Eviction help

Werdnal

OP, I and many of the other responders to this thread are LANDLORDS, and trying both here and on previous posts to advise you the correct, legal and quickest route to sort out all the problems you have, many of which have been brought on by your own ignorance, arrogance and total disregard to advice and help given to you in previous posts about this tenancy.

You serve the notice papework on the tenant's last address - your rental property - which you have now locked her out of, preventing her accessing the documents you are supposed to serve to her. If she does not respond to the notice, the court will find in your favour, but in preventing her receiving them, you have shot yourself in the foot!

The tenant IS in the wrong here, but if you stand any chance of getting your property back and the money she owes you, YOU have to follow the correct legal process. You have a good case against the tenant, but have played right into their hands by failing to protect their deposit, and giving them the opportunity to sue you for this, and illegal eviction, which will get you into far more trouble than she has caused you so far - failure to protect deposit = 3x deposit value plus original deposit + illegal eviction = several thousand £ fine, criminal record and a possible prison sentence ...

You may think the legislation favours tenants, and too right it does - it protects tenants from landlords like you who do not have the faintest clue what they are doing, refuse to be told and still go on their own sweet way thinking they are above the law and can do no wrong!

Like others here, I am a landlord. And like others, I offered advice in your previous thread.


But your persisted moaning about 'tenants rights', and your persistance in ignoring advice, and ignoring landlord law makes me wonder who I feel most sorry for.

Bad tenants are a b*tch (apologise to female dogs, no intent to be animalist).

But bad landlords are worse. They are running a business & should do so professionally.

It was landlords like Rackman in the 50/60s who triggered much of the pro-tenant leglislation (although much was stripped away later by Maggie). You'd have got on well together....

We all have views about the fairness, or justification for various laws (my car has great disc breaks - perfectly safe at 90 mph) but we still have to obey them, or suffer the consequencies.

These two quotes go perfectly together.

OP, I'm a LL, and I'm also a housing specialist, and I've served defective notices etc before now.

If it ain't legal, it ain't legal, and on the other side of the coin, the property has probably been sublet by your tenant, with the subtenant having no idea it's not her property.

This OP doesn't want to understand the mess he has created for himself. Multiple threads just hoping for someone to reinforce his mistaken ideas.

Unfortunately, it seems to be the case

An awful landlord and an awful tenant. You were made for each other :beer:

I am neither landlord nor tenant but read most of the posts. Why do you persist in asking for advice, you have very clearly not taken any of it on board? It wouldn't matter who gave you the advice as it is clearly a matter of legal process not subjective opinion.

If you were open to advice maybe someone would be able to help you, but it may be too late as you appear to have dug yourself a very big hole.

If you read some of the helpful advice you would realise that the point is your tenant may have disappeared but it does not make them your EX tenant.

I'm beginning to think this is a windup. Which part of the answers you have received don't you understand as you keep repeating yourself. You will never move on from this.
