Hi,
Hope this is the right topic area
I wanted to ask advice about what rights you would have if you were still a co owner in a property who had moved out due to a relationship breakdown and your ex has moved in a new partner without notifying you beforehand?
Would you have the right to ask the new partner to leave the property?
Thank you.

A friend had this problem. The answer he got was that anyone has a basic human right (!) to shack up with who they like.
The new partner would have no residency rights. There is some question about whether the old partner could claim rental from the new partner.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Wow this is a loaded topic! Depends if you are paying mortgage and/or child support. I don't think you can object on moral grounds because if your relationship is over you both have to move on. Somebody I know is in this position and his wife can live in the house until the youngest child leaves fulltime education, then the house must be sold. She has a live in boyfriend but apparently house/child expenses not his responsiblity.0

No mention of kids from original poster - loaded indeed :rotfl::beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
OP didn't mention children - but didn't mention who was paying the mortgage.
IF the relationship is over, I guess the person remaining in the house can invite whoever they so wish to share it with them.
Move on.

Apologies for late response as I have been away for a few days.
Thank you for your thoughts. There is a young child at the property and the father is very concerned due to some aggression at the house being reported back to him by a third party. Without wishing to go into full detail, the parents are separated and the mother did not notify him that she had moved a new partner into the house without his knowledge or permission. The mortgage is in both names and he pays child support.
I asked the question on his behalf as he had not yet been able to speak to his solicitor about this. Your responses have been appreciated, thank you.0
