I can see plenty of reasons she may feel trapped.

The main one being her wish to live beyond her means!

The OP asked about her RIGHTS. If the man posted here asking about his ex's rights he'd have had the same answer, she has none. Nor has the OP said she wants to be allowed to stay two months, she has been quite clear she does not WANT to return to her flat, not simply that she cannot, and that she does not WANT to serve notice on her tenants.

Yes, she has been told she has no rights and has been told by you kind folks a lot more about her current situation which may or may not be correct

Equally, if the man posted he would be told she has no rights but I don't think it would stop there.

Had she asked if it was resonable to stay a few weeks, whilst she could arrange other suitable accommodation, then I think we would have got vastly different responces.

Most of us will take steps to protect ourself, when someone begin to throw words like 'legal rights' around.

Especially when that someone has only been living in the property for a very few weeks.

Maybe the OP was enquiring about getting more than just a few days notice and just worded the question in an unfortunate manner. As a long term member of the forums I am amazed at the amount of abuse and assumptions which have been made. Clearly this is a single mother, she has stated that the police have been involved and she has also said that she cannot move back into her flat without giving notice. It seems to me, that as she has just had surgery and is unable to lift anything, surely it is unreasonable to expect her and her daughter to move out? I don't understand where the sponging part came from either? She has already stated that she pays bills. Maybe we just all read things differently.

I thought the latest update from the OP was she had been looking at Rightmove and was looking for a flat to rent but was annoyed that the web-site wasn't being updated?

Seems to me the OP didn't know if she had any right to stay in the house which clearly she doesn't, she found out this advice on here and was given abuse, called a parasite, lady muck etc. She has now realised and started to look for somewhere to move into from this Friday coming?

The amount of 'this is what probably happened' on this thread is amazing, seems we have some talented mind readers!

The one just a few hours before where she's threatening to get a right to occupy from the courts doesn't suggest that she's a victim of abuse as you seem to want everyone to think.

I still don't get how someone threatening court action to stay in a house can possibly be trapped as you claim? You must be reading a very different thread to the rest of us!

She's also said that she has no intention to return to her flat and that without her ex paying the mortgage and half the bills (more than his fair share) that she can't afford her luxuries (private education!) and that's why she wants to stay in the house. That's where the sponging part comes from.

NewKitten why are you so bitter? It seems like a personal vendetta towards the OP.
Why should her daughter have to move schools just because her relationship has broken down and why should her daughter have to leave her friends and bedroom without any notice?
I can't imagine any mum wanting to do that to their child. OP is clearly just wanting to get things straight and figure out their future and keep her daughter happy. All she was asking is does she have any right to stay for a while to sort out their lives.

If the man had posted would have been told by me I think he is being unreasonable and was out of order to be threatening. I don't see how that helps the OP, you think he will give two hoots what strangers on a forum think if she shows him the thread? If she wastes time imagining she has rights or wastes time taking legal advice she is far more likely to end up actually homeless. I've reread my posts and I stand by them, straight talking in the first two, clearly frustrated in post 31.

She has to move schools because mummy can't afford to pay the fees. I would've thought that was obvious! This is the danger when you live off someone else.

I can't imagine any parent wanting to keep their child in a house which they find frightening, but obviously the OP has no problem with that as long as she's getting a free ride.
