You can use reasonable force to remove someone from your property, can you not?
I can't believe people are defending the rights of others to enter and occupy your property. Surely, the rights of the property owner must come first?
To the OP: just call the police and say you have an intruder in your property, which is actually a statement of fact. Get the cheeky cow arrested and dealt with.Everyone is entitled to my opinion!0 -
there was no agreement with this rough woman, she is trespassing in an occupied building, call the police.Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000

You can use reasonable force to remove someone from your property, can you not? No you can't which is why the OP has been advised to go through the correct, legal process to secure possession.
I can't believe people are defending the rights of others to enter and occupy your property. Surely, the rights of the property owner must come first? Nobody is defending anything as far as I can see. Everybody could have their sympathies completely on the LL's side but that doesn't mean that people should act outside of the law. The penalties for chucking someone out onto the street are severe!

The police won't be interested. The original tenant still has a legally-binding agreement: ceasing to live in the property and allowing someone else to reside there against the landlord's wishes is not a criminal issue: it's civil one.
It must be very satisfying to be a keyboard warrior but your opinion, however strongly held, does not make it magically transmogrify into fact.

I think you might get a better reception to your half-jokes on the "Discussion Time" forum. Most of the threads on here are about rather more serious issues, as you can see.0

I haven't seen anyone defending her. However, if she has rights, she has rights, and those rights will be protected by legislation. All that is being suggested is that the LL doesn't transgress that legislation and leave himself open to prosecution. Individual posters may well feel that she should be tarred, feathered and paraded through the streets on a horse drawn cart, but it would be foolish to advise another to do so.0 -
Others may find it amazing that posters who have never met the woman refer to her thus:Sorry just found it amazing that people where defending the unwanted occupant and her right to stay.paddedjohn wrote: »CHEEKY BI*TCH.:mad:Pregnant or not pregnant, I would put the cheeky cow .....
