Actually, I can't see why it would be breaking the law to advertise that the tenant has had a section 21served and is still refusing to leave. I really don't think it's harrassment - I wonder if there's any case law on this? And it's certainly not libellous if it's true.
I think the main reason it's not done is that it isn't likely to succeed.
I am sure I saw a news item that some banks are sending little bands round to people defaulting on their loans. The guys stand outside and sing about how good it is not to be in debt. Apparently, they have a great success rate.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

If he posted it on usenet , it would be there for all to read for eternity!0 -

Think maybe Sanjeev is referring to the other property being offered at the same rent (£100 pcm down from what it should bring in ) for a 12 month tenancy......
Yes, that's how I read it. But it doesn't add up. The OP says that the reason the buyer is in such a hurry is to avoid £1500 stamp duty. But if the buyer is willing to forego £1200 in rent next year, then that lets the buyer in for a great deal of hassle, only to be £300 better off. Since the buyer appears to be a LL with several properties, £300 shouldn't be that big a deal, so this doesn't make any sense at all. Why doesn't the buyer just wait until sunjeev can get the tenant evicted, cough up the stamp duty, and let the other, nicer, property at the market rate to a tenant who plays by the rules? Or else tell sunjeev he's not interested until the place is vacant, and walk away. There's no motivation for the buyer to go to all this trouble to facilitate a quick sale. There's more going on here than the OP has explained.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Clearly, the buyer's other property is currently standing vacant, therefore Sunjeev's claim that he will be letting at a loss of £100 per month is conjecture. If he has a void period of a couple of month's he has in effect lost around £1200 anyway, even if he managed to let it at the full rent he reckons he could get for the rest of the year.......Yes, that's how I read it. But it doesn't add up. The OP says that the reason the buyer is in such a hurry is to avoid £1500 stamp duty.

I am wondering if the 'buyer' has a bit of a reputation and the tenant does not want him as a landlord.
Something else is definately going on that has not been put here.0
