they have the right to seek an order from the Court. You can ask Shelter about your particular case (you have to give them lots of detail including what type of tenancy you have) and they get back to you by email within a couple of days.0 -
I am an assured shorthold tenant. Apparently.
And I am currently holding the property under a statutory monthly periodic assured shorthold tenancy where each period commences on the first day of every month. ApparantlyS!!!!horpe0 -

In that case I think all they need do is give you a Notice period of 60 days. At then end of that time if you are still there they can go to the Court and say that they have complied with the law. The Court might give you a bit longer to move but after that they can give the baliffs an order to come and throw your stuff out and change the locks.0 -

Yes unfortunately you don't hold too many rights as you probably know. Are you planning to rent somewhere else?? or maybe buy somewhere?? Now is the time to ask for references etc If you don't they could be really awkward later and it might stop you getting somewhere you like.

I know I have to go, but intend to delay it as long as possible (legally) they will also not see another penny off me.
