Metropolitanlandlord, there is know way I'm offering anymore information. I maybe new on here but I'm no fool. I've read your pm, and I am very confident its not the same person. Good luck with your endeavours.

Werdnall, the question hasn't been answered perhaps I'm not asking correctly. As he has been there before 1989, does this mean he has a protected tenancy. By that I mean he lived there before 89 but was the owner and not a tenant.
If you don't know its not a problem I will speak with sols tomorrow.

Werdnall is right:

his rights as a tenant started from the point where he became a tenant.

However few of us here are experts in protected tenancies (they are rare beasts, and given a wide berth by most landlords).

Shelter has a simplistic tenancy checker here.

If consulting a solicitor, make sure
a) you provide a full breakdown of all key facts and
b) they are specialists in landlord/tenant law

or try posing the details on landlordzone here.

Mike3 I have tendencey towards transparency. You evidently have the opposite. During my more than 50 years of self-employment nearly every trader I have come across who plays their cards close to their chest has eventually gone bust whilst I haven't - not even with this dodgey tenant and her dodgey son.

I think next time I come across someone who seems about to be conned and decide I ought to help them I'll give them a wide berth.
