HELP!! Landlord, Police, Financial Investigations!

Which means you still need to pay rent.

Only in arrears though. The key is not to go 2 months overdue (which is not the same as in arrears) so that a Section 8 cannot be used to get you out, but you are only paying for services you have used.

""If he is in custody, why do they need a description ?"

he may have been using different aliases

Thankyou all. Coucil have said the same basically as all of you, that it is going to be a lengthy process, and not to panic!!!!! little hard not to but I am trying! They are puttin me on the housing register and to inform them of any developments as and when they happen. There is no agent, everything is direct through the landlord. I am still going to look for alternative accomodation, as for some reason, after all of this, I just do not feel comfortable, it does not feel like home anymore


And I have no idea why they wanted his description?!?!?! Everything feels like its not hapening to me, if you get my meaning.

Thanks Again!

There is no repo at this point, there is a police 'investigation', where they are trying to pin something on the Landlord by fair means or foul. One thing you can be sure of is that the Police are largely ignorant of the law, especially the laws of tenancy. And the Police have no interests at heart other than their own to get a conviction and crow about it - they are probably not that greatly bothered about the tenants - except possibly to case problems for the Landlord through his tenants.

Who knows, the Landlord could turn out to be innocent and if Caz gave up her tenancy before term on Police 'advice', the Landlord could have a good case against Caz - and the Police would deny all responsibility.

Caz, do nothing until you have some real facts. You won't get real facts from the Police on this matter.

The Police aren't trying to "pin" something on the landlord. The Police Officers didn't go to work, come up with the landlords name and think "Lets find out if this fellas committed a crime so we can stitch him up!".

The Police arent ignorant of the law, they seemed to offer advice and they certainly werent encouraging the OP to breach anything. Besides you are referring to civil law, the Police don't need to know about all aspects civil law, I don't go up to my milkman and get in a strop when he doesn't know the ins and outs of the postal service, its not his job.

The word "Police" in a post isnt an open invitation for an ignorant anti Police rant

I think you are a tad naive.

Certainly the police know no more than anyone here about tenant and landlord law, and I think that the OP needs to be completely disabused of the idea that the police have anything useful to say about the impact of their investigations on her tenancy. Also, the advice that the police gave, to look for another tenancy, could cost Caz dearly. They were encouraging the OP to breach her tenancy. Exactly as you say, the police know little about the civil law, but they were giving Caz flawed advice in relation to her tenancy.

And I am afraid to say that many a police investigation is to attempt to pin a conviction on someone who has come up on their radar rather than establish whether there was a crime, what the crime was and who did it. Anti police rants are not always from a position of ignorance.

The Police weren't encouraging the OP to breach her tenancy, looking elsewhere isn't a breach of tenancy and seeing out your notice period to go to a new place isn't breaching the tenancy, theres nothing to suggest that the advise given wasn't one of those scenarios.

I think someone has been watching too much of The Wire. The reality probably is there has been a complaint from a member of the public and the Police are investigating, which has resulted in an arrest and further enquiries. I seriously doubt this landlord is some Mr Big that would warrant any other response. Your posts have been completely off the wall in this discussion.

Only 35 properties!

The seven men and one woman were held following raids on six residential addresses in Sussex and north London, City of London police said. They are being questioned on suspicion of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud.
A spokesman said the operation was part of an ongoing investigation into a fraud affecting mortgages taken out on more than 500 properties in the south of England between 2005 and 2007.

A pint of what this jokers on, please Landlord. Sounds like real good loopy juice!

Theres nothing wrong with the police officer telling caz to look for somewhere, the hint is the word look, caz is able to look for somewhere else but that doenst mean she is going to move out out of her present place to move in somewhere else. I have a job but im still entitled to look for something else but it doenst mean im going to quit my job to take another job. The police dont have a hat full of names which they pluck names out of it to then pin acusations of illegal wrong doings on them
